The Take Over, The Brakes Over

Here we are Mariner fans....

We have just about reached that pennicle of where the season culminates into a must win situation. i know, i know we are only in June. But take a look at the next month.

We have two more games against (the hated) San Diego Padres...

3 @ home v. Arizona
3 @ home v. San Deigo
3 @ LA v. Dodgers

Then a 3/3 @ New York/Boston

followed by a 6 game home stand

3 against Baltimore and 3 against Texas

RIGHT before the All-Star break.


Currently we are sitting at 2 under .5oo just 3.5 back for second place behind the angles and 5.5 back of texas for first.

There is no reason to think that we cant make out Atleast 13 wins in 23 games. to take us to .500 before the All-Star game. The Boston/New York run is going to be a HUGE test to see where we are at and after the all-star game is gets harder with the tigers, blue jays and another series with texas.

Im going to be in an out of pocket during this time so i really felt it important to put it out there. We have to take advantage of an easy end of june because we got a tough july coming up, and its about to punch us in the junk if we're not careful. If we end july within 6 games of first place we may still have a chance. Everything lies within our own grasp.

What is critical is that when we see texas or LA that we play them like its the playoffs. We go in there like its what is keeping us from the world series.

I just dont think we have ahad much agression towards those big and cruical teams this year.
