Seafair weekend- baseball!
With the Mariners about to face Oakland this weekend, it is time for us to set our expectations for the series.
If the M's get swept, it will be pretty hard to see them winning the division. Yeah, yeah, we all know what happened in '95 and the Angels, but we would have two other teams to worry about as well. While the M's won't be mathematically eliminated by a sweep, it will be much, much harder to gain ground. I think every Mariner fan will agree losing 12 in a row to Oakland is simply not good.
Losing one game will not be quiet so bad, but the psychological damage will still be bad. The Mariner players realize they need to make a statement- they have been playing good ball against the best teams in the AL, and have some decent momentum. They are going to be trying just a little harder this series, given all that's riding on it.
Of course we want 2 or more wins out of this series. If we get it, the race is full one!
Get your tickets and get out there!
