Hello everyone! Let’s kick off this Friday with some links.
In Mariners news...
- Yesterday went about as well as a Mariners off-day could have gone, with many key rivals all losing — the Rangers (their seventh straight), Astros (a franchise-record 16-run defeat), and Blue Jays (thanks Baltimore). Seattle is now in second place in the AL West and in possession of the second wild card, and just 1 game back of Texas.
- Just like he said in 1995, Jay Buhner believes in the Mariners’ ability to better than simply make the wild card this year.
