M's 0 - Nationals 1

Mariners lose. No, they didn't lose. They flew majestically through the air, made a spectacular loop-de-loop, took a crap mid-flight, and ended up crapping onto their own head. Michael Pineda was great tonight (after a slow start, this whole not warming up thing...no me gusta) going 7 innings with 9 Ks and 1 BB, giving up 0 runs. Chris Ray gave up the only run of the game in the 9th to lose it. No, saying he lost it doesn't give adequate blame to the offense. Stupid. Only bright spot was Smoak who went 2 for 3 with a walk. F&*#, even PINEDA got a hit.

*sigh*

The frustration stems from 3 straight games of 1 run losses. All three very winnable. Against the Nationals. Without Strasberg or anyone else notable. Just...lame. Welcome back, sub-.500.

(37-38)

M's 1 - Tigers 8

Mariners lose as Michael Pineda had his second hiccup on the year. Although he went 5.1 innings with 4 K's and only 1 BB, not a bad line for a bad outing, he was hung with 5 earned runs and 1 unearned run by the time he hit the showers in the 6th. Ichiro went 2 for 4 with a triple after his off day. The rest of the team's hits came from Smoak, Carp, and Halman, pretty much who you'd expect right now.

(33-32)

Of note, not only have the Rangers had the same game result as the Mariners for the past 7 games, they lost today 8 to 1. Copycats!
