In a season that has already presented us with some remarkable moments along with an exhilirating six-game winning streak and an equally depressing six-game losing streak, the last two games provide evidence of the Mariner’s split personality.
Thursday they lost 1 to 0 to Cleveland. Last night they won 11 to 10 against the Angels. Two one-run games about as different in nature as baseball games can get. Both involving the Mariners. Same team, although the games they played were about as different in style as could be imagined. Which is the real M's team? Neither, maybe? Both, probably?
The good news, winning or losing frequently by one run suggests, however you got there, you're always in the game, just one hit or pitch away from a victory or loss. A classic .500 profile. Add that to the fact that this team appears to win and loose in streaks means we can look forward to a lot of nail-biters in which the result comes down to a final swing or pitch.
I'm loading up on the Nexium and, please, Scott Servais, no more Alaniz... ever.
