I have to credit the Blue Jays. Pressure was on them, and they have played a solid game. M's finally look tired. We'll need another miracle, but it's all still out there.

Just checked back since Monday Night Football's at halftime. Looks like things are going better since I checked out, so I'll bug out again and check back in a while. You all can thank me later when the M's complete the comeback.

Sounds like me bitching about Canzone and the hapless Mariners tonight. We do get a bit emotionally over-involved, don't we?

There is still tomorrow, and anything can still happen. That's where I'm investing the rest of my homerism.

Alright. Three, consecutive inning-ending double plays is my limit. This is not our night. See you tomorrow.

I just needed to talk trash about Canzone. He'll be on fire the rest of the way (God knows he's due...).

Naylor has the right approach for tonight. Nice, controlled swings. Play the long game instead of looking stupid swinging out of your shoes at splitters. I know that's not this team's M.O., but....

That's what I heard the announcers say, but I'd take a .200 right-hander over that hot garbage. I'm sure there's something he does well, but I've never seen it.

Do the M's seriously not have a better hitter than Canzone and his .050 average sitting in Tacoma?

Nice, big, just starting to color up buck this morning, fresh up with the rain we got last night. Must have been one of the many I've heard have been hanging out in the bays waiting for rain. Had a couple other bites that didn't stick. Went a bit upstream hoping to intercept more freshies and...

Sounds like your boat is good; it's the trailer you want to ditch, but only sometimes. I was going to suggest something similar to the above, but much more redneck. Maybe you could mount a trailer winch to the roof in your garage (or someplace else that lets you crank from above car level)...

Hard to argue otherwise. That said, Derek Jeter compared our own Cal Raleigh to Ohtani last night. He missed 3 games all year (as a catcher!!!), managed a good pitching staff, and, oh yeah, has hit 60+ home runs. That's pretty unworldly, almost Ohtani-level stuff. Pretty high praise, especially...

You guys like that one???

That really is all we can say LOL. Our pontificating and prognostication won't make the pitching or hitting better; we'll get what we get. Hopefully, we like it....

For sure, Toronto's bats are on fire, but I think it all comes down to great pitching. That's what we saw games 1 and 2, and that's why they came home up 2-0. If Kirby and Castillo pitch even average games by their standards (say 2 runs over 5 innings), both of those games are at least much...

I'm thinking tidal Chehalis. People will use anything that floats as a boat there. Honestly, those could be a lot of fun. They would certainly turn heads. I have doubts about the longevity for some reason....

8!

Here we go, baby! Just 9 more runs to go!

I'm pretty quiet. That's for sure. We're not accustomed to playoff baseball around here, and we have a long, painful history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, so it's easy for us to forget we're still up 2-1 and have four more games to win two. Nothing is lost yet, ugly as this one...

Looks like we'll see a lot of the bullpen tonight. Here's hoping the offense can get it going again.
