Pretty frustrating game last night. Especially the 8th inning.

Seems pretty straight forward what needs to happen. Win the next two or it's likely done for the M's.

Kuma vs Happ tonight

Felix vs Sanchez tommorrow.

It's gonna be tough but Go M's

RIP Mariners 2016 season, at least they kept it interesting until mid September.

In 2014 the two series that did M's in were the Astros and Blue Jays. Two years later it's deja vu. I probably never really believed it would happen. This year has been such a roller coaster. Right when you think they may still be alive they subsequently shit the bed

Not good enough, but better than years past... They're not dead yet, but rigamortis is slowly setting in ...

The bed has been shat this series....

Hate to say it, but when I posted in the Astros thread about this being the biggest series the M's have played in years, in the back of my mind I thought "that means they'll most likely get swept." It was still a good year, and I don't think it can be overstated how big a deal it is to have Lincoln gone. But still it would have been nice to see the M's overachieve and actually do something for once.

All three times. ALL. THREE. FREAKIN'. TIMES! They reach ten games over .500, and each time, they chicken out.

Thanks for quitting, guys. You don't even deserve a playoff spot, not with crap gameplay like that, if you even call it gameplay.

As bad as the last 2 series have been, a win today and the team is still just 2 back with 10 games to play. Getting hot for the last 2 weeks of the season certainly wouldn't be the first time the team picked it up sharply after a bad stretch. Been a streaky team all year.

I guess it's fitting that the likely final gut punch came on a night where Happ gets win #20 and Saunders hits the go ahead homer. Mariner history wouldn't have it any other way.

Problem is Detroit and Houston have now passed them. Even if they go 9-2(which won't happen) they will still need help. The reality is they had their shot against two teams they were fighting with at home and didn't get it done

Sure, everyone behind in the standings needs help. And you can tell me they won't go 9-2 until you're blue in the face, but you don't know how this plays out. You probably also didn't think they could win 8 in a row. 2 games back with 10 to play. That's where we'll be with a win today. Just the fact of the matter.

Had to scratch and claw, but good win to keep the team in this thing. Felix was excellent, too bad he couldn't get the W. Diaz with BS #2....it happens...team picked him with great D.

These last 10 games will be fun.

That homer by Bautista just sunk the dagger deeper...
They could have easily folded at that point, but they didn't. Diaz buckled down and kept it a 1-1, and the D was excellent in extras to hold Toronto. Bad homestand to be sure, but good win today.

One more win would have been nice. Thankfully Baltimore has been losing so they still have a pulse

It was crucial getting that win. Been following some of the other teams in the WC pretty closely lately.

Some big series coming up for some teams that could help us out. Yankees @ BJ's and Royals @ Tigers and I'm hoping the Angels can take a few from the Stros and the D Backs take a few from the Orioles.

Fact is we MUST beat the Twins, they are not good and we need those wins.

Yeah I had little confidence after that bomb, it was a very depressing moment. Glad they fought and ended up winning.

Toronto fans really are annoying.
