The Seattle Mariners lost another tough one on Tuesday, dropping a back-and-forth game to the Tampa Bay Rays by a 6-5 final. But if nothing else, at least Mariners fans were treated to a bit of theater that only they would enjoy.
Here's the scene: It's the top of the third inning, and somebody from the Mariners dugout gets the heave-ho from home-plate umpire Manny Gonzalez. Dan Wilson goes out to seek information about what the heck just happened, and Gonzalez runs him as well.
And there to see all of it is none other than Lou Piniella.
