The puzzling Seattle Mariners come to the Dome this weekend, for this year's first meeting between the 1977 expansion cousins. And Adam Lind makes his long-awaited return to Toronto, clad in the opposition's livery, and I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've used the word "livery" in a sentence. See, ya live long enough, anything can happen. As if last night in Cleveland hadn't proved that already.
The Mariners are stuck in third place, 6.5 games behind Texas. They're 5.5 games back of the Blue Jays for the second Wild Card. Their biggest problem hasn't been anything they've done - rather, it's been the Texas Rangers' spooky good fortune (19-7) in one-run games.
