    If score holds in the Tigers/Twins game tonight they (Mariners ) will have a 2 game lead in the 2nd WC.

    It appears there will be meaningful baseball in September for the first time since I hit puberty.

    First Fenway sweep ever and they were down in every game at one point. Did it with clutch hitting. 13 above .500

    Schedule is pretty brutal the rest of the way but at least they are playing in late August/early September for something.

    every game facing a deficit of at least 2 runs. Whenever every mariner team from 2003-13 (sans 2007) faced any type of deficit they were toast. I'm not saying they will make the WS which they probably won't, but they are a different team.

    Make the WS? They have to make the playoffs first. Then they have to win the loser out game. One step at a time. They've surprised this season, but there is over a month of baseball left and they have a one game lead over Detroit. Every team has reasons why they won't make it, but the bullpen got taxed this weekend. Iwakuma got rocked today too. Giving the M's a 50% chance of making the playoffs is probably accurate and very generous considering these are still the Mariners.

    I never said they would make the World Series. I would give them about a 50% chance of getting to the playoffs and a <5% chance at the WS. The % I saw on fangraphs the other day was like 3.5%. I think that's about right

    SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners have rewarded general manager Jack Zduriencik with a multiyear extension with the club in playoff contention late in the season.

    Even when the Mariners have a good season, they do shit like this to ruin it.
