If we could stretch out baseball season just more day, congratulations to World Series Champion Jamie Moyer.

You can't get nearly enough distance or velocity with a Starbucks cup.

Not sure we've ever seen a win for which the credit belongs so overwhelmingly to the defense. For most of the game, the Seahawks' defensive line was able to get pressure with only four rushers. By establishing that, they were able to drop guys back into coverage, which led to the two pick sixes.

Vitals: Gregory Alan Maddux, 41 yo RHP. Born in San Angelo, Texas. 6-0, 180. 336-205, 3.07 career. 3-2, 3.20 in 2007. $10,000,000 salary.

Vitals: Kelvim Jose Escobar, 31 yo RHP. Born in La Guaira, Venezuela. 6-1, 230. 87-84, 4.20 career. 4-1, 2.21 in 2007. $9 million salary.

The two winningest Mariner pitchers ever, Jamie Moyer and Randy Johnson, start against each other today. Moyer had 145 wins as a Mariner, Johnson had 130. Combined, the two pitched 3932 innings as Mariners.

Mariners franchise wins leader Jamie Moyer, who is apparently as discardable as a day-old croissant, beat the Cubs last night and became the oldest Phillie pitcher to win a game (Moyer's 43).

The last time Jamie Moyer was involved in a trade, it was almost a gift to the M's. They got their all-time winningest pitcher in franchise history (145), the Red Sox got 2 1/2 years of the execrable Darren Bragg.

Chim Chim Cheree! The Mariners finished a three-game sweep of the hapless Diamondbacks last night, scoring two runs off Arizona closer Jorge Julio in the 9th for a 3-2 win.

Subject: Re: Friday night

Eddie Guardado didn't cotton to being removed as Mariner closer, the P-I reports today. Apparently he's been sulking, and Jamie Moyer coralled him for a private chat over the weekend. The mano-a-mano preceded a successful inning against Los Angeles. Everyday Eddie thinks it was a turning point.

After shitting the bed in the 9th inning last night (bases loaded, nobody out, down two runs, and the "heart of the order" went down 1-2-3) and wasting another great start by Jamie Moyer, the Mariners fell to 3.5 games out of first place.

We guarantee that sometime during this week's crucial series against Oakland, Dave Niehaus will employ the phrase "house of horrors" to describe McAfee Coliseum.

As the Mariners continue to stagger through the second week of the season our optimism following the 3-1 start has dropped a bit, okay a huge bit. We may need to take a break tonight since we have spent the last few games with our head in our hands.

The Mariners roster is almost set. Jose Lopez won the second base job, as expected. Longshot bench aspirant Roberto Petagine made the team with a hot spring.

Hot on the heels of the Kenji Johjima signing (which will, mark our words, end up being the most underpublicized but important free agent signing in all of baseball this winter), the Mariner corporate stiffs are busy trying to shanghai other talented baseball players into service on the U.S.S. Last Place.

We don't know what the most scarring experience of your early 20s was-- a disastrous relationship, a lengthy illness, a deep body massage from these guys--but ours was suffering through the late innings of each and every 1997 Seattle Mariners game, as the washouts and has-beens the team collected for its bullpen found new and inventive methods of losing games.

We've announced the season's demise before, but, after losing 7 of 10 on their post-All Star Game road trip, the Mariners are officially done. The lights are out, the door's closed, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jello is jiggling, as Chick Hearn would say.

New Mariner Richie Sexson hit two home runs, Jamie Moyer pitched 5.2 strong innings, and the bullpen was perfect as the M's won on Opening Day. Today Gil Meche faces the Twins' Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana at 7:05. The game will be televised on KSTW (Channel 11). Buy tickets.
