REALLY nice to see Jason end on a high note...
I've called him Jekyll and Hyde, as his seemed to be a tale of two seasons - he was either REALLY good or REALLY bad. Tonight, his last start, was definitely in the REALLY good category.
105 pitches - EIGHT innings - FIVE hits - ONE run - ZERO walks - TEN strikeouts
His win total reached 10 on the season and his innings pitched reached a career high (201). The 'twist' and adjustments he made late in the season seem to be playing fairly consistent dividends. Definitely something to build upon next season.
And Brandon nails down SAVE number 37
McCarthy only gave up 8 hits....
FOUR of them were for extra bases
TWO of them home runs
ONE, a solo shot by Miggy, made him the first M's catcher to lead the team in homers and RBI
ONE, a 3-run shot by Justin, gave him the lead in TWO-out hits (despite all the time he's missed)

Gotta credit those two for those feats but, it obviously doesn't speak really well for the rest of the offense.
A lot of the kids are finishing up strong...
so there is a lot to look forward to for next season and beyond.
For now, I look forward to tomorrow night...
as I'll be attending the game (my last of the season) with a good friend courtesy of the Mariners who sent me Terrace Club seats as a thank you for having my birthday party at Safeco Field! Can't wait for us to take each other's photos with Dave's statue and, hopefully to watch a great game.
Thanks, Mariners!
