Ok, so, for all those baseball fans out there, your probably aware the mariners had a horrible 61-101 year in 08. The last couple of years for the M's have been painful to watch. Up to late, with our new manager, we have been making some good choices as far as who to sign. As always, our pitching looks fine, our outfielding looks outstanding, with 3 gold gloves. But, like every year, we need to focus on hitting the ball! With Griffey on our side now, things are looking hopeful. Now I know that JR isn't as good as he once was, but he raises morale, and he can still smack a homer here and there. Could the mariners be on the rise? I'm thinking we could return to .500, and finish 3rd maybe 2nd if we try in the A.L. West. What do you think?
