The Mariners and Padres were supposed to be two big-time players in the playoffs hunt this year; instead their seasons so far are more like that camp song “Going on a Bear Hunt”: bad, overly long, and ultimately pointless. My bad breaking open that weirdly pulsating amulet I picked up at a Phoenix thrift store at the Peoria Sports Complex this spring, everybody. It’s Logan Gilbert day, though, and he has a tendency to play the role of stopper when the team is circling the drain—although Luis Castillo did that on Friday night in Texas, and his reward was a big old goose egg on the scoreboard from the offense.
