oh, and Sandmeyer thinks there is no way anyone should extend Bavasi.

ah me, I wake up this beautiful morning to hear Sandmeyer & John Clayton in for Mitch on KJR, so my ’2 games back’ buzz is severely tempered by getting to hear Clayton tell us the NL is terrible, terrible, that the M’s have just a handful of games left this year against teams with worse records than they do, that the M’s need to do something as they get to the trading deadline, and that we have to lay our trust in a man who deserves an extension for solidifying the franchise, but whose every trade (including Thornton) has made the team weaker … um, ok.

The problem is that Clayton says everything with the same tone of authority he uses when talking football, so he sounds plausible even as nonsense comes out of his mouth.

Here’s another way to view the issue since the M’s have cuaght fire while playing MLB’s version of *who’s the biggest loser*:

If the Ms beat down the **AAA** part of their schedule like they have, shouldn’t you at least entertain the thought that they should be able to compete with the cream of the league?

All things considered, with the 12th most difficult schedule, they are 2 games over .500 and so solidly within sniffing distance of the A’s that even Oakland’s silent farts will have efficacy…

AAAA PART OF SCHEDULE ALMOST OVER (See # 289) – I’m concerned too. But the other NL West-AL West match-ups lately haven’t been so one-sided.

Thank you Larry LaRue of Tacoma News Tribune for giving me a chuckle.

THIS is what I was always hoping for having the Mariners FINALLY come to the desert… Chase Field was seriously about half Mariner fans (if not more) and there was this feeling the whole way that they would make a comeback. PS, Arizona fans are TERRIBLE. Going into the 9th inning, with a one run lead, they had a mass exodus, probably about 8,000 people left going into the 9th inning. Maybe they knew what was coming? Haha, definitely made it more fun to just party with the many Mariner fans there. Good times!!! I fly back to Seattle tomorrow as well to go to games, hopefully a birthday present for ME is in order a la Jim
