The Mariners can no longer win 90 games, they’re eliminated from playoff contention, and there are just two games left in the season. All that considered, let’s finish the year strong with the best links of all time.

- David Eskenazi was honored by the Mariners after more than 20 years of dedication.
A ballpark's character lies in its details, & David Eskenazi has provided countless of them to Safeco. His collection can be seen on each stanchion, on the grates along 1st Ave, and even above concession stands. Tonight, @Mariners will give him his due: https://t.co/Qr2jqjsSpk pic.twitter.com/nGKIHEQLgh

- I guess the Mariners might not be the team that blew the biggest lead for a playoff spot this season.
if the Braves sweep the Phillies and Mets sweep the Marlins, the Phillies and Mets end up tied. The Mets were 17 (SEVENTEEN!!!!) games behind the Phillies on August 7. https://t.co/zmaxgpTgz9
