The heated Seattle Mariners visit the South Side of Chicago to tackle your White Sox. These rising Mariners have actually won eight of their last nine collection and discover themselves right in the thick of the AL Wild Card chase after as August draws to a close. After taking three of 4 in Kansas City and sweeping the weekend break three-game embed in Houston, the M's want to remain warm and equal Toronto and Houston in bush Card chase. Full disclosure, I like Seattle, and I like these Mariners. I make no secret of my long-distance relationship with the Pacific Northwest, both in society and in sporting activities. Griffey and Edgar? Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton? The 90s Supersonics? Heck Yes! Early 90s Seattle bands were the soundtrack of my turbulent young people, and I have constantly had a soft area for all points Seattle. Other than for Starbucks, that is, fuck that burned corporate coffee rubbish! Yet I swerve. Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martnez, and Jay Buhner of the 1997 Seattle Mariners Mark Harrison Sox followers of my generation could still hold deep ridicule for the Mariners for their unconstrained sweeping of the 2000 White Sox, but there is no ire from me. Despite crushing the Sox group that resuscitated my long-dormant baseball fandom post-strike in 2000, I hold no ill will certainly for those Mariners or the Mariners these days. The Griffey Jr. M's were easily the 2nd favored team of my youth behind the early 90s White Sox Rockies Jersey, and this period the M's have actually re-emerged as my second favorite. Names like Julio Rodrguez, JP Crawford, Eugenio Surez, Ty France, and Cal Raleigh may not be as famous as past stars like Ken Griffey Jr, Alex Rodriguez pre-Texas/NYY douchebaggery, certainly), Edgar Martnez, Randy Johnson, Ichiro Suzuki, and Flix Hernndez. Some all-time greats have worn the Mariners navy and teal. It's an embarassment they have actually never ever won anything, and only just last season broke a 21-year playoff dry spell, the lengthiest energetic in North American sports at the time. Not that Sox followers recognize anything about lengthy playoff absences. What Have the Mariners Been Up To?Seattle left to a sluggish begin in 2023 after being the darlings of the 2022 period. They were quite the streaky group in the initial half as well. After winning Opening Day in the house vs. Cleveland, they lost the next four to be up to 1-4. April alone had losing streaks of 3 and 4 sandwiched around a four-game win streak, consisting of sweeping the Rockies and being swept by the Makers. They closed April with one more four-game losing streak, followed by a four-game win touch to open May.

A three-game losing touch to open up and close June, and you guessed it, a four-game win streak to open up July. They shut the very first half winning 7 of ten to enter the All-Star break at 45-44. After that, certainly, they went down two of three to Detroit. Are we seeing the trend?The weird season of streaks proceeded in spite of appearing of the All-Star break red-hot, with a pair of three-game win touches in July. n Today's Front Web page?
