SIGH...
In the "too little too late" category, Jamie Moyer got his 19th win of the year and stopped the 3-game slide. The Mariners are still 4.5 games behind the A's and are now 1.5 games back of Boston in the Wild Card. In the astronomical odds department, consider that the A's magic number is six. The Mariners have ten games left, six against the A's. The Angels and Rangers haven't been helping the Mariners a single damn bit when it comes to beating the A's. So if the Mariners take any less than 5 of 6 from the A's, then it's out of their hands.
Every once in a while I go back to my preseason prediction. I thought the Mariners would finish 88-74 (they'd have to go 1-7 to get that, don't doubt these guys!) and be in third place (wrong there).
