3M
This won't be about Scotch tape.
The second lefty in the bullpen (chronicled earlier by Jeremy) in all likelihood should come down to (assuming the Mariners actually do bring a second lefty in the bullpen) three M-names --
-- Mike Myers (he of the rule-bending 51-foot pitch)
-- Mike Matthews
-- Bobby Madritsch (the Lakota Sioux lefty)
You may notice that a name is missing from the list that doesn't start with M -- Scott Sauerbeck. He didn't need the Mariners medical staff to mess up his shoulder; he beat them to the punch. Scott Sauerbeck will not pitch in 2004 after failing physicals for both the Cubs and Reds; he will undergo surgery.
