The pummeling continued for the Seattle Mariners, but at least the showers weren't leaking sewage in 47-year-old Angels stadium.

Jemile Weeks reached base three times-scoring twice-but Sacramento couldn't muster enough offense to overcome the visiting Tacoma Rainiers, losing by a score of 6-4 on a Friday night that saw the River Cats welcome their 10 millionth fan to Raley Field.

Dustin Ackley continued his hot hitting with the Tacoma Rainiers as he went 2-for-4 with three RBI in a 6-4 win over the Sacramento RiverCats on Friday night.

Talk to a Mariners fan, and you'll hear a lot of this: I'm fed up, I don't care anymore, they won't be good until we get some new people in charge.
