Seattle 4, Oakland 2

The Mariners' trio of Joses all played a key part in the team taking two straight from the defending division champion Oakland Athletics.

Seattle is having its way with the A's so far this season -- and oh what a change from last year.

Jose Lopez hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning, Jose Vidro had three hits and drove in a run, and the Mariners beat the A's for the fourth time in five meetings with a 4-2 victory Thursday.

Revenge time on Washburn, who embarassed us last time. Bummer that Swisher is out of the lineup though... Piazza needs to have a good game.

damn the A's are making washburn look like he is johan

the M's add another run 1-0 already seemed like a blow out 2-0 seems impossible.

Another awful showing... we make Washburn look like an ace.

the bp blows another game...

This team needs a shakeup, and fast...
