Thanks to the generosity of the Detroit Tigers, the Ms won five straight. Now they go on the road to play Texas with the trade deadline looming overhead. As we saw with free agency, decisions about signing or moving players is increasingly pushed closer to the last minute. Since so much of the Mariner's future has been attached to these late trades, the tension grows.
Update: six in a row! The Ms beat up the Rangers, scoring early and big. Mike Leake pitched like a guy with a plane to catch, five shutout innings, then he crashed. But the Mariners kept scoring run and gave Tuivailala a win. Big hitting by Kyle Seager... at last.
So, 15 hours to the trade deadline. What next? Seventh win?
