After being pushed to the brink of elimination just a few games ago, Seattle has now won 3 consecutive games... and 5 of their last 14... all of which has the Mariners thinking "playoffs"!

If Seattle extends their winning streak by just another 29 games, and if California manages to lose each of their last 31 games, the Mariners would find themselves in a one game playoff for the American League West division title.

Ken Phelps believes Seattle can do it... Manager Jeff Sullivan believes Seattle can do it... All 168 Mariner fans across the nation believe Seattle can do it.

Do you believe in miracles? Stay tuned!
