The Seattle Mariners are proof of what a difference a week can make. From last Friday to this Friday, they have gone from nearly spiraling out of the American League playoff picture to being in a tie for first place in the AL West, and they have done it in the most normal way possible.
Just kidding. Their season has gone downright batty.
The Mariners have won six straight games since a 4-1 loss in Atlanta last Friday, and the two most recent wins feel straight from the bottom of a barrel for every idea that has ever existed.
