• Mariners 4, Tampa Bay 5 [box]: A few thoughts. I'm enjoying the completely random breakouts of two-home run games — see Saunders a couple of days ago, and Alex Liddi on Wednesday night —but when will this ever be enough? Why is it so difficult to win? Do we give Figgins one more month and then pull the plug on him? Lookout Landing has the postgame analysis. Next game: Seattle (11-15) vs. Tampa Bay (17-8), 10:10 p.m. PT, ROOT Sports, 6.5 games back.
