Other than the creepy-looking Jason Vargas pitching a solid game for five innings, giving up just one home run to former Spokane Indian Chris Davis of the Texas Rangers, the Mariners stank it up in a 7-1 loss. Here's how not to win a baseball game:(1) Have absolutely no run support. Four hits against the Texas Rangers of the Wiffle Arena Ball League? Seriously?
(2) Have your "bullpen" come in for "relief." I would imagine that Mariner fans react to somebody from the bullpen coming out the same way Civil War Soldiers did when surgeons came to lop off a limp.
They've now lost eight of their last ten games and the "Improbable Dream" of 2009 is just that at the moment.
