Game Eighty: We Droppeth Two Of Three (Hopefully)

Today's Independence Day game against the Mariners was another gut punching loss, this time 3-2 in the regulation 9 frames. Those pesky Mariners, who are like Marines, except with an "R", fought back from a 2-0 deficit, then rallied in the top of the 9th. With Sensei Saito on the hill, Ken Griffey Jr. worked himself a walk. With one out, Ryan "Islets of" Langerhans walked as well, sending pinch runner Wladimir Balantien to second. Kenji Jojima also walked, loading the bases. Chris Woodward then knocked a weak little fly just beyond the drawn in infield for a single to score Balantien, who is so dumb he can't even spell his own name. Trailing 3-2, old friend David Aardsma, who is the first major leaguer, throughout history, alphabetically, worked a 1-2-3 inning for yet another loss.
