    When asked today Click is still saying that they expect him back but are given no timetable for return. He sounded confident in saying that but ya gotta wonder

    Win 1 of the last 6 vs. the lowly A’s. That is horrible.

    Chas destroys LHP. Dubon is, well, a fine last man on the bench

    +4000 on the Mariners to win the division.

    I'm in. Yes, I'm being an emotional baby.

    One positive to take away from the weekend is we ARE going to trade for a significant bat at the deadline.

    It will be Josh Bell. He will help solve our inconsistent and all too often anemic offense.

    And we will get a significant relief pitcher.

    The real winner is Mark Kotsay.

    The players sucked but that was a horribly mismanaged series by Dusty. No two ways about it.

    That’s baseball. Any team can crush you at any moment. No matter how great your team is, you can easily get swept in a best of 5.

    It's basically like the sweep against seattle didn't happen. And now we have to play them 4 games at home.

    ****ing terrific.

    Especially when it’s fairly obvious the team placed almost no emphasis on trying to, you know, win.

    Getting swept gives you that “we might not be as good as we think we are” feeling.

    hopefully just a bad run of games and we get back at it tomorrow.

    Sweeping them gave us the cushion for nonsense like this series. Just part of a long season.
