g56 | spittin' bristles at home 'gainst the halos

Mariners 4 | Angels 9

Well, at least I know it isn't me :-) (I was at the first two, but not today)
Another quality start (Jason's 9th in 11 starts) and another no decision.

This one is all on the pen ...
Friday and Saturday were pen implosions as well, but the offense (or lack thereof) was also to blame.  All of a sudden, Shawn and Sean have lost it.  Garrett and Chad are still finding their roles.  Brandon is up and down.  David is under-worked.  And, boy do they miss Mark.
The good stuff ...
~ every batter, save one, with at least one hit (3 with 2)
~ total of 12 hits - third double-digit hit total this home stand (with 8 being the lowest hit total)
~ Saunders, the one without a hit, drew 2 walks and scored once
~ five extra base hits
~ Guti WebGem

Now they head to Texas ...
Can the stellar starting pitching and the recent good offensive signs continue enough to overcome the BP short-comings?  And/or will the BP snap out of their funk?
