A couple of weeks ago we asked you if the Mariners will have a 5 game winning streak or a 5 game losing streak first.  You and I agreed that the Mariners would not lose 5 straight with this starting pitching, so a 5 game winning streak was expexcted.  Ooops…..the M’s limp home with a 5 game losing streak after winning only game one of their 6 game road trip.   Can the M’s get healthy against the lowly Rangers?  If not, then other teams will look forward to seeing the lowly Mariners coming to town!

Author John Feinstein will be on the Dennis Patchin Show on Thursday.  I’m almost done reading John’s new book, “Living on the Black”  John spent a season with Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina talking pitching and baseball.  Fun read so far!

Should be a fun weekend with the two above series and the Kentucky Derby.  Erik Bedard against Chien-Ming Wang tonight in Yankee Stadium.  M’s need to win 2 of 3 in this series after letting last night’s game slip away in Cleveland.  Suprising note of the day, Richie Sexson reached 100 homeruns as a Mariner faster than any other player!

With the 2-3-2 setup for home ice in the WHL Finals, it would be huge if the Chiefs could win these first two games at home.  If not, they will have to play well on the road as the did in the TC series.
