Mariners: June in Review

11-16. 12 games under .500 for the season. Super.

I'm going to make this quick, because honestly, there isn't much to say other then " this is getting fucking old." Which is true, this whole " we can't hit the ball act" is getting old.


So here are some quick points in bullet fashion:
  • The Justin Smoak experiment might be coming to an end. He is batting .202 right now. He started every game except one this month and managed to put up 2 home runs and 5 rbi's. Oddly enough, he out performed his whole month of June in that Texas game back in May. I understand bad months happen, but he has never really had a good month. So maybe we let him ride out this season and look to upgrade a position which good clubs need good production from.
  • Atleast Chone isn't really playing anymore.
  • Kyle Seager came back to earth this month. He hit a very Smoakean .204. Hopefully he rebounds.
  • I'm not really sure why I called out Justin, you know other then he sucks. Brendan Ryan, and Miguel Olivo do too. Shoot, so do Dustin Ackley and Ichiro lately. This whole team just needs one big HgH shipment, stat.
  • Felix, The King of Diamonds, rebounded from a rough sample size in May and has once again returned to better than everyone else. Feel free to consult his pitching line two nights ago against Boston to confirm http://espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=320628112.
  • I think it's safe to say that Hector Noesi (2-10),  is not good at all. I can't wait to Denny Hultzen takes his place and I forget how to pronounce his last name.
  • Jason Vargas was off to a great start, but must've borrowed underwear from Chone Figgins cuz his last few starts have been horrendous. Look no further then his 30 innings, 25 runs, 11 home run stat line for the month of June. I would say he is a prime canidate to get traded at the deadline, but at this rate... who would want him?
Unless something drastic happens in the next couple weeks, we will be in full fledge Football/ Basketball Olympics mode by the end of next month. Here's praying I'm wrong.
