The Seattle Mariners - after dropping to 2-6, and all the while playing without Cliff Lee and Erik Bedard - are three up on Texas, one up on LAnaheim, and tied with Oakland for first place in the division.
Granted, we haven't yet had to face the Yankees like everyone else, but this seems like something to celebrate. The division leaders as of this moment:
Yankees
Twins
Mariners/A's
Phillies
Cardinals
Padres
Everything seems to be in normal order. Yep. Normal order, indeed. Nothing weird here.

Words cannot express how good it feels
to not see the Angels up there, at ANY point in the season.
McExpos - April 22, 2010
Thank Brian Fuentes for that.
Hopefulmsfan - April 22, 2010
I have a feeling I'm going to have a wet dream tonight thinking about Cliff Lee pitching in a Mariner uniform at Safeco
It’ll be my first one since last night when I thought about it
blueside714 - April 22, 2010
Just thinking about Cliff Lee and Erik Bedard gave me a hard on.

Just thinking about Felix, Lee, and Bedard pitching back-to-back-to-back made me have an accident in my pants
hiskeyd - April 22, 2010
Your guys' fanhood is weird
DrunkAmerican - April 22, 2010
Nope, totally normal.
LonelyintheBleachers - April 22, 2010
In case someone else is wondering...
my doctor informed me that there is no need for alarm for any erection lasting longer than 4 hours when it is caused by thinking of the upcoming Mariners rotation.
Rich Langford - April 22, 2010
I think about Felix's penis.

Is this a good time to mention that our Doily% is running at a robust 40%?
EnglishMariner - April 22, 2010
Hah, the Padres will be World Series champs. Mark my words.
Coach Owens - April 22, 2010
What a sweet world series it will be! Us versus our natural rivals!
joof - April 22, 2010
GOD!
If the Padres beat us in the World Series, I will grow to hate them with every bone in my body over the course of seven games. Fuck that scenario.
harkening - April 22, 2010
I could live with the Pads beating us in the World Series
Considering I’m a San Diego native and all
Kouvre - April 22, 2010
At least it would give us a real rivalry!
But considering both cities they’d probably want to share the trophy.
OceanBird - April 22, 2010
Behold the Mariners,, Destroyer of worlds
OlSalty - April 22, 2010
Odd coincidence, I was just saying the same thing about Jack Wilsons defence.
Kermit. - April 22, 2010
Kinda goes with the Guti thing too. Death and the Destoyer.
the other side - April 22, 2010
This is how you make the playoffs
Beat up on the crappy teams, survive against the good teams.
Next up: White Sox and Royals.
I want a little cushion before the harder games start.
phil333 - April 22, 2010
Careful
I recall a hope-destroying ChiSox series last spring.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 22, 2010
The White Sox lost 12-0 to the Rays last night with Buehrle pitching.
JY - April 22, 2010
Oh I'll never be cocky as a Mariners fan
I’m just saying they need to get the job done
phil333 - April 22, 2010
They lost 2 out of 3, and a half-game lead
Felix pitched an awesome game, Jaku lost a 2-1 game.
I don’t think this qualifies as hope-destroying, except that they had to spend a whole day at the Cell, thanks to a double-header.
yuniform - April 22, 2010
i Viva Los Marineros !
waldo rojas - April 22, 2010
I'm really liking our chances
Based on the fact that we are the only team in the division that isn’t totally gay bones.
TheBishop - April 22, 2010 via mobile
Gay stuff has magic
Evidence: A’s from 2000 up until now.
OceanBird - April 22, 2010
The west is weird.
Maybe it’s because we’re farther away from that huge cloud of ash.
thehemogoblin - April 22, 2010
I don't mind if my wife thinks about Cliff Lee or Felix when we have sex,
because I am thinking about them too.
Poulsbo Lumberjax - April 22, 2010
At what point do the sex jokes just get awkward?
I’m not saying we’re there yet, but we’ve gotta be getting close.
BigR - April 22, 2010
Whenever EnglishMariner says so
Jeff Sullivan - April 22, 2010
Wow we are headed down a deep, dark path
OlSalty - April 22, 2010
It was one of those old Chuck Norris facts...
Sorry folks!
Poulsbo Lumberjax - April 23, 2010
So much for first place!
Jeff Sullivan - April 22, 2010
Good job Yankees, you assholes
Gihyou - April 22, 2010
They tried.
They turned a triple play and everything.
Llewdor - April 22, 2010
Apparently A-Rod and Braden got into quite the screaming match
Wonder what it was over
phil333 - April 22, 2010
A-Rod crossed the pitching mound
jogging back to first after a foul ball.
el generico - April 22, 2010
bastard
Rollo Tomasi - April 22, 2010
Braden yelled.
Alex did this really pissy hand flip-flap to indicate how little he cared.
Braden postgame: "You know it’s a shame because that guy is a tremendous talent, a superstar in every sense of the word, plays for a classy organization who always do the right things, first class all the way every time. For him not to understand the baseball etiquette of running across that pitchers mound is right next to terrible. I am not a speck on his radar and that is fine but I know I was out there and he will know not to do that again because there will be repercussions if it happens again.’’
msb - April 22, 2010
A rookie (basically) telling one of the greatest players of all time he doesn't understand baseball etiquette?
Seems a little backwards to me… What made me mad on this one is that I actually had to side with A-rod here. Stupid Braden…
hiskeyd - April 23, 2010
Or what, you'll hit him with a twelve mph 'fastball'?
