Welcome to Seattle, Chris Shelton

Found July 09, 2009 on U.S.S. Mariner:
PLAYERS: Chris Shelton,  Alex Cintron,  Jason Vargas
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners,  Washington Nationals

Seattle_mariners_photo_e2b9
The Rainiers used Chris Shelton at DH tonight, then pinch hit for him in the 9th inning (h/t Ryan Divish). That’s because they didn’t want him to get hurt in his farewell to Tacoma (he’ll be replaced down there by newly signed Alex Cintron). He’ll join the Mariners roster tomorrow, with Jason Vargas [...]-- This post came from: U.S.S. Mariner, and is copyright by the authors.

Via SoDo Mojo  |  July 10, 2009
With the Mariners down 1-0, Franklin Gutierrez hit a three run home run  in the bottom of the eighth inning, to permanently give the Mariners the lead.

Seattle Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik again declines to quell Yuniesky Betancourt trade rumors

Via Seattle Times  |  July 10, 2009
Ran into Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik, face-to-face this time, as he was coming out of the elevator post-game. We'd talked earlier on the phone, as you know, about Yuniesky Betancourt being scratched. It was just Zduriencik and myself this time, for a few moments. He was smiling, but again, when I asked whether we could just attribute this scratch of Betancourt to an injury flare...

I Don’t Miss Adam Jones One Bit

Via Tirico Suave  |  July 09, 2009
There, I’m glad I’ve finally said that in a public forum. Franklin Gutierrez is tremendous. And it’s not just me saying this 20 minutes after he hit a game winning three run homer with two outs in the eighth inning. Smarter, more researched and respected blogs are gushing as well, and they have charts and [...]

Wakamatsu keeping the faith

Via Seattle Times  |  July 08, 2009
The Mariners have had some tough losses this season --- the back-to-back last at-bat defeats in Texas come readily to mind. Hard to imagine a worse one than this, though, blowing a three-run lead largely due to self-inflicted wounds in the ninth inning. But Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu was resolute afterward that this one won't break his team. "These guys have done an awful lot...

Play it again: Orioles 5, Mariners 3

Via Baltimore Sun  |  July 08, 2009
NOT HIM Mariners lefty Garrett Olson, deemed expendable by the Orioles, who traded him this offseason for Felix Pie, entered the game in the seventh inning with the bases loaded, no outs and his team leading by two runs. He fanned Nick Markakis and got Ty Wigginton to hit into a double play.

Rangers, Mariners scoreless after three

Via dallasnews.com  |  July 09, 2009
Felix Hernandez has allowed only one a hit, a one-out single by Hank Blalock in the second, but Tommy Hunter pitched around three singles and a walk as the Rangers and Mariners enter the fourth inning in a scoreless tie. The Mariners threated in the second as their first two hitters reached, but Hunter retired the next three. Elvis Andrus made a nifty stop, turn and throw to second...

Freddy Sanchez: Intriguing Acquisition For Seattle Mariners, Betancourt Traded

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 10, 2009
It is no secret that the Pittsburgh Pirates have been looking to unload their lone All-Star, 2B Freddy Sanchez. The 31 year old is one of the few bright spots on a franchise which has not had a winning season in 17 seasons. The Twins, Giants and now the Seattle Mariners have all been rumored to be zeroing on the three time All star.  It was no coincidence that on the same night...
