SCORING EARLY
Just to remind all of you, the Mariners finished the 2003 season by going 67-19 (.779) when they scored first. With an overall record of 93-69, this left them at a 26-50 (.342) clip when NOT scoring first. It's true; the Mariners lost NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF THE TIME when they didn't score first. I remember I would always say that the Mariners (except the fluke that was 2001) were the type of team that had to score early and hang on. A record of 26-50 does not signal a team that came back when it was down.
