M's vs. Rangers

Yesterday's game, the first game of the series, though I missed the conclusion of it on TV,
I was impressed with the ability to come back of this year's edition of the Mariners.

I couldn't see Willie B. get a two-run single in the eigth inning rally,
but I think he improved his offence as well as his defensive repertoire.
I didn't know he could play CF, too. Good for him.
And my congratulations go to Jeremy Reed for getting his first basehit, at one of the crucial moments in the game.
Also Raul did a great job hitting that go-ahead homer.

As for today's game, I think Jamie did a good enough job to keep the damage minimun
and Adrian Beltre continued to come through in clutch situations(except for the nineth, unfortunately).
The nineth inning, I don't know if the ball had a funny hop or not,
but Mr. Boone should have at least knocked it down, I think.

M's still have the same tendency to give up runs right after they score.
I could see the Rangers somewhat improved their pitcing staff, despite not having two of their relievers for this series.

Well, for tomorrow's rubber match, I hope Gil will be able to avoid the one inning where he somehow loses his composure.

Too bad for Bobby Madritsch going down on DL. I was expecting for him to have a great season.
Hope he'll come back soon.
