Game 69, Mariners at Athletics: Not So Nice

Marco Gonzales Vs. James Kaprelian, 6:40pm

The M’a fell to ten games under. The offense is in crisis-mode. The once impregnable fortress of a bullpen is in tatters. It’s a rough patch for our Seattle Mariners, but at least they get to face Oakland, a perennial power that took itself out of the running quite successfully this offseason, trading nearly all of their star position players in exchange for exciting young talent with questionable hit tools. I’ve said frequently that even as an M’s fan, I just don’t know how to BE an Oakland fan, but the past twenty years remains a fascinating comparison of depressing styles.
