Just one game under .500, and only 5.5 games back in the American League West, the Mariners are poised to enter perhaps the most critical stretch of games in their season thus far. With the trade deadline looming and the team hanging in buy-or-sell purgatory, the M’s should emerge from their next 15 games with a much better idea of where they stand in 2009.
The Mariners kick off a nine-game road trip today that sends them to Baltimore, then Colorado, and finally San Diego before returning home for six games against the Arizona Diamondbacks and those very same San Diego Padres.
If you’re keeping track at home, that’s fifteen games against teams with sub-.500 records. Maybe the most winnable stretch of ballgames the M’s will encounter all year.
