Gil-Ga-Meche
Gil Meche continues to pitch like a Cy Young candidate at Safeco Field. He shutdown the Giants for nine innings today, allowing just one run on a home by Ray Durham. His ERA at Safeco now stands at 2.39. He's struck out 49 in his 49 innings at the ball park while walking just 14. On the road his ERA goes to 6.38 and he's walked more than he's struck out.
Raul Ibanez played the part of Enkidu today (except for the running around naked), picking up a single, double and home run while driving in four. The Mariners won easily over the Giants 8-1.

...not to be confused with Gil Gamesh, the star pitcher for the Ruppert Mundys in Philip Roth's "Great American Novel"...
Another example game of how much better the American League is than the National League.
