If you're a Mariners fan this game is what you live for. Game #5 of the ALDS in your home park where your team is absolutely dominant. LFG Mariners!

Something tells me Cal is going to solidify his MVP chances tonight...

They didn't exactly look dominant in Games 1 and 2.

Kirby for 6 innings, Buzardo for the 7th and 8th and Munoz to close out the 9th. LFG!!!!!

I'm no manager, but I'd talk to both Castillo and Kirby and tell them to think and prepare for the game like they're both starters, no matter when the second one comes in. All the M's will be trying to do is keep the game close against Sku (or stay ahead if we're lucky enough) until late in the game. Then hopefully we can get ahead/stay ahead and get the game to Munoz, the best we got in the pen.

This is going to be a nerve curdling game for me. You might as well just strap me to the rack and start turning the handle.

Keep it simple. Sometimes you get too cute with your bullpen and you get your ass lit up by Torkelson or McKinstry or Greene. Need Kirby to show up tonight. He’s actually pitching great.

We've scored first in every game and it matters a TON tonight. Kirby and Castillo combined for 7-8 innings and ANY lead would be a good place to be. Work the counts and ride the energy in the ballpark tonight! It will be nerve shattering, patience testing, and down right tense but to get to the WS they have to win these big moments. I believe they can. They are the better team, at home, and game 4 aside should have won the series already. They have a chance to kick open the door of a championship window tonight and I can't wait. I may throw up. But I can't wait.
