One month, more or less, is now in the books for the Mariners, and it might be time to re-assess the re-assessment of what is possible for this Mariners team.
You know, from the pending doom of an offseason in which the bulk of last year’s contending ballclub was shipped out, to the euphoria of the 13-2 start that gob smocked just about everyone.
Now reality is settling back in. You knew a course correction was coming, a regression to the mean, and it is upon us. If you look at the 22-game span that ended with the combined 29-2 thrashing by the Rangers over the weekend, you’ll find the Mariners winning six, losing six, winning three, losing three, winning two, losing two.
