**//**Official Seattle Mariners Thread**//**

[Lakers4life714]

Well here it is :). I love the Mariners, always have cause I live in Spokane. What do all you Mariner fans think they need to get to the top.

Now they do play in a very tough division, probably the best in the league with 3 or more competive teams. I think the main thing they need is good pitching from Freddy Garcia, and he needs to be consistent rather then having big hot and cold streaks.

Also they need that big hitter, which they dont really have but hopefully the pick ups of Aurilia, and Spiezio, and Ibanez will cover that. Well I will keep you Mariner fans updated with how they do each game starting Monday!

[Mariners in 2006]

About time we got a thread, I live three hours south of Seattle in Portland, but I go to 35-40 games a year...

The M's pitching is fine, the staff is top five (behind A's, Cubs, Astros and Sox), their bullpen is the best in the MLB. The only thing we lack is hitting, but we traded for it this offseason. Ibanez will do alright (25 HR, 100 RBI) and Spiezio/Aurilia are decent. But with the best leadoff hitter, DH and 2B in the game right now we should take the West...

[Lakers4life714]

Ya I also hope the Mariners will thrive being the underdog. Just recieved SI last night and they are predicted third behind the Angels and A's.

The one thing they need to do is play well late, which they havent done the last two years. If they do that they will win the division.

[REDSFAN2004]

i hope the mariners have a great year as well.

[Ghost_X_51]

this is what I'm talking about a Mariner, thread. Ichiro will go four year's in a roll with 200+ hits. and the mariners will go to the big show, best believe.

[REDSFAN2004]

im holdin you to that Ghost jk. :lol: it would be nice though seeing the ms in the world series though. :)

[Ghost_X_51]

you can count on it, Ichiro will also get his second MVP!!! :D

[REDSFAN2004]

i hope so Ghost that would be sweet.go ms in the AL :D .

[Lakers4life714]

Man I just hope Ichiro doesnt get "tired" in the second half of the season lol, along with the rest of the Mariners squad. I honestly believe they can beat the no hitting A's and the no pitching but think they got good pitching Angels if they play good down the stretch.

OPENING DAY IS TOMORROW FOR THE M's!

[Ghost_X_51]

I can't wait for this Game, I'm glad to see in the first game the M's will get to play the best in the west. Bartolo Colon, Ichiro is about to show you how it's done fo sho.

[Lakers4life714]

Damnit, Mariners lost this game bad guys. 10-5 was final score. The Mariners just got to far behind to soon. It was 10-1 at one point.

Aurilia had a REALLY tough opener. Making two errors in the first 3 innings. Ibanez had a double.

Glaus had two home runs off Moyer. Not a good season openor for him either, hopefully they will win tomorrow.

[Lakers4life714]

Damn Mariners off to a horrible start. Boone and Garcia are about the only Mariners to have decent starts.

Mariners lost game two of the series 10-7 (0-2)

Mariners lost game three of the seres 5-1 (0-3)

Damn they got sweeped, Angels do have a good team though, Garcia must be ****ed, Angels scorin 5 runs in the Top of the 9th of Shigi. Hopefully they can get their first win against the A's.

[Lakers4life714]

Jesus crist things are not lookin good for the M's. They have had the lead in both the games against the A's and blown them both. They have the worst record in the league, and Harold Reyonlds put them as one of his 3 downs :shock: :shock:

Game 4: Mariners lose to A's (0-4)

Game 5: Mariners lose to A's (0-5)

[Mariners in 2006]

0-5...They need a win today against Mulder and the A's, they are the only winless team in the League, c'mon M's :?

[Mariners in 2006]

The M's finally won :D ...9-4 in 10 innings...They are 1-5 and have a TOUGH series in Anaheim coming up

[Lakers4life714]

Well Mariners said it all, they finally won one! Ya they are in Anahiem too. They just need to pitch, and not wait tell the 40th inning to start and hit. They also need to get a little more power. Boone has the teams ONLY two homers this season so far, eeck. Jamie Moyer hasnt really been impressive yet either.

Game 6: Mariners win their first game 9-5 (1-5)

[Mariners in 2006]

Game 6: Mariners win their first game 9-5 (1-5)

They won 9-4...That extra run would have hurt their ERA... :D

[Mariners in 2006]

1-7 :cry: ...C'mon M's...The Angels are gonna sweep us again...I am going to the game tomorrow and Saturday in Seattle, hopefully they turn things around tonight and into the weekend...

[Lakers4life714]

Sorry about that Mariners, wouldnt wanna up the ERA haha. Well I am in a good mood, because the Mariners just moved one game higher in the standings, they are now only 72 games back :?. Well they avoided the sweep thats a good thing, I was scared for a second when Kennedy hit that one in the second, I thought oh no not again. But the Mariners turned it aroudn and won it!

Game 9: Mariners over Angels in Game 3 6-2 (2-7)

[Mariners in 2006]

I just got back from the game and it wasnt pretty :(
Nix of all people hit a two run shot right where I was sitting in center and Blalock hit one to right...At least they gave out free Ichiro T-shirts at the game, tomorrow they give out Boone shirts, cant wait... :D

[Lakers4life714]

Haha well they actually won today, Moyer finally threw a hell of a game. Still not a home run, the have three all season =/.

Game 11: Mariners over Rangers in Game 2 4-1 (3-8)[/i]

[Mariners in 2006]

Haha well they actually won today, Moyer finally threw a [***]

Game 11: Mariners over Rangers in Game 2 4-1 (3-8)[/i]

It was a good game, the crowd went crazy when Dan the Man cleared the bases with the double. Moyer was awesome :D , hopefully they win today and Pinerio gets his first win. Tuesday I am going up to see Oakland.

[Lakers4life714]

Yes Mariners have first winning streak of 2004!! And win first series of the year!.

Game 12: Mariners over Texas 4-2 (4-8)

[Mariners in 2006]

Yes Mariners have first winning streak of 2004!! And win first series of the year!.

Game 12: Mariners over Texas 4-2 (4-8)

It was a good win and a good series for the M's (Except for game one) but now the real challenge starts against the A's pitching...

Game One: Mark Redman, M's should win
Game Two: Rich Harden, M's should win
Game Three: Tim Hudson, :(
Game Four: Mark Mulder, :(

Bob Melvin said, "There are 16 10-game increments, it was probable we'd go 2-8 at some point, but those 10 are behind us now.''

Since he said that the M's are 2-0, we just have to wait and see...

[Lakers4life714]

Ya man Garcia is throwin a gem right now, hopefully the bullpen can pull it out for him. Hasegawas warmin up now, I traded him in my MVP dynasty, man was he suckin hehe. Damnit Scott just made an error as we speak with no outs. Oh well go get em M's!

[Mariners in 2006]

Its 1-1 in the Bottom of the 10th right now and Edgar just got intentionally walked...The game should have been 1-0 M's win, but some ******* M's fan grabbed Dye's home run right as Ichiro was about to rob him...So Eddie gets the blown save :cry:

[Mariners in 2006]

What a win last night...I stayed up until Midnight watching that nail bitter...In the 14th the M's win on a "Walk-Off Balk" I love it :D

Tonight: Harden vs Franklin, hopefully we can beat them in 9 this time...

[Lakers4life714]

Haha I know that was awesome, I was up to and I was like wtf what way to end a game haha, even though it was a balk. They are tied right now in the 7th.

[Mariners in 2006]

I Love RAUL!!! :D

Not only did he hit the tying Home Run in the 7th, but he hit the game winning Home Run in the 9th! 4 HOMERS IN 3 GAMES!!! The M's are starting to erupt, just 2 games out of first!!!

[Lakers4life714]

Haha no kidding, they are comin through, just a bad start.

Thank god for the pitching though their hitting is doing well, ok i guess.

Mariners are now 6-8 (I beleive to lazy to look)

[Mariners in 2006]

Well so much for the M's four game win streak, Dye killed them in the 9th and Rhodes (that trader!) shut down the M's to seal the win for the A's...

Standings as of 4/21/04
A's 9-6
Rangers 8-7
Angels 7-8
Mariners 6-9
(What a tough division :shock: )

Anyways hopefully the M's can win tomorrow, 3 out of 4 against Oakland would be nice...But Mulder is pitching...

[Lakers4life714]

Nope they got their asses kicked. Didnt get to see it cause it was a day game and I was in school. Moyer must have gotten pounded again, man this isnt a good sign =/.

[Mariners in 2006]

M's lose again 3-0 and are 6-12 on the year... :cry:

The A's, Rangers and Angels are all tied at the top of the Division at 10-8 while the M's are only 4 games back...The REALLY need to WIN tomorrow in Texas, its getting worse not better... :shock:

[Mariners in 2006]

With the loss yesterday Seattle is the worst team in the American League... :cry:

Why, I dont know...Could it be their hitting? (Yes) Could it be their pitching? (Yes)

AL Standings
Tampa Bay 7-13
Toronto 7-15
Seattle 7-15

MLB Standings
Toronto 7-15
Seattle 7-15
Montreal 5-18

If the Expos pass us, I am selling my Mariners tickets to get tickets to the WNBA's Seattle Storm...

[Ghost_X_51]

The M's are HOT in May and so is ichiro their back baby, and Kicking Yankee Butt, I love it. Ichiro has a 7 game hitting streak. and yankee-killer Edger martinez, hit the 500th double of his career, much love to Mr. Mariner.

[REDSFAN2004]

the mariners will come around man its still early dont get to mad just yet im sure they will make a run sooner or later.

[Mariners in 2006]

What a game, the M's beat the Yanks 6-2 without Boone in the lineup :shock:

The M's have won 5 of their last 7 and hopefully it will continue, tomorrow I am going to the game, I am sitting nine rows up behind third base, right behind A-rod, it will be my fifth game this year 8)

Hopefully it isnt like the last one I went too, I went last Tuesday when they beat the Twins 4-3 in 16 innings, the game wasnt over until midnight, but at least I got my Ichrio Choo-Choo...

[Nomahh]

Lets Go M's kill the Yanks!

[bigjohn17]

All right first off how is spiezio doing. The Angels no pitching. I think their piching better then the M's. Angels have the best bullpen in the Majors then maybe seattle. To be honest I see the al west finishing:

Angels
Rangers
A's
M's

I hope I'm Wrong I would love to Seattle take the Wild card under my Angels. Good Luck with the M's Their just Old.

The Mariners pitching is second best in the AL West, they are just not showing it. The A's pitching is great, M's good, Angels decent, Rangers garbage, I know that doesnt seem that way (just look at the standings) but there are 162 games in a season and 35 have been played...

The Mariners problem is SPEED and CONSISTENCY
Last year they had Cameron, Ichiro, Winn and Guillen in the lineup, all quick, this season our fastest four are Ichiro, Winn, Ibanez and Boone, not fast. The M's have Olerud, Edgar and Spiezio who all only get singles on hits to the wall. With Ichiro/Winn at the 1-2 spot in the lineup in 2003 and Cameron/Guillen at the 6-7 spot the M's would produce. Also, the M's pitching is sucking it up, a great group of guys are not settling down and getting the outs, even the bullpen (#1 in MLB in 2003) is changed for the worst, with Nelson, Rhodes and Bentiez gone and Soriano on the DL the M's have to go with Villone, Taylor, Myers and Hasegawa, not good. We have an awesome closer but lose the lead or cant get enough runs to use him. The M's need speed, bullpen help and good outings from their staff to get back on track.

My 2004 AL West Outlook
Anahiem 95-105 wins
Texas 80-90 wins
Seattle 80-90 wins
Oakland 70-80 wins

[Nomahh]

Angels have the best bullpen in the Majors then maybe seattle.

Wrong. Look at the Sox

[bigjohn17]

Redsox got a good bullpen, but I don't think their better than Anaheim.
Better than Seattle yes.

[GoYanks016]

The best bullpen in the majors is not the Sox or the Angels... It's the Phillies

[bigjohn17]

philly 5 and 4 record Halos 6 and 1. Oh yeah the era will drop. Most of it is from percival.

[bigjohn17]

Yeah Go M's Beat the Yanks. I hate the yankees.

[Ghost_X_51]

that was great to see the M's beat the yankees again, and Ichiro, has his Hitting strike up to 14 Games now. but lets face it the M's need some bats really really bad, we need to make a move before the All star break. are pitching staff, will come around, we just need some hitting. I think that Seattle, should try to get Carlos Beltran, and move winn and some rookie pitching, to get him, because we all know that Kansas City, need's to do something it's geting real bad over there.

Yeah the M's have been talking to KC...

Also there is a trade rumor in the air, KC gets Freddy Garcia, Boston gets Beltran and Seattle gets Damon.

Anyways, even though the M's lost a heartbreaker to the Yankees 2-1 today, Ichiro extended his hitting streak to 15 games...

[Lakers4life714]

Stupid trade for the M's, I hope they dont do that.

Garcia was leading the league in ERA and is also has the least run support in the league. All Damon is is another santa clause. They dont need that trade, very stupid.

I agree, keep Garcia

[GoYanks016]

Wasn't it Seattle gets Damon and Kim? (one of the asian guys who throw upside-down)

But either way, it's still a bad trade for seattle

[Mariners in 2006]

Yeah, Kim was in their too, he just got sent to the Minors I think, he is so much better as a closer...

[Lakers4life714]

Man I almost dont even wanna reply on this thread anymore, the Mariners are lookin horrible. I could hit for their team right now.

[Mariners in 2006]

I know how you feel, although they are up 6-0 right now in the 6th...

Anaheim 26-14
Texas 22-17 (3.5 GB)
Oakland 22-18 (4 GB)
Seattle 13-26 (12.5 GB)

We are only 12.5 Games out of first :roll:

[Ghost_X_51]

well they look good tonight, :D I see a problem, Wilson is are best hitter besides Ichiro, that's not good. but yeah are pitching look's h illa hot right now, we just need more runs like we are putting up tonight. I think it's the luck of Bones, we need him to do commentary, for more of are Games :D let me just add this IChiro, with the Bomb off tha Chain baby :D

[Mariners in 2006]

The M's got shutout tonight by the Tigers 5-0...

But on the bright side, Ichiro got hit number 2000...

[Ghost_X_51]

Ichiro is hitting every thing in MAY, IChiro has raised his AVG 86 points in MAY. with only one hitless Game, and 14 multi hit Games, out of 18, plus he SO, only 3 times this kid is Sick 8) he is killing them out there.

[Ghost_X_51]

this season hurt's I am already waiting for the NEXT. only thing good about this year is Ichiro, and if he can get 200 hits four years in a roll.

[Mariners in 2006]

this season hurt's I am already waiting for the NEXT. only thing good about this year is Ichiro, and if he can get 200 hits four years in a roll.

This season does hurt, but in a way I expected it, just not this bad...

The Mariners needed to bring over Tejada, Guerrero or Pudge, but instead they got rid of Cameron, lost Sasaki and traded off young gun Guillen. I really dislike the Mariners management. Anyways, the bullpen blew a 2-1 lead in the 8th inning tonight after Pinerio pitched 7 strong innings :cry:

Next season I think it will be worse, Edgar already said he will retire, and after this season I am sure Moyer will follow. Plus Olerud is a free agent after this year and the M's dont want him in the future. Rich Aurilia has a one year contract, so if he gets cut we will be in the same boat as last year. Garcia is said to be going elsewhere before the deadline, Spiezio is talking with the Angels and Bret Boone is always hurt. And I haven't even started talking about the Bullpen.

The only consistent player on the M's right now is Ichiro, I really hope the M's get it together or who knows what will happen to this team, I am a M's fan and always will be, even during the bad times. Just look as this as a rebuilding year...

[Ghost_X_51]

we just need some new players that's all, some good power to complement Ichiro. if we had some power hitters Ichiro's hits wouldn't go to waste like they do now, we need new life on this team and we need it now. P.S don't forget Rafael Soriano, is on the DL if he was playing mabey we wouldn't blow 2-1 leads in the 8th da Mn IT.

[Ghost_X_51]

Freddy, pitch a great game one of his best this year, it's also good to see Olerud, geting his HR on, if we could just have a 100 more game's like this we would be OK.

[Mariners in 2006]

Freddy, pitch a great game one of his best this year, it's also good to see Olerud, geting his HR on, if we could just have a 100 more game's like this we would be OK.

If only... :roll: and it still wouldn't be a 116 wins LOL wow we where off tha chain that year DAM N, to bad we couldn't finish that way :cry:

[Ghost_X_51]

The M's have won 2 games in a roll time to do my Happy Dance :D sure it took 12 innings but who cares LOL. Ichiro has reached base safely in 23 straight game's in a roll baby, that my friend is gangsta. did you see Ichiro run out his only base hit in that Cleveland game da mn is he fast!!!!! all J. Jimenez seen was a flash.

[Mariners in 2006]

3 straight wins for the M's and Anaheim, Texas and Oakland all lost, so it was a good day...

By the way Ichiro went 4-5, had a stolen base and a home run...

[Ghost_X_51]

Ichiro was flat out Amazing, he did it real big just a triple from the cycle, that's 24 games he has reached base safely, the M's pitching has been outstanding.

[Ghost_X_51]

:::::BIG Series Alert:::::: M's go up against the historic Boston RedSox, in a series we really need. because if we don't start winning series like we did in Cleveland, it's only going to get worst. and ichiro will try to make it 26 straight game's he has reached base. lord NOOOO not Pedro, he is a Mariner killer, 12-0 against us, we have never beat this guy LOL. no worry's pat borders, is in the lineup to night were ok LOL

[Mariners in 2006]

What a game last night, I was at Safeco right to the left of home plate about 5 rows up and I saw Bill Russell talking with Joe Morgan and Jon Miller. I know that Morgan and Miller were there since it was on ESPN, but I dont know why Russell was there? Anyways, great game, all came down to the Bottom of the ninth, I'm going again in three weeks to the Padres game, same seats :D

Go M's, only 11.5 games back... :roll:

By the way, did anyone know Frank Thomas swings rebar...
http://users.aol.com/jerkemp/rebar-bolts.jpg
While waiting in the On-Deck circle :shock:

[Ghost_X_51]

yep Seattle is making that run, Ichiro is tiht as always, Clint Nageotte, is a stud, so I think it's time 2 make it happen baby :D

javascript:void(playMedia2({w_id:'297270',w:'2004/open/topplays/archive05/050704

[Mariners in 2006]

Yeah Nageotte pitched great tonight, 6 IP, 6 Hits allowed and 8 K's, alot better than what Meche was doing, thats three straight wins, and since Anaheim had the day off, we gained half a game on them. I am not sure how we will do tomorrow and Wenesday though, all we can do is pray to the baseball gods...

Tuesday
Clemens (8-0) vs Pineiro (1-7)

Wenesday
Miller (5-6) vs Garcia (3-4)

M's, 11 games back of the Angels...

[Mariners in 2006]

Well the M's just swept a series for only the second time this year and have won four straight games http://www.vitekweb.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_joy.gif

Now if only they can sweep a good team like Texas, while Anaheim and Oakland beat up on each other...

[StrikeThree]

I've got tickets for the July 19th game against Boston

Can't wait... hopefully by then the Mariners will be back in the race

[Mariners in 2006]

I've got tickets for the July 19th game against Boston

Can't wait... hopefully by then the Mariners will be back in the race

Where do you sit? I've gone to 8 games so far this year and I either sit two rows behind the Right Field wall or two rows behind the Visiting dugout.

Dugout Tics = Company Tickets
Right Field Tics = Ticketmaster
I usually goto 15-25 games a year

I got tickets for Sunday's game against San Diego
Also tickets for Sunday July 25th against the Angels

By the way with Oakland losing their 3rd straight tonight Seattle is only 8 back of first, hopefully they sweep Texas...

[Ghost_X_51]

did any body see the foul ball Bucky Jacobsen, hit, man this dude is strong. he straight killed the ball, he look's like hes going to be a beast, in the majors.

[Mariners in 2006]

did any body see the foul ball Bucky Jacobsen, hit, man this dude is strong. he straight killed the ball, he look's like hes going to be a beast, in the majors.

He hit his second homer in three games today, this guy is going to be good, for the last two games he has been starting over Edgar Martinez. A month ago while he played for Seattle's AAA team he hit a home run in eight straight games, also two days ago he won the AAA Home Run Derby for the thrid time. He averages a Home Run every 4 At-bats and I cant wait to see him Sunday when I goto Safeco to watch the M's play Anaheim...

http://www.buckybackers.com/index.html yep seattle has found their next star, in BJ, not only can this guy just smash the ball, he has a good eye and gets great batter counts. this is the best thing about this season for the mariners... are one bright spot in a very long season, besides Ichiro :D it would have been three HR's in a roll if that monster shot didn't go foul.

[StrikeThree]

Wow that game was awesome.

AND i got a ball..

1-1 then Varitek hits a 3 run homer and alot of fans leave. Get one run in the bottom of 8... and then olivio and edgar hit solo shots off foulke to tie it up.

Boone walk off grand slam off Lesanick in the bottom of 11.

That was a awesome game. Beautiful stadium. As for my tickets like a section over to the right from the right field foul pole

[Ghost_X_51]

Ichiro was 4-5 with 4 SB a record high for Ichi, he would of had 5 if winn, didn't f*** it up. ichiro's Hit streak AT #13 batting 400 in July!

Those arent bad seats. I usually sit in Right Field. How did you get a ball? During batting practice? If so I have gotten 14 balls during batting practice in the last three years, I got a bucket of them in my garage. Sunday I am going to see the Angels, I am sitting five rows up from the field, a little to the left of home plate. Heres the view...

ichiro has gone 4 for 5 two straight days in a row :!:

[Ghost_X_51]

Ichiro is on a #16 game hitting streak, and now has took the lead in hit's over all in the Majors, with 139!!!!! Ichiro is geting close to the record of four 200 hit season in a roll :D

[Mariners in 2006]

Well I was at Safeco today to see the M's 6-2 win. Great pitching by Pineiro, Ichiro got a hit to extend his streak to 17-games, Bucky had another homer, and Bengie Molina lost his bat and it landed 5 rows behind me :shock: , overall good game. Guerrero didnt play which sucked though...

[Bruins4Life]

Why didn't Vlade play? Was he hurt or were they just giving him the day off?

[Mariners in 2006]

Why didn't Vlade play? Was he hurt or were they just giving him the day off?
In Friday's game he got hit in the wrist with a pitch from the M's pitcher, he missed Saturday and Sunday's game, but was expected to return tonight, which he didnt.
After missing two straight games with a bruised wrist, right fielder Vladimir Guerrero is expected to return on Monday against the first-place Rangers, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Damn, I am not a Angels fan but I really enjoys watching Vlade play. I find him to be one of the best sucess stories of the MLB, I heard that during the Expos tryouts he came riding up on the back of a moped, two different shoes on, and torn up clothing, now he is a multi millionair. Plus he is a amazing ball player with one of the best arms in the league, and when he hits a homerun it is usually crushed. Come back soon Vlade!

Sorry to get off topic.

Ichiro Ichiro Ichiro, this guy really does have a magic wand, I have never seen him with such confidence at the plate, he look's like he is on a deferent level than every body else playing right now. this is one of his best month's ever batting .444 AVG in the month of july, with his first 5 hit game... and a chance at 50 hits this month making him the first player in MLB history to do this three times in their career. it's like the league is throwing BP pitchs to IChi right now, he is simply off the chain. oh yea and think god the M's got their first road win in 15 straight road games :(

Yeah I am glad the M's finally won on the road, it took 13 innings, but at least they did it :D . As for Ichiro, he is on a tear, he has 153 hits, 47 away from 200!

oh yea I bet you thought Ichiro, was done after the monster month of july, nope. he is at it again with his second 5 for 5 game, and this one is not a cheap one like the first one of his major league career, it was the real deal. I haven't seen Ichiro this focused since his first year... and even then he wasn't this good.

[Ghost_X_51]

wow Ichiro, is scary good right now batting 688 this month, Ichiro, has 170 hit's so far, he can very easly end this month with more then 200 hits... now that is getting it done. and what is up with John Olerud, this guy couldn't hit the ball off a tee for the mariners, now that he is a yankee he is hitting every thing, F*** that, they leave us and they get good, what's the deal is safco park really that hard to hit in ?
