I sure hope so
Nothing would make me happier than a carry over tonight of the greatness that was the past week. I'm scared about Jamie on the road.

We either get swept by the way side by another
Oakland run, or we prove ourselfs as playoff contenders. There are no other options.

GO MARINERS!

He's King Felix alright. No argument here. We couldn't catch a break to save our behinds today, but the kid on the mound just mowed us fucking down.~Rev

Meche hurt?
Saw this in the times article yesterday.  Thoughts?

Trainer Rick Griffin said Meche was fine after the pitcher had a muscle in his left side stiffen up on Saturday. But Meche said he could still feel it and frowned and shook his head when asked about it. "I don't know," he said.

No
only because I've declared at least 2 other series exactly the same way, we got blasted in both and here we are, right back in it again.

Certainly a higher leverage series, but nothing too impactful I bet. Unless it's a sweep one way or another.
