What a difference a month makes.
In early August Seattle rolled into Houston like a team on a mission. The Mariners were sitting 5 or 6 back with the A's, both looking up at the Astros, but with a real chance to make a move.
Lo! Seattle took four from Houston and looked like it was making the mother of all moves into real contention in the AL West.
But then, as is the fate of Seattle every season, the fade started. Meanwhile the A's and the Astros kept the pressure on.
The dog days bit Seattle plenty hard.
The Mariners get their last crack at the Astros tonight in Houston, and the scenario is different this time. Houston is playing to keep Oakland at bay.
Seattle is looking for pitching from its minor league system.
