Just gotta repeat the energy of games 1/2 vs. the Yankees and we're in the world series! I'm off into the woods to cut and burn things/vent frustrations up until first pitch tomorrow. Go Jays!

The Mariners offense had been anemic for 3 games. They hadn't put up a crooked number when it mattered since game 2.
A team should be able to win a game 2-1 once in a while and you can't expect the offense to put up 6+ runs every game. The offense has been nearly record setting through the 1st two series and they had a 2-1 lead with 6 outs left to get for the crucial game 5 win.
Bad time to bring in a reliever who has been mostly scuffling for 4 months now.
