Useful factoid:

The Mariners have been mathematically eliminated from the 2008 playoffs.

“If I was a manager, and my pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would have some unpleasant words with that pitcher.”

If I was a manager and the opposing pitcher hit Cairo in consecutive plate appearances, I would give him $20 and ask him to do it again.

useless factoid: apparently San Diego, Tampa Bay & Florida have had no player hit for the cycle.

5 for 6, 5 runs, 3 RBI, and the cycle. Congrats Adrian!

Also good to see Sean Green pitch well (3 IP, 0 R) after some tough outings.

Finally, I hope for Johjima’s sake his hand is ok…but it wouldn’t be the worst thing if he had to go on the 15 day DL…

Postgame: Beltre said he didn’t know he had the cycle until the 3rd base umpire congratulated him asked if he wanted the ball. Beltre said something like “Thanks…for what?”

HA!

63 – I suppose. With the Rangers, how can you tell?

If it was two different pitchers, I’d lock them both in their lockers.

OK, Beltre, get a 6th hit!

Beltre just needs a Grand Slam to go from Totally Awesome to EPIC!.
