The M’s season surely is on the line with this upcoming 4 game series. If they lose 3 of 4 or manage to be swept, then it’s time to trade Wash and Bedard.
BUT I happen to have faith in this team, along with the fact that we are putting Felix, Wash, Bedard, and Morrow up against Texas. Lets hope this team rebounds, careless mistakes stop happening and the bullpen rebounds.
GO MARINERS!

It’s now up to Junior and his veteran leadershipness to steer the M’s out of this little funk. Ichiro had best keep his distance.

Having heard the end of that steaming pile of a game while stuck in traffic, the whole “Gee guys, we can go 5-4 on the road against the three best teams in baseball…but boy those O’s are sure tough to beat at home” schtick somehow didn’t surprise me.

This is a type of loss that demoralizes a team. This is the game that we will look back at that ended our season,

Or, as their manager has pointed out, it is a team that has a great short-team memory for a bad game and so they move on to tomorrow.

Itâ€™s a curious pick-up for Z â€“ the sort of move a GM makes when he needs to stockpile bodies to fill the holes created by an injury . . . or imminent trade.

or just depth at Tacoma

Hell no, the solution to the Mariners infield problems is Triunfel, but heâ€™s 2 years away.

Odds are he won’t play SS at this level.

You don’t know how it will affect the team. Don’t you think you’re overreacting just a bit? Really, it’s one game.

Cluster***ks like this inevitably happen over the course of a season…even to good or great teams. Why, a good team could never lose a game 15-14 after going into the 8th with a 12 run lead, after all!

Cintron is a horrible defender at every position he has been allowed to play up to this point. Heâ€™s not so hot with the stick, either. It’s a curious pick-up for Z – the sort of move a GM makes when he needs to stockpile bodies to fill the holes created by an injury . . . or imminent trade.

The solution to all the Marinersâ€™ infield woes is not far away.

Wouldnâ€™t it be really really cool if the Mariners make a trade at the deadline to acquire this guy?

Cintron’s Fangraph

What we wouldn’t do for a replacement level shortstop…

Jesus.
