Seattle’s Liam McGurk hits for cycle

In what has been a dismal season for the Seattle Mariners, who currently sit at 57-96, slugger Liam McGurk gave Mariner fans something to smile about on September 20th vs. Boston, when he went 4-6, with a single, double, triple, and a home run. One of the rarest plays in baseball, McGurk’s historical night is the 3rd cycle this year, the other two belonging to Kevin Gheorghe of the Padres and Julio Gouea of the Braves. McGurk’s contract will expire this year, and it’s widely expected that the Mariners do not have the cash to resign him.

McGurk’s four RBIs on the night helped contribute to a 10-4 win over the worst team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox.

Buzz: Gaby Hernandez rumblings

According to the Oakland Athletics their strategy for the next couple of years will be to spend very little money, due to the fact that they don’t believe they can compete with the Seattle Mariners or the California Cutthroats for the AL West title next year. This has created speculation that they may try to move ace SP Gaby Hernandez.

Insiders close to the team state that Hernandez’s name has indeed been thrown around in trade talks, but it hasn’t gone much further than that.
