Till I collapse I’m spilling these raps long as you feel em

Till the day that I drop you’ll never say that I’m not killing them

Cause when I am not then I am stop pinning them

And I am not hip-hop and I’m just not Eminem.

There you go SNydro hopefully this works because in the time that it took me to remember the opening lyrics to “Til I Collapse,” (a very underrated Em song) the Tigers scored a run off of Silva on a CArlos Guillen RBI single.

So hopefully the Eminem

I’m back covering a game, so that’s not a good thing. I think in the last 24 games I’ve covered, the Mariners have won two.

2-for-24?

That’s kind of like Richie’s recent run of hitting. Maybe that’s why he is out of the line-up for the third straight game, which might be a good thing since the Mariners won the last two with him on the bench.

Manager John McLaren said he’s going with the hot hand, meaning that Miguel Cairo is playing first and not Sexson, who’s

Here’s the pitching matchups for the Detroit series:

Friday – RHP Silva (3-2, 5.14) vs. vs. LHP Robertson (3-3, 5.88), 7:10 p.m.

Saturday – RHP Hernandez (2-5, 3.60) vs. RHP Verlander (2-7, 5.16), 12:55 p.m.

Sunday – RHP Batista (3-3, 5.98) vs. LHP Rogers (6-4, 5.88), 1:10 p.m.

SCOUTING REPORT
Sweeping the Mariners last week in Detroit didn’t exactly propel the Tigers onward and upward. Since outscoring Seattle 30-14 in a three-game series the Tigers have lost two out of three to the Minnesota Twins and two out of three to the Los Angeles Angels.

The Mariners rack up a series win against the the defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox Wednesday with a 1-0 victory. And, since Peter Haley and John Froschauer went through all the trouble to make some photos, I thought I’d share them.

First of all, I must be a jinx. I left in the fifth with the Mariners up 1-0 and they won. If I had stayed, they probably would have lost 10-1. Anyway, thanks for your patience so I could get some time off and some fastpitch softball in.

Here’s some notes from the Mariners media staff

RED SOX NOTES:

&bull Tim Wakefield tossed a complete game, 1 run on 4 hits, while striking out 8 in 8.0 innings. The 8 strikeouts set a new season high and are the most since he struck out 8 on

First of all, I want to thank Don for covering the game last night, and Todd for tonight. The few sort-of days off have been refreshing.

John McGrath offers up a few reasons for the Mariners to maintain hope for success this season in his latest column.

Anyway….

Jeff Clement got hurt last night’s game against the Fresno Grizzlies. It doesn’t seem to be anything too serious, but he took a foul ball off the ankle. You can read about it in this story..

I’m firing up the Jeff Clement Watch, not because I

Guess who’s back? Back again. Shady’s back, tell your friends. …

Gotta love quoting some old Eminem…

Yep, I’m back, well sort of, I’m actually not covering the game tonight. That honor goes to our Coug/golf writer Todd Milles. I’m actually up here doing a little work, but will be sneaking away from the game a little early, so no game thoughts from me tonight. I’m not getting lazy on you, I asked for a few days off to recover from the road trip. But I’ll be back full strength for the Tigers series and the Angels
