Tampa Bay (29-26) @ Seattle (28-27)

[Jeff23]

what the **** is the reason to put in Wright? Goddamn it!!! 3 straight hits WTF

[Jeff23]

this is hard to watch right now.

[TTown]

Ugh, Wright did not have it today. He got tagged, hard. A 5-3 lead has become a 6-5 deficit in the 8th...

[TTown]

ADAM KENNEDY WITH THE ANSWER!

All tied up!

[TTown]

3-run bomb by Olivo, we're up 9-6!

No doubt about that one.

[Jeff23]

OLIVOOOO!!! thats my guy!!! up 9-6 please M's dont mess this up...

[Sweezo]

It's been a hell of a game so far. Hey, even Figgins just got a hit!

[TTown]

Slow down, Halman! 3rd hit of the day...

Wow. I know its only one game, but this Halman kid looks legit. A young, disciplined hitter with nice mechanics that has power to the opposite field? Yes, please.

Thank God for Miguel Olivo. He saved me from being depressed for the rest of the night. Eric Wedge is still a complete moron.

[Jeff23]

Halman is awesome!



loving this game.. except for the wright allowing three-straight hits part.

exactly. I said yesterday that i desperately want a guy like Chavez for this team... and there comes Halman the next game

Great game for him today at the plate, but let's not go crazy here...just two years ago Halman led all of the minor leagues in strikeouts. He's got a lot of power and more experience than a guy like Peguero, but he's also known to be a hacker.

well, i'm on that Halman bandwagon.

[Bulltalk]

Jesus effing Christ! Who would have thought that Texas would head into Cleveland (who had like the best record in baseball) for a 4 game series and sweep them? Meanwhile, we win 3 out of 4 in our own 4 game series against a decent Tampa Bay team at home, and we drop a game to the Rangers.

That's harsh.

[TTown]

BIG homestand! I don't want to 'just' get over .500 here, I'd like to end the Tampa series 3-4-5 games over and really respond to the challenge of being a legitimate contender in the West and taking care of some good teams at home.

31-28 after the homestand, winning every series. I'd say we responded.

[Zyme]

Man, it is weird to actually be a winning team.

This is fun to have a team I can root for to win, not playing to gain draft positions.
