BALTIMORE – The parents of quadruplet 2-year-olds could learn a thing or two about patience from Lloyd McClendon.
"I know I have got a good club," the manager asserted when asked what he sees in the Mariners after 40 games. "We haven't hit our stride, but I don't think there is anyone in that locker room that feels like this club is drowning. I like the attitude, I like the way they go about their business."
Then why isn't this reflected in their record? That is not a tough question for McClendon.
"I think we have done everything we could to shoot ourselves in the foot the first 40 games of the season," he said.
