It was Churchill who once referred to the Soviet Union as a riddle wrapped inside a mystery inside an enigma. The same could be said of this season's Seattle Mariners. We haven't seen this team for eight days when they beat the Rangers 14 to 2. In between we've seen that Ms team that gets crushed by giving up 11 or more runs (3 times) or loses by one run (3 times) or, once, actually wins by one run.
Again, what's the pattern or identity of this team. A couple of patterns appear to be: lose big, win big, lose close. What kind of pattern is that?
New disturbing trend, maybe it was just what comes of being in Cleveland, the Lake Effect. Base-running mistakes. More part of the learning curve?
Off to New York.
