M's 9-1 is the 2nd best in the MLB. This is the year! Deep run, like a .525 season. I think they have a shot for winning it all every year, but this start looks good.

I have not seen this much effort out of the team since lou piniella Undefeated on the road - 2nd highest runs scored so far! Yes it Is just cactus league, but its rare that the M's are the winners at anything so I am taking it.

They're hitting the long ball this spring, fences at the Safe have been moved in too. Yup, you can't talk me out of it. I'm excited!

I think the chances of the Mariners winning something still is as remote as Ichiro going into profanity laced tirade during an interview without a translator.

The importance and relevance of baseball spring training games makes the preseason in other sports seem like playoff games. None of any of this matters at all.

.525 season = 85 wins. If things break well enough I could maybe see 85 wins happening, but 85 wins being enough to win the West or a wildcard would be stunning.
I expect more like 78-80 wins.

Not exactly true. The record doesnt mean much, but the individual performances can be encouraging (or misleading).
Ackley. Montero and Smoak are hitting well against MLB pitchers(not just the AAA ones). Thats good. Our young pitching prospects are hitting high velocity with great command. Thats encouraging.
Morales and Bay are acting like professional hitters. Thats good.
Being 9-1 (the only loss was a charity game) is fun, but as you said matters little. But there is alot of encouragement in the performances of key guys. Weve hit 22 HRs in 10 games, tops in the MLB. For a team that couldnt golf a ball past the pitchers mound in the air last year and has just moved the fences in this is a good sign.
Im not saying 85 wins. But competitive baseball may be a real possibility.

eh, they're not tricking me again.. they do this every year.. come out of the gate and play competative ball, then after a couple 2,3 weeks the bats go away as does the offense... and felix is forced to win games 1 - 2 0r 1 -0... but i hope i'm right.

They will be much improved this year. I'd say at least 85 wins this year.

The Mariners have been spring training champions in the past only to stink it up come regular season.
At any rate, hope burns eternal.
