I am getting really pissed off... like REALLY pissed off at the way our offense continues to suck.  Our pitchers pitch their asses off and one little mistake means they take home the loss.  In our last six losses we've scored a total of FIVE RUNS!  Tonight, all the scoring came via home runs, and unfortunately all we got was a solo shot from Kennedy in the 4th.  The Braves got two monster homers, one from McCann, their star catcher, in the 1st... and a 2 run homer by rookie Freeman in the 7th as we lost 3-1.  Bedard picked up yet another loss while producing another quality start.  You can't ask for much more from our pitchers. They keep us in it, our offense just doesn't produce and hasn't for a couple of weeks.

Their rookie closer, Kimbrel, had NASTY stuff.  Just, nasty! He picked up his 21st save of the year.   Totally fooled Smoak and Ackley.

I had a Turkey Crepe again because it was still $1 off.  It was very good, taking out the cheese improved it 200%! 

The attendance was 25,467 with a very vocal and quite prominent Atlanta contingent.  I didn't realize they had so many  "followers".  It wasn't until McCann's homer that I noticed how many of them there were.  I swear, must've been a third of the crowd!  But, I guess after winning 14 straight division titles you earn some fans.  At least they weren't obnoxious.

Roof was closed, scored for the sixth straight game.  The Mariners dropped back under .500 again at 39-40 and are now 9-9 when I attend.
