    disagree on smoak. While morales has been sucking overall he has been hitting better lately, granted still not outstanding.
    At least there is potential improvement from morales unlike smoak who is what he is. Seager is a better option however

    I'm not saying Smoak is better, I'm just saying he almost assuredly would have performed better than Morales over the 21 games he's been here. That's how drecky Morales has been.

    The nice thing is he is definitely on the upswing with a .749 OPS in August and a .960 OPS the past week. I'm not saying send Morales down for Smoak, just poonting to a guy we all know sucks to illustrate just how bad Morales has been for the M's.
  • Haven't watched the M's since 2001 when management didn't add a bat.

    Z should have been fired 3 years ago. He's not getting fired after this year.

    Win probability was at 0.2% at that poont. 998 times out of 1000 (hi Tequilla!) teams don't come back from that to win.

    Took some luck with Denorfia and Ackley's bloopers falling in, but you don't come back from that without a little luck. And how about Ackley scoring from first on a single?

    Crazy.

    Sadly you're right. Unless they go 8-19 or something in September ( I'm estimating the amount of games...wrgaf), Seattle fans will be happy they won 84 games and were in it until Wednesday of the last week. He deserves another chance for acquiring Austin Jackson and having us in contention to be the fifth best team out of 14... or 15, whatever.

    I was talking to my friend last night and he was talking World Series. Refuse to lose!!!
