M's in first place...

It's been a long time since the M's found themselves in first place. So while it's only the beginning of the season, it's a significant achievement for this team.

The last two years have seen the M's start by losing right out of the gate. Remember how long it took the M's in Melvin's last year to get to 3 wins? The team was practically out of it before April was over.

Now the M's find themselves in first place, and have one of the most exciting players in baseball take the mound tonight. Wow, an actual reason to be an excited M's fan.

For now, we don't need to wonder if Olerud will be released, or if Boone will get traded before the deadline. For once, we can talk about good things, and not focus on the negative. (for now of course!)

So let's enjoy Friday night, and yell like crazy when the King takes the mound.
