There's a lot of action to cover and I'm on the clock. Fortunately, i can give you line stats for each game, and will look to fill in with recaps later tonight. J at Mariner Minors does have me covered for one: he was at Everett's home opener and has an excellent write-up that I'll direct you to for that game.
On to a bunch of stats that will be accompanied in a few hours by a full wrap-up!

VENEZUELA~! The VSLMs and the rest of the VSL always take Sunday off.
Dominican: DSL Mariners 4, DSL AthleticsDos 1
DSLMs: 14-4... DSLA2s: 4-6
(League: 231/337/321... 3.71 ERA)
Henry Perez: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 walks, 6 K
Felix Bautista: 3 IP, 2 H, 3 K
Marbin Beltre: 2-4, R, walk, 2 K
Mario Flores: 2-4
Ramon Morla: 1-4, RBI, K
Victor Ozuna: 2-4, triple, 2 RBI
So in returning from their absence, in case anyone was wondering, the AthleticsDos are still bad.
AZL: Padres 5, Mariners 2
(League: 244/348/380... 4.18 ERA)
(2007 team or M's acquisition method in parentheses) Fray Martinez: 4 IP, 5 H, 4 ER (3 HR), 5 walks, 6 K (DSLMs... converted infielder)
Yao Wen Chang: 3 IP, 1 H, 3 walks, 3 K (international signee from Taiwan)
Richard Ortiz: 1 IP, 1 H, (1 R) 0 ER, 2 walks (Peoria)
Jeroen de Haas: 1 IP, walk (international signee from Holland)
CF Terry Serrano: 0-4, K (VSLMs)
SS Gabriel Noriega: 0-4 (international signee)
3B Jharmidy De Jesus: 0-4, K (international signee)
1B Alfredo Mateo: 0-3, walk, 2 K (Peoria)
LF Joel Mendez: 1-3, R, walk, 2 SB (DSLMs)
RF Robert Rodriguez: 3-4, R, RBI, K (DSLMs)
DH Jarrett Burgess: 0-4, 2 K (6th rd 2008)
C Emmanuel Familia: 2-3, RBI (DSLMs)
2B Donnie Jobe: 0-3 (44th rd 2008)
In the first look we got of a lot of interesting young international signees (Noriega and De Jesus were huge offseason acquisitions)... game one was mostly underwhelming, but these are kids, and they'll adjust.
Rk+: Elizabethton 10, Pulaski 2
(League: 262/341/393... 4.47 ERA)
Fabian Williamson: 3.1 IP, 7 H, (7 R) 6 ER (3 HR), walk, 2 K

Michael Renfree: 2 IP, 2 K
Javier Martinez: 1 IP, walk
Brandon Fromm: 1-2, double, R, RBI, walk, K
Bennett Billingsley: 1-3, double, RBI, K
For a good recap of this game, I'll direct you to J at Mariner Minors, as he actually not only got to go to the home opener in Everett, but got to watch from the press box! Great stuff, and he's got some insight into the seemingly ridiculous night that Brett Lorin had. Go check it out.

Seeing Elizabethon in these recaps brings back memories...
I actually have some relatives that live in Elizabethton, TN and many years ago, I went to see an Elizabethton Twins game. They basically play in a glorified high school stadium that’s kinda similar to ballpark in Everett only probably a little nicer (at least when I went there it was). It’s nice to see that nearly 17 years after I saw a game there, the Twins still have them as an affiliate.

. . . horrible, horrible memories
I cannot believe it came from the same guy who made Almost Famous.

That movie got a bad rap
Cameron Crowe has never really made a bad film. Elizabethtown wasn’t his best, sure, but the whole scrapbook road trip thing at the end really redeemed a lot of the movie for me.

It might have been a good four-and-a-half minute Tom Petty music video
which of course would mean no dialogue or acting (at least of the line reading variety).
Honestly, it was one of the most painful movies I have ever watched.

There's the Greg Halman we know and love.
