Eric Young on BBTN:
"The Mariner's are going to slug their way to the American League title."Ok let me get this straight...
The
Seattle Mariners (4.9 runs per game) are going to "slug" their way past the
New York Yankees (5.9 runs per game), the
Boston Red Sox (5.1 runs per game), the
Los Angeles Angels (5.2 runs per game), and the
Cleveland Indians (5.0 runs per game).
The
Seattle Mariners (109 homeruns) are going to "slug" their way past the
New York Yankees (145 homeruns), the
Boston Red Sox (114 homeruns), the
Detroit Tigers (137 homeruns), and the
Cleveland Indians (134 homeruns).
My prediction: The
Seattle Mariners (starting pitcher W/L record of 42-43), won't pitch themselves out of 2nd place, let alone get into the playoffs. Hell, maybe EY's basing their whole future off Sexon's 18th homerun today
(he's hitting .206, .300 OBP, .399 SLG, .699 OPS [very very bad in all 4 cats]). Or maybe he's banking on Jeff "Dream" Weaver
(4-10, 5.64 ERA and a WHIP of 1.5+) throwing CG Shutouts everytime he goes out there.
Keep on sluggin', M's.

*Note: The above note is false. Eric Young did attend Rutgers but I'm sure he didn't really "attend", since he was an athlete and all.
