September 14, 2007 Jose Lopez was rested for the second consecutive day Thursday as the Mariners wanted to start Willie Bloomquist again, the AP reports. "I'm sure Jose's not happy about it, but I'm going with players I think are going to help us win that night," manager John McLaren said. "This is more about Willie than it is Jose. I like the energy he had (Wednesday)." Lopez wound up in the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth, drawing a walk. |

Jose Vidro started at second Thursday, but Willie Bloomquist is expected to get most of the time there over the next few days. |
