This past weekend had the potential to be enshrined with Lollablueza and Deadgar weekend as extremely disappointing turning points during August. Since the Mariners managed to avoid the sweep on Sunday afternoon, it probably doesn’t compare, but it was still an incredibly disheartening four-game series against the Blue Jays. With the Canadian invasion in the rear-view mirror, the Mariners head out on a ten-game road trip. They’ll face three division rivals, including a four-game series in Houston and a three-game series in Oakland. Maybe getting away from Safeco Field will help them rekindle their offense.
