vs. Mariners 8/3

[LA2]

We struggle with another sub .500 team AND we miss their two best pitchers in this series. Not good.

That's the thing--not facing King Felix and Iwakuma may end up not making a diff.

Meanwhile Peavy got his first Sux win

[Malike]

We just got served!

[WEAVERMAN]

Doesn't do near as well outside of Seattle.

That's true, but the way we're going on this homestand, just 4-4 if we lose tonight, when we needed better, I'm ready for anything.

Will myers walk off for Tampa.

I just dont understand how everyone can seemingly hit these guys at will and we can't...Saunders will four hit us tomorrow.

True, and I am amazed at how Seattle's hitters are hammering our pitching as bad as anything I have seen all season. All of their LH hitters are killing us. They all look like George Brett hitting in his heyday.

Meanwhile Peavy got his first Sux win

Tampa Bay wins in 10, Yankees on top, Cleveland wins...we are not going anywhere.

[WEAVERMAN]

We need to get hot, very hot, sooner than later. Just 51 games remaining.

Embarrassing... ground we made up last night. GONE. This team is going nowhere.. too inconsistent.

[TonySoprano]

We lose to a starter with an ERA of 7.25

[TouchemAll]

man the O's sure have a knack for making Sub .500 clubs look like world beaters at times

These are the teams WE MUST beat to get to OCT Gotta take the series tomorrow afternoon.

[WEAVERMAN]

I know SEA is hot, but good pitching should defeat good hitting. We're not pitching well enough. Not even close on some nights. Tillman's and Miguel's recent performances have not helped.

[Lawlbringer]

Gotta be able to sweep these bad teams. Yes, they can hit, but they are under .500 for a reason. Right now, our pitching is worse than theirs which is pretty bad.

Boston/Tampa can sweep these scrubs at home. That's why it's between them for the division. If we can't rack up wins vs. these types of teams this month we will finish with less than 90 wins.

This team has just been too inconsistent to really get on a real roll. Max 5 game win streak once says it all. Let's hope it changes real quick.
