New lows for Richie Sexson and the Mariners

The other night the Mariners extended their scoreless streak to 22 innings. Richie Sexson vented his frustrations on a run-of-the-mill high fastball above the plate (*click on title for link), choosing the most rash reaction by charging the mound. I've silently fumed about the past two weeks but now am fully ready to give my top five solutions for righting the ship.

#1- Get rid of Richie Sexson, freeing up millions of dollars and the hearts and minds of Seattle fans which have not seen one ounce of production out of this guy in three years.

#2- Fire McLaren and reinstitute a coach that's comfortable with breathing down the neck of pitchers and the pitching coaches (no more sitting back while relievers like Baek and Rowland-Smith put the game out of reach).

#3- Stop fucking with the rotation. Let hitters get in the groove a little bit and stop starting Burke one night and Kenji the next. A little consistency please.

#4- Bring back small ball. With extra speed in the batting order, attempt a bunt once in a while and start executing the hit-and-run (once again~ note: Mariners coach John McLaren couldn't pep up a fucking little league team).

#5- Pray things get better.
