Damn it! The M's need a little winning streak somewhere along the line. They need to win 5 in a row, or 6 out of 7, or 7 out of 8 at some point. Maybe they just don't have that in them? Maybe it's always going to be more incremental success that keeps this team hanging around, if it does continue to do so? It seems they're always in danger of slipping back. You need such a streak at some point methinks to buy yourself a little breathing room.
Oh well. They're still doing quite well, all things considered. It's just that now we're looking at the last game of this series, and I feel like we've got to win it. I'm amazed by how long this team has remained in this limbo-zone, not quite able to make a push up into first place, and not quite falling back far enough from it to fold your hand on the idea of doing so.
So little margin for error with this team.
