Happy Memorial Day weekend, y’all!
Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday. The Mariners remain in first place in the AL West and sit at seven games above .500.
If you’d have told me mid-March that this roster would be seven games above .500 and in first place in late May, I’d have called you a dirty liar and/or be very curious as to what happened to the rest of the AL West. And yet, here we are. While there are still three games to be played in Houston and therefore ample opportunity for things to go pear-shaped for the Mariners in that Enron/Oxycontin-funded mockery of a modern ballpark, I remain surprisingly confident that the Mariners will either win a game or two over the weekend or bounce back in the following week.
Speaking of bold confidence, let’s check in on Volume Two of the MBI (Mariners Belief Index) from last week’s post. The LL hivemind is overall delighted, but skeptical. No surprise there.
Okay, moving along to this week’s prompt and polls.
