And the MARINERS are in the WIN COLUMN! Jeff Weaver was once again, impressive, in the Mariners 7-5 win over the White Sox tonight. He followed a complete game last outing with a 7.2 inning effort tonight giving up just four earned runs, nine hits, and only walking one. The fourth run came on, wouldn't you know it, another homerun off of George Sherrill in relief, this one to Jim Thome with a runner on. The offense tonight was solid again pounding out thirteen hits. The only Mariner without a hit tonight was Ichiro Suzuki, who was 0 for 3 with a walk. Vidro, Ibanez, Beltre, Lopez, and Betancourt each had two hits, and runs were knocked in by Vidro (1), Guillen (2), Ibanez (1), and Johjima (1). Chicago's offense collected only six hits from three hitters. Jim Thome blasted homeruns nineteen and twenty of the season during this game and drove in three. J.J. Putz recorded his thirty-sixth save of the year and the Mariners gain a game on the Angels and are now two back in the division. The Yankees won tonight, so we remain a half game up on them in the wildcard.

Looks like Thome is offcially the one guy we'll throw the ball down the middle to so he can kill us this series (we seem to have one guy every series)...He should have have three HRs tonight but Ibanez made an awesome catch...Let's just hope Sherrill has realized that his fastball is indeed hitable and that he shouldn't throw it down the middle to the first batter he faces every time...The batter might just go yard on you like they've done the last two nights...
