Mariners are not a basement team on paper but they have been pretty bad this season and then injury ridden offense during the game.
I am not concerned of that loss, Raleigh just has our number, and our B-team bullpen just didn't have it. And after the streak we put up, it is what it is.
The games that are aggravating losses, this season for me, were the Yankees game, one of the Astros game and last night's game - where we had all the pieces going, but we gave it away. Also, the ump last night didn't help.
As for Sox being better than they are, Rays swept them in a 4-game series, Orioles took 2 of 3.
We can compare teams instead of overall standings to gauge our record. Let's hope we take 3 out of 4, cause 2-2 would put us behind Rays and Os in terms of win% against Sox.
