Slog - Comments on Mariners 4, Baltimore 5 http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/mariners_4_baltimore_5 Swept by the Orioles? Ugh. What an ugly weekend (and Monday). Still, Dave at U.S.S. Mariner points out: ...the team has been outscored by a whopping two runs in seven games. If you break an ankle jumping off the bandwagon now, it’s going to be harder to climb back on with a gimpy wheel when the breaks start going the M’s way. Here's hoping those breaks start going our way soon....

Win or lose I'm on the Mariner bandwagon, but this bullpen scares the hell out of me!

And then they fall apart. I've never figured out why. But this means nothing.

They haven't. We've lost a few dice rolls; we'll win some too. One-run games are exactly that: 100% chance.

That said, I was a skeptic long before these games came along. My opinion is unchanged: we will suck, but moderately.

Also, IIRC the M's were shitty out of the gate last year too, and they still got as far as 22 games over .500 while making a serious playoff run.

That said, in light of the comments about the shitty bullpen, one of the parts we gave away in the offseason for Erik Bedard, George Sherrill, closed out 3 of those 4 Mariner losses for Baltimore.
