I think you were pretty close on everyone, I have a issue with the manager myself. I see to many players first ball swinging when it is clear that the opposing pitcher has control problems. I see Ackley a dead pull hitter and not using the whole park, that is why they are getting him out; pitch him away and he is toast. I see no hitters batting from the right side driving the ball the other way they all try to pull it. These opposing pitchers are looking good with these hitters, watch how they approach these mariner hitters it's almost always away or up then in the dirt. Their a minor league team with a old lead off hitter who is now leaving the box to early, he can't do that like he use to he has lost some hand speed and bat speed and I think he has lost some vision. No adjustments are being made at least not from a viewers perspective. If their not hitting well can't one of them bunt early in the contest followed by another Panella use to do things like that when hitting went south, force the other team to make plays. It's getting beyond hard to watch.

Wait, nevermind. I was holding the newspaper upside down.

That's the first picture of a Happy Mariner I've seen in a long time. Jack has one more year to turn this sinking battleship around, and unfortunately he'll be out. I really think that that would be the wrong thing to do, but as we know with the M's, the wrong thing to do is most often the preferred course of action.

That grades some how make us all feel better for being in last Place. With No hope for the future or ever improving. I feel better know.

Ichiro - "F": This guy has completely fallen off the map; can't hit for average in the 1 hole, can't drive in runs in the 3 hole either. Justin Smoak - "D": YES, he's hit a few homers, but that's all that's keeping him from getting an "F". Miguel Olivo - "D -": Dude's barely hitting over .200 and he's been in the majors for how long? Felix Hernandez - "D+": Is our ace really an ace anymore? What happened to the fastball? Tom Wilhelmson - "A": THIS is the guy who SHOULD have been our representative in the All-star game. NOT that he really deserves to be there, but he's the best of a bad bunch, and he's overachieved this year. Dustin Ackley - "D-": This guy was SUPPOSED to be our high average hitter. Hasn't delivered at all on that. Eric Wedge - "C": Really like the guy and his style, but it hasn't translated into wins or getting the Mariners in any kind of wild card or divisional hunt. Chone Figgins - "C+": Not doing much of anything, BUT he's keeping his mouth shut and that says a lot right now. Could be a real cancer, but instead just keeps cashing in checks with a smile on his face.

I miss kevin's voice on this show where has he gone I haven't heard it in a while.
