We spent 50 million on Carlos Silva......

....and other teams spent less than 3 million for the same pitcher....

I dont want to come off that I hate Carlos....I dont...he's a mariner now, so I cheer for him.
But I will repeat this again......

50 million of the worst money ever spent in baseball.
We will regret it even more 3-4 years from now...wont be able to trade him and eating the salary.

Ummmm..... Kosuke Fukedome makes the same, same length of contract..

Take any of the young arms in AAA
Put them as your number 4 or 5 (thats another thing....Bavasi loves paying 10++++ million for #4 and #5 pitchers....why is that?)
Take the 12 mill per....Fukudome in Right Field (now defensively we are good)
Put Balentine in LF
Raul to DH
Vidro to PH

Fukedome hitting 3rd, beltre 4th and Raul 5th, Balentine 6th

I hate Bill Bavasi, he traded the future away, and he over estimated our offense.

6 1/2 games out of 1st.....and unless the mariners go crazy with a 20 game winning streak....the season could be over quickly.

the big question is....How long will this losing streak end? Will our offense every score 3 runs in a game? What month does Bavasi get fired?

*sigh* Go Mariners.
