The Mariners are taking on the Twins tonight, pitting Jeff Weaver (0-1, 31.5 era) against Ramon Ortiz (2-0, 1.80 era). This will not end well. I don't usually predict scores, but I'm going to go ahead and guess at 10-2, or somewhere in that range (maybe 12-2!)
The Mariners have been given golden opportunities with game cancellations so far this season. If they wanted to, they could skip Weaver in the rotation and go with Felix for tonight since he has had five days rest. Are we at risk of insulting Weaver if we don't start him? Who the fuck cares? With Ortiz on the mound, we need a starter who can go more than two innings without giving up seven runs. Weaver's morale is not worth a guaranteed loss. He should have been dropped after his first start anyway.
Here's my line for Weaver: 2.1 IP, 7 hits, 6 ER, 2 hr and one very angry (and clueless) Mike Hargrove, who has perfected his impersonation of Dennis Hopper. Go M's!

Weaver's actual line: 6.0 ip, 7 er, 10 hits, 1 hr. He hung in there for longer than I thought, but other than that, pretty on the mark.
Yeah, I hate Weaver, and with two days off, Felix definetley should've started. We have the best number one starter in the league, and one of the worst number 5's (definetley worst when compared to salary).
