That seems to be working quite well for them. Maybe the Ms should play all their games without any days off in between. That seems to be working quite well for them.

The 'pen has been great, and I'm seeing the Sherril/Morrow/Putz as a reincarnation of Rhodes/Nelson/Sasaki of a few years back. Just a solid group that shuts down innings 7-9 for this team. The concern is obviously the starters, as the 'pen is going to get burnt out if they can't get more that 5+ innings from the starters. I’m feeling pretty good about the M’s right now.

Several posters predicted this. See 109, 125, 187 fishiam (#215) gets extra credit for:<blockquote>This is playing out just as I predicted. Get to their bullpen by the 7th and our win is basically assured. You just watch.</blockquote> Unfortunately, I had a movie to get to at 9:30 (damn SIFF! ;) ) so I missed this. Ah well, I saw last night, and there will probably be another one today. The M’s are a come-from-behind team when they’re facing a team with a decent starter and a sucky bullpen.

We're not exactly known as a come-from-behind team... It's a nice surprise to have the previous two 7th innings be a hitfest. At this point, every game counts to keep us in contention... I'm afraid the Weaver start saturday is going start the downward spiral :( It was quite frustrating to sit through the first half of that game. We’re not exactly known as a come-from-behind team…

The question is whether or not we continue to follow that season's course of events. I, for one, do not believe history will continue to repeat itself later. Actually I just wanted to post that because now, like then, is fun. It already is. The question is whether or not we continue to follow that season’s course of events.
