So that call is lookin' pretty good Mal. Mark Reynolds' 15 doubles and 15 dongs woulda won the Mariners some ballgames in the first half.
Reynolds maybe be the TTO'est of 'em all ... at 215 strikeouts per year, he's testing the boundaries. So far, he's been an overall plus offensive hitter. Would be a white-knuckle ride, though ... :- )

In fairness to LL, I take them as kinda "living and dying with each win and loss," wearing their hearts on their sleeves in an honest and heartfelt presentation ... as opposed to scoffing at Jack Zduriencik's attempts to win, and pushing trades of Bedard and Pineda, and so forth.
And Sully has been less ashamed of getting into the 2011 pennant race than most guys would, with his audience.
But yeah.
This team is unquestionably a dark-horse contender, in this weak division. There is no excuse for (other) blogs to still pretend that the Mariners have no chance.
The Mariners have a fair chance to beat Texas, and it is high time for Mariners analysts to stop justifying preseason assumptions, and to start rooting for the home team to win this thing.
