g98 | spitting bristles from Anaheim to Seattle to Toronto...

Mariners 5 | Blue Jays 7

Wow!
Who are these guys?!?  The M's stole THREE bases, took FOUR free passes, banged out NINE hits, including their first GRAND SLAM of the season (way to go, Miggy!)
Sounds like a winning forumla, right?

Wrong!
argh!!  Why is it when they FINALLY start hitting a bit, the pitching falls apart?!?

In the 3-game Toronto series...
the M's recorded 34 hits (including 6 doubles and 5 homers) and scored 16 runs.
SIXTEEN RUNS!  That is only ONE less run than they scored in their previous ELEVEN games.  Yesiree - the M's scored almost as many runs in this series as they had in their previous three series.  And yet, they were swept ... again!

In fact, of their past 19 losses, 10 of them would have been wins with the five runs they scored today.

*sigh*
