It’s time for the Mariners to do the dumbest thing possible.

After losing 22-0 on Tuesday, the Mariners won 7-5 on Wednesday. Now it’s Thursday and the final game of the series is here. If they win, they not only win the series with a massively negative run differential, they’ll win the Road Trip From Hell, also with a massively negative run differential. The season is long since over, of course, but hey, it’d be funny!

On the mound for the Mariners is Furious George Kirby, who will try to channel

the rage from getting smacked around by the Astros into locking down a far better team. At the dish will be a pretty standard lineup, but with no Cal Raleigh and yes Jhonny Pereda. Taylor Ward is in there for the second day in a row at DH. They will face *GASP* ….. Robert Gasser.
