Will the Mariners make the playoffs this year? How will they finish?

I hope we make the playoffs. In 22 career at bats, Wladimir Balentin has 3 home runs. That is a good sign and Sexson is finding his power stroke and Clement will push Vidro for DH time. Once we get hitting consistently to back up our pitching, there should be more W's on the schedule.

I think we are going to turn it around and slide into a wild card spot!

 

Go M's

it's one of those heart say yes, head says no situtations. It is far too early to tell as we need to think; will we get any new players, and will McLaren be staying as manager. The next couple of series' will help us decide whether or not McLaren should stay or not.

But for the moment i'm afraid its 2nd/3rd place for us.

I would like to think that we can turn things around and make the playoffs, but I think the M's need to make a big move to do it. The current roster is not working and we need a big bat in the lineup. It is still possible with our lineup now, but everythings gotta be clicking and on the same page. We can't have half of them in a slump or a "down" year. Thanks for all your input fellas

I am hoping we will turn this thing around soon and fight for the Division. If we don't win the ALWest, then hopefully at least a wildcard spot.

So far this season we are way to inconsistent. The weekend sweep by the Yankees was especially difficult. Not only are they the "Hated Yankees", but we had our top 3 pitchers going and don't win even one game. I don't see us having any more 3 game losing streaks when those 3 are pitching in order.

The line up need a little bit of a tweek and our offense should begin to explode. All the right sticks are there, we just need to put them in the right order.

Look this should be our main line-up now

Ichiro

Lopez

Ibanez

Beltre

Balentien

Clement

Sexson

Johjima

Betencourt

Balentien, Clement, and Sexson can be shuffled based on how they are hitting.

After that we need some stronger performances from Batista and Washburn. And some consistance from the bullpen. That really will determine our success this season. If we don't get that, it doesn't matter who is hitting, because we are going to give up 10 runs a couple times a week anyway.

We just got 2 hit by Vincente Padilla and the Rangers....I think the playoffs are a long, long way off for this seasons Mariners...unless they get hot and that offense starts to do something the playoffs arent happening this season...

Like I said in an earlier post, this home stand against the Rangers will give us a good indication of how good we are. Well, i know we have 1 more, but it's safe to say that this team will be lucky to finish third in its division. It doesn't get any worse than getting shut down by Texas starting pitching. Perhaps inter-league play will get us going,  but the way this team looks, it might be a good idea to bet on the other team.

The really sad part is that my strategy in fantasy baseball is to take up all the pitchers who play the Mariners and use them in the following week. Low and behold I am undefeated in one league and the other is looking good as well.
