Seattle Eliminated

August 27, 2008 Posted by Robert

The Mariners lost to the Twins today and were eliminated from contention for the AL West title, becoming the first major league team to be eliminated this year.  The Mariners are still mathematically eligible in the Wild Card race, but their elimination number is 3, making it likely that they will be completely eliminated before September even starts.  Not very good for a team with such high hopes.  Call it a minor victory, but at least it’s not the Rangers getting ousted first this year.
