So much for Ichiro's early season slump, huh?
This factoid brought to you from the AP via ESPN.com:
"Seattle became the sixth team to start a season with at least 10 straight road victories. Atlanta was the last club to do it in 1994. The Mariners also tied the '94 Braves for the fifth-longest winning streak on road to open the season. The 1984 Detroit Tigers hold the record with 17 road wins."
And yes, I picked the A's to win the division. D'oh!

That's true, but this is going to be the M's year. They're still winning games without the heart and soul of there team, Edgar Martinez. Not only that their 10 games on the road were all against Western foes...GO BLUE!

Q: If you could have interviewed Marvin Gaye, where would you have proposed to meet and what would you have asked him?
A: I would have met anywhere as long as it was before his father shot him. I would have asked him, "Hey, don't you think there's some chance that your father might shoot you? To death, I mean?"

| #5 Posted on 23.4.02 2317.27 | While the M's are playing great, I think it is unfair to compare them to last years team already. We are only 20 or so games into the season, and way too much can happen between now and then. Cleveland has already had a 10 game winning streak and 6 game losing streak. The M's are hot now for sure, but I think they will cool off eventually. Of course I said that all last year too.

| #7 Posted on 24.4.02 0205.26 | I'm not sure if they can top it, but right now they are TEARING through their own division. They're winning everything...1-0 games, blowouts, this is a team built on chemistry. Lou is also playing NL ball in the AL and it's been working.
