The A's bullpen looked filthy, didn't it?

The A's bullpen looked filthy, didn't it?
Back when I was playing The Sims (the first one), it never occurred to me to see if there was a way to back up my files. If I encountered a major problem with the game, I had to try and work around it as best I could. If I couldn't work around it, then I had to completely uninstall and reinstall the game.
Wrote the other three articles first ... guys I don't like as well as the M's do (just a couple), and guys that both they and I are unusually high on (scads, we were surprised to find out) ....
Q. What do you mean, the M's can't get complacent?

Jim Caple, an ESPN writer who came from Seattle, was on the radio talking about Edgar's Hall of Fame candidacy.
Q. Is it really appropriate for the Mariners to make 25-man roster decisions on Moore, Tui, Fister, Bard and White based on 30 days' performance?
For starters: when a crack M's analyst differs with us in a comment, we don't put it on the front page in a spirit of debate. What happens is that guys raise points that are so intriguing that we "elevate" the point, as they say in the corporate world.
Guys know they are free to come back at us. :- ) It's about baseball.

Picked up an issue of Baseball America off the newstand. Two 11x14 pages of 3-point font on M's prospects -- all of which have been disseminated by G and J long ago. :- )
I/O: M's hitting coach Alan Cockrell, on KIRO's Hot Stove League radio show, raves about Michael Saunders' progress as a hitter.
