    MARINERS +118 is GOLD. This line is SILLY

    Mariners should be favored. Period.

    No way in Hell should Colby Lewis be favored over Felix Hernandez.

    Yeah I know the Mariners cant hit for shit, and I know the Bullpen sucks nuts, but last night Cliff Lee went all 9 innings and the bullpen got a night off.

    And this Rangers offense isnt the Rangers offense from years past. The Ranger offense is pretty bad.

    Colby Lewis, 30 walks, 3.62 ERA, only going 6 innings per start. No way this guy should be favored over Felix.


    ---- Mariners have played like Dog Shit and they are 7 games out --------

    Dont forget about this team just yet.

    Not to say you are wrong. BUT...how do you factor in C. Lewis' dominant performances vs. SEA? It appears as though you don't.

    Every pitcher has had dominate performances against Seattle. I said their offense sucks nuts. Still, their offense is way better than what it has been showing and Felix will shut the Rangers offense down.

    Once this Mariner offense starts hitting like I know its capable of, then the fact that they have 2 of the top 10 pitchers in baseball, and perhaps 3 of the top 25. That fact will make this team the favorite if the offense can just become average.

    I dont give Lewis credit for dominating this offense, as every pitcher has so far. That becomes less and less likely as he faces them again because he is not a top tier pitcher liek Hernandez

    I guess you haven't seen the mariners line up .It looks like a minor league team.BTW the rangers are 9-1 at home with Lewis on the hill.

    The Mariners starting lineup today has average BA of .262. The Rangers is .264.

    And for some reason you think that team BA is the best way to judge an offense? You're about 15 years behind the curve.

    No I never said that. You said that. I said the main reason I like this team is their amazing starting rotation. He said they had a minor league offense when in fact they probably have a better offense than the Rangers.

    Hernandez gave up five runs, eight hits and four walks in 4 1-3 innings of a 6-3 home loss to Texas on May 1.Or is that meaningless?and lol at seattle's offense being better than the rangers.
