April 11, 200422 yr Yes they can. Just like the Tigers winning their first 4 games dosent mean much because its just 4 games...the Mariners losing their first 5 games dosent mean anything. And we know that they are going to lose 5 games in a row during the season...so just because they start off by losing their first 5 games dosent mean that they will be this bad the whole year. They are a good team-dont say that they are going to have a bad year because of their first 5 games. The Florida Marlins last year were horrible...but than they got good...so that shows that you can have a bad start than still win it all.
April 11, 200422 yr oakland and anaheim will compete for those honors. Edgar Martinez can only do so much...and Moyer.
April 11, 200422 yr No, an 0-5 start is not terribly indicative. That they're 0-5 against the Angels and Athletics is. The Mariners aren't terrible, but they're clearly not up to competing with Oakland and Anaheim. Their lineup just isn't good enough, and their starting pitching is spotty.
April 11, 200422 yr how can someone have so many freakin teams? jeez GiantsFan, might I suggest the Cincinnati Reds? They're off to a hot start, and Griffey used to play for the Mariners.
April 11, 200422 yr I wouldn't lose any sleep over this. We havent even played a full week of games yet!
April 11, 200422 yr The Mariners won't come back from this start, however the reason why they won't isn't the 0-5 start, after all the season is 162 games. The reason the mariners won't come back is that they aren't a very good team.
April 11, 200422 yr The reason the mariners won't come back is that they aren't a very good team. Deep analysis from Craig. I agree though.
April 11, 200422 yr in addition to not being good they are old...and for some reason keep soriano in the pen...
April 11, 200422 yr how can someone have so many freakin teams? jeez GiantsFan, might I suggest the Cincinnati Reds? They're off to a hot start, and Griffey used to play for the Mariners. I don't need anyone jumping on my Red's bandwagon!

April 12, 200422 yr M's won today ... 4-9 against the A's ... had to waste a great outing by Mulder... grrrrrrr i needed that win
April 12, 200422 yr I think that they will bounce back from this. However I think that they will be the odd team out this season, just like last season. They are good. Our starting pitchers as well as out bullpen is pretty good. We have good hitters too. What I think is thay they might get tired the second half of the season and our bats will quite down, which will not be good. Anaheim has a really great team and from what I've seen when Anaheim played against the Mariners, they definally have what it takes to win the division.
