If Only....

Since the Mariners Eleven Game Losing Streak of Doom, they have gone 13-7. Just prior to the EGLSoD, they had gone 11-7 (13-11 since the AS Break).

If you throw out the EGLSoD, they Mariners would be 69-64. Projected to a full season, that's an 84 win team. Not good enough to win the division, but probably good enough to be extremely encouraging.

On the other hand, an 84 win team is probably good enough to let Hargrove and Bavasi keep their jobs. Its probably good enough to have kept Jamie Moyer. Its probably good enough to offer Gil Meche a 3 year contract.

Of course you can't take it away, it happened. As painful as it was, I guess it wasn't all bad though.
