Two years into a five-year, $64 million contract, Adrian Beltre has produced a .262 average, 44 home runs, and 176 RBIs. However, after the All Star break in 2006, Beltre slugged .552 with a whopping 18 home runs. Does this strong second half bode well for a turn-around in 2007, or will Mariners fans have to deal with 'A-Drain' once again? This blog intends to follow the 2007 season for Adrian Beltre, and the Seattle Mariners, and promises to hold no punches.

So, apparently the Orioles were using mind control tactics against the M's Thursday afternoon. They saw no other chance but to trick the mariners into believing Rodrigo Lopez was, in fact, not Rodrigo Lopez, as Richie Sexson points out so clearly;

"We were trying to slow him down, but he got strike one all the time," Sexson said. "It's Greg Maddux. Same guy. He hasn't done that all year -- but he did today."

No, Big Sexy. It's not the same guy. Greg Maddux pitches for the chicago cubs, and is not Mexican. Imagine how silly he's going to feel when he looks at the boxscore tomorrow and realizes who they were facing.

Those dirty O's. If they're brainwashing opposing teams, who knows wht lows they'll stoop to next.

Funny thing is, with the way he's been pitching as of late, I highly doubt that Maddux would've put up a similar start against the O's that Rodrigo did.

I think a more apt comparison would be Jim Palmer.
