BBB on a short hiatus

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.

To any visitors out there, regular or casual, I just want to post a note saying that BBB will be on a short hiatus, as those behind the site are taking a week-plus long trip to Alaska to attend a wedding.

There might be some opportunity to post some game recaps and thoughtful analysis. Hopefully of the M's dismantling the A's. But as they don't get to avoid Joe Freakin' Blanton in this series, chances are the A's will take it, yet again...

If Beltre goes o-fer the week, you bet we'll be here to razz him! Course, that two-run home-run to give the Mariners the victory over the Orioles today was prety sweet. What was that, his tenth? At least he reached double figures by early August...
