This was the perfect time to get fat. After battling three tough teams out of the chute, the schedule makers gave the Mariners a fluffy nine game home stand against the belly of the American League. The Mariners couldn't have asked for a friendlier stretch, and after a rough start to the season, we were all guilty of licking our chops with Texas, Houston, and Minnesota on the docket.
I can't be the only one who mentally pegged the Mariners for a 6-3 home stand. This is a good club, a potential playoff team, and playoff teams historically kick the crap out of the dregs of the league.
