The Rainiers took care of business in Game 2 with a power display, and now, this is it. Should they fail, tomorrow will be it. Should they fail again, then Sunday will be it. Really it. Sunday would be the most it. With luck, the series will not come down to a decisive Game 5, because that would be too much it.
Taking the hill tonight for the good guys: Yusmeiro Petit, who isn't PJ Walters. Taking the hill tonight for the bad guys: PJ Walters, who is PJ Walters. On a scale from Is PJ Walters to Isn't PJ Walters, Petit therefore has a clear advantage, and hopefully he's able to build off that and have a strong outing. We don't need this to come down to the next guy in the rotation. I don't know who the next guy in the rotation is, but this is PCL baseball in the middle of September, so he probably isn't very good.

Mariners Baseball!

It feels odd to not have already given up on this game.
The Rainiers actually have the ability to score 3 runs in the next 8 innings. We can still win this!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Meaningful baseball!
flashbeak - September 17, 2010
Fuck Wonderbread.
Franz is my preferred bread.

Ackley dinger!

SeaKoala - September 17, 2010
That is actually hilarious, now that I remember the name of that creature.
How it slipped past me on first glance, I have no idea. I’m the biggest SW nerd I know.
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Woo tie ballgame!
Solo homers!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
MORE DINGERS!
w00tah - September 17, 2010
Kablooey!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Woo! Non-solo homers!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
This team is like, the exact opposite of the Mariners...
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Entertaining to watch/listen?
Scores runs?
Has interesting non-Felix players?
w00tah - September 17, 2010
Yes, yes, and yes.
Hits home runs. Wins games. Makes playoffs. Not the worst team in their league. Etc., etc., etc….
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Very well may be the best team in their league...
flashbeak - September 17, 2010
Mangini defense.
Face of disappointment.
w00tah - September 17, 2010
Mangini bat.
Mild smile.
flashbeak - September 17, 2010
Do it guys
Jeff Sullivan - September 17, 2010
Ugh
Jeff Sullivan - September 17, 2010
Has anyone compiled a list of guido/bro professional baseball players?
w00tah - September 17, 2010
BRAWL!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
aww...
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Dingermania!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Aww nuts.
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Is something wrong with Cortes and Leuke?
Why aren’t they in the game? I do not understand it.
Coug1990 - September 17, 2010
Because Paredes and Patterson need playoff experience too!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Saving them for extra innings.
Gotta keep the game interesting!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Yeah, it has to be something stupid like that
They had a two run lead with only nine outs to go. They had an off day, so they are both rested. Two innings is nothing for one of them with the Championship on the line. As I said, I do not understand the decision of not putting in two of the best relievers in the entire system in that situation.
Coug1990 - September 17, 2010
Everyone in the Rainier lineup has stuck out except Greg Halman.
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
IRONY
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Only two Redbirds that haven't struck out also...
Petit and Walters both struck out 7 in 5 innings.
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Hmmm....
Patterson still in?
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Okay, nevermind.
Still no Lueke or Cortes though.
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Jeff Dominguez?
msb - September 17, 2010
Haha, godammit.
He gets the highest leverage at-bat!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Why was he pinch-running?
Is Tugger really that slow?
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
Aw come on
Joe Metro - September 17, 2010
That was sadly familiar.
msb - September 17, 2010
Another Tie!
Just got here, wow, these guys are not terrible!
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
Wow, go Baldwin.
Joe Metro - September 17, 2010
Halman still avoids striking out!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Lueke warming up!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Finally!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
YAYYYYY
Joe Metro - September 17, 2010
Best of 5, is this IT?
If we win tonight?
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
Yep!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
You misspelled "when".
wazzu93 - September 17, 2010
Yeah, I misspelled
WHEN… Though I am a mariners fan, so my celebrations are always tentative…
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
ROLL!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Run away with it!
At this point, we don’t even need Lueke or Cortes! It’s amazing watching a team that actually scores runs!
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
WOOO Rainiers!
Just 3 more outs to go.
Bottom 11th, 10-6 Tacoma.
Slica - September 17, 2010
Sweeet!!!!!!
Just close it out.
Coug1990 - September 17, 2010
Not quite over yet.
Memphis has their best hitters due up. God theyre annoying with their barrage of singles tonight.
Slica - September 17, 2010
<3
SeaKoala - September 17, 2010
Lueke!
kennerdoloman - September 17, 2010
Gets the Save?
no wait more than 3 runs… Umm Looks good for the organization so people can shut the hell up about his past transgressions?
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
Never said anything about them.
kennerdoloman - September 17, 2010
Cuntpear.
kennerdoloman - September 17, 2010
I'm gonna be so pissed if Lueke screws this up.
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
He is well on his way!
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
Throw strikes Lueke!
This is the reason I preferred you over Cortes!
Slica - September 17, 2010
C'mon Lueke.
On the plus side, he walked the first man on 4 pitches in the deciding game of the semi-finals.
marc w - September 17, 2010
Double play!
One out away!
marc w - September 17, 2010
DOUBLE PLAY
ONE TO GO!
RAINIERS RAINIERS RAINIERS
Slica - September 17, 2010

kennerdoloman - September 17, 2010
Curto is a little excited
msb - September 17, 2010
He got tickets to Matador21. I would be too.
marc w - September 17, 2010
Oh, that's why he walked him...
To put a guy on base for the DP!
Lueke likes DP (double plays…)
ambrosia2112 - September 17, 2010
Oh that is just awful.
nemo1 - September 17, 2010
CHAMPIONS! (of the pcl)
YYYYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
marc w - September 17, 2010
Ooops damn it Mangini.
marc w - September 17, 2010
Two errors weren't enough, Matt?
marc w - September 17, 2010
Just trying for a little drama
msb - September 17, 2010
4 run lead? 2 outs?
Not a ton of drama, but hey, whatever.
marc w - September 17, 2010
Soon!
ThundaPC - September 17, 2010
Ugh
Lueke is all over the place. And a single to Mangini.
Here comes the guy I was most worried about—-lucky for us he cant plate anything more than 2 here.
Slica - September 17, 2010
RAINIERS WIN!
SeaKoala - September 17, 2010
Backwards K for the win!
marc w - September 17, 2010
