  1. Michael Pineda and Dustin Ackley, who will be without a doubt the best AL pitcher and hitter for the next 10 years, are playing together for the first time tonight! And its against the best team in baseball (for one last year at least) the Philadelphia Phillies . Most pumped ive been for a mariners regular season games in a decade. Seems to be the same kind of interest around here for a prospect debuting as it was for Felix and even A-Rod and Griffey. The mariners will spend for one hitter this coming offseason and will be a contender for years to come. And they may even hang in there all year this year. Call me crazy, but im drinking the fucking kool aid. Ackley hitting 2nd and hopefully hitting .300 off the bat will change the lineup massively. Figgins can rot on the bench where he belongs and you add someone like this to the lineup and hot hitters like Brendan Ryan and Adam Kennedy can go down a little bit in the order where they belong, making this look a lot more like a damn near average (gasp) MLB lineup. Almost.

    So basically, come get some bandwagon phillies fans. Enjoy your last season with the best record in baseball. You will lose this series and you will have less wins than the mariners from this day forward thru 2014. Book it.

    Just as a refresher as to how awesome Pineda has been,

    13 starts 82.2 innings 63 hits allowed 80 Ks 23 bbs 1.04 WHIP .208 BAA 2.72 ERA


    and in case you dont know your Ackley,

    2nd pick in the draft after strasburg 2 years ago
    23 yrs old 6-1 185
    was an outfielder but has been playing 2nd base for his time in the Ms farm system
    slow start in Tacoma this year, but his last 43 games ...

    batting .350 2.5 bb:K 7 HR 28 RBI .467 OBP 1.047 OPS


    The future is nowwwwwwwwwwww bitches



























     
  2. Lol @ getting excited about the Mariners.
  3. you mean the team that will win more games than the sawx at least 5 of the next 6 years? from where weve been recently id say thats worth at least a half chub to an Ms fan yes

  4. Got Ackley in a few deeper fantasy leagues, hoping he is a stud, I hear good things. Pineda is in beat mode right now, I'm curious to see if he can keep it up.
  5. Awesome post.. Full chub.

    If you lived in Seattle you would be exited about this also.

    Oh and fuck Chone.
  6. Can't wait for this game tonite... also do you think Ackley will jump right in there in the 2 spot? I kinda think he'll start 7 or 8 off the bat, altho i wouldn't be surprised to see wedge throw him in at 2 right away. I'm lovin Wedge's style for sure... good time to be an M's fan!
     
  7. Figgy is starting to hit.

    I like him...check back at all star break
  8. will be a tough balancing act for playing time between ackley figgins and kennedy and also between carp peguero and cust mixed in there as lots of these guys can be tossed in at DH from time to time
