The scoring began in the top of the second, when with runners on second and third, Scott Rolen hits an RBI base hit. The runner from second would be gunned down at home to make it only 1-0. Then, The Mariners tie it up on an Ordonez RBI single with runners on second and third, 1-1 now.

But then, in the bottom of the third, the Snakes come back: Jhonny Peralta gets a two-RBI double with runners on 2nd and 3rd to take the lead, and then Ivan Rodriguez gets a double of his own to make it 4-2. Then, in the next inning, Reed Johnson gets an RBI ground out with runners o 1st and 3rd. Then, in the top of the fifth, Morneau gets an RBI ground out of his own with the bases loaded to make it 5-3. And then, Aubrey Huff gets a two-RBI base hit to tie it up at 5. Then, Pablo Ozuna hits a go-ahead base hit to make it 6-5. That would be the end of the day for Jeremy Guthrie. And then, PPFan delivers an RBI base hit of his own to make it 7-5. Then, in the bottom of the fifth, Corey Hart would get an RBI double with runners on second and third to tie the lead at 7.
The Mariners would end up taking the lead in the top of the sixth on a Huff base hit, 8-7. The Mariners extend their lead to two in the seventh. The Snakes would get one run back in the next frame from a Sexson base hit. But that's all either team would get in this slugfest, as the M's win, 9-8.

APRIL IN REVIEW
The Snakes had a mediocre 11-17 April. Not a very good inaugural month.

AL Monthly Honors:

Player of the month:
C. Pena of the Detroit Tigers
.362, 7 HR, 40 RBI
Pitcher of the month:
Sabathia of the White Sox
5 W, 1.77 ERA, 43 K
Rookie of the month:
PPFan of the Mariners
.324, 2 HR, 6 RBI

NL Monthly Honors:
Player of the month:
W. Salas of the Dodgers
.409, 3 HR, 30 RBI
Pitcher of the month:
Wolf of the Cardinals
4 W, 1.36 ERA, 36 K
Relief pitcher of the month
F. Rodriguez of the Braves
7 SV, 2.70 ERA, 14 K

Some bright spots in the lineup include Dan Uggla, batting .309 with 3 HR and 7 RBI, Richie Sexson batting .307 with 5 HR and 21 RBI, and bright spots in the rotation include Jeremy Guthrie with a 3.33 ERA, and Brad Lidge with a 1.00 ERA and 3-4 in save opps.

Hmm... is Iribarren in any sort of significant role? Do we have another 2B that could back up instead? What are the ERA's of Linebrink, Grilli, and Marte? Are Rivera's breaking pitches any good? Am I asking too many questions? I would like all of these questions to be answered before I make a decision.

Yeah, listing breaking balls would be a good idea.
