M's on a slow tanking right now...if it aint pitching, its hitting...or lack there of. Ugggh.

Im good with a .500 team...thats much better than i expected. Now the question is, do they keep Cruz or dump him before the TD? His stock is high and could get some good shit in return...

Not surprising Lind is on the block...even after last night's heroics.



Mariners Adam Lind hits walk-off HR to top Sox | MLB.com



Some rival evaluators feel the Mariners could make Steve Cishek, Adam Lind and/or other veterans available before the deadline, ESPN’s Buster Olney reports in his latest subscriber-only news column. Lind has hit just .229/.258/.429 this season and lost playing time to Dae Ho Lee at first base, so in moving Lind, the M’s would be able to shift Nelson Cruz back to DH and improve their outfield defense. Cishek struggled in his last few outings prior to the All-Star break but has overall been quite solid as Seattle’s closer, notching 22 saves and posting a 3.07 ERA, 11.63 K/9 and 3.79 K/BB despite an ungainly 18.9% homer rate. The Mariners fell to the .500 mark after today’s loss to the Astros, so the M’s could certainly turn into deadline sellers barring a quick turnaround.

M's 5th in the WC and have won 4 in a row. These games against Detroit are somewhat critical because they are 4th in the WC and we can get to within a .5 game of them with a sweep. We are the hottest team in the entire WC race at the moment...
