    Is that like a snipe hunt?

    How many times have we seen this script.

    Start out slow, and you think they are out of it. They then go on an absolute tear, and get just into striking distance of a playoff birth, then they rip your heart out in the final 4-5 games.

    1.5 games back with five games to play. Wouldn't be surprised if they go 2-3 to end and finish 2 out.

    Amazing honestly

    1 game back in loss column and it would not shock me at all to go 3-1 in last 4 and get into tiebreaker with 91 wins

    Most of us have been beaten too many times to expect anything other than missing out by a game or two.

    On the other hand, in 1985 the M's started 6-0 and then proceeded to lose 10 of 11. I think they finished 61-101 that year if memory serves me

    I can only think of one time in last 15nyears where we were close to playoffs. Like 5-6 years ago. Felix was on mounds last game of season.

    Am I missing other seasons? Mariners have sucked for better part of last two decades

    There was a couple years ago, where they started something like 14-2, then proceeded to suck again.
