The Seattle Mariners are rolling into Dodger Stadium tonight sitting under .500, a tough pill to swallow for anyone who remembers how close we were to a World Series last season. After being just one win away from baseball’s biggest stage, seeing our M’s stumble into Los Angeles having lost four straight games entering Sunday and racking up 10 losses in their last 14? Man, it stings.
The Road Trip Misery Just Won’t Quit
It’s not just a rough patch, folks, it’s a full-blown road trip nightmare. Our M’s haven’t even won a road series since way back on May 25-27 when they took on the A’s. Seriously? That’s almost two months without showing any consistent fight away from home. Right now, our road record sits at a brutal 21-31. That 7-1 drubbing by the Texas Rangers just before this Dodgers series? Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of play that’s got us all pulling our hair out.
Tonight’s Showdown in Chavez Ravine
Tonight, the boys face the Dodgers, who are finally back home after a long 16-day stretch themselves. They’ve been through the All-Star break and a three-city, nine-game road trip, so they’ll be fired up to play in front of their home crowd. It’s Mariners versus Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, first pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. PT. If you’re not at a buddy’s place watching SportsNet LA, you can catch the game on AM 570 for the English broadcast or KTNQ 1020 AM if you prefer Spanish.
This isn’t just another game. This is a chance to show some grit, to break this losing streak, and maybe, just maybe, start turning this season around. The Emerald City is watching, Mariners. Let’s get it done.
