Haven't been posting much lately, just can't seem to get on any kind of roll. just keep spinning my wheels. win a little, lose a little, rinse, wash and repeat.
I will update my record when I get home from work.
Like a few tonight.
Sea -128
Seattle back at home after a 10 game road trip which started out promising winning the 1st 5 before dropping 5 in a row.
I like the macth-up. Gorzelanny has struggled of late and been crushed in interleague.
here is a little write-up from the web:
The Pirates will take on a Seattle club that swept a three-game set at PNC Park from June 18-20, 2004 in the teams' only meeting.
Tom Gorzelanny (6-4, 3.04 ERA) takes the mound for the Pirates looking for his first win since May 29. The left-hander was 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA in his first 11 starts this season, but is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in three June outings.
Gorzelanny matched a season high by allowing five earned runs in seven innings of a 6-0 loss to Texas on Thursday. He has given up nine runs in 13 1-3 innings over two interleague starts - both Pittsburgh defeats.
Gorzelanny has never faced the Mariners, who are batting .288 against left-handers.
Miguel Batista (7-5, 5.10) will start for Seattle, which has won five of the right-hander's last six appearances. The Mariners were undefeated as Batista went 4-0 in five games - four starts - from May 23-June 10.
Seattle's win streak with Batista on the mound was snapped in a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Batista held the Cubs to one earned run in seven innings, but a throwing error by shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt led to two unearned runs in the fifth.
Batista is 3-5 with a 4.76 ERA in 12 games - eight starts - against the Pirates. He has posted a 2.95 ERA in going 1-2 in four outings against NL opponents this season.
