| I Am So Smart
On August 16th, I wrote this in the Comments section of a blog I read:
"The Mariners have outscored their opponents by a grand total of 6 runs this year. Six. The Yankees have outscored their opponents by a grand total of 149 runs. The Mariners are the very definition of a team that has gotten lucky and has a much better record than they should have. I can almost guarantee that the Mariners go .500 or worse the rest of the way."
Since I wrote that, the Mariners have gone 7-10, including a 9-game losing streak. They also lost the 2 games before I made that statement, so they are 7-12 in their last 19.
Since then, the Mariners run differential has shrunk to 2 runs. They have scored 2 more runs than they've allowed (not counting today's game). The MAriners are a .500 team thats gotten ridiculously lucky. I will be absolutely shocked if they win the Wild Card over the Yankees and Tigers (who are a legitimately good team) |
