We interrupt this winning streak...
Just when I started watching the Mariners on TV -- and they've won seven games in a row -- there comes this shocking news. Obviously, there's a lot more to the story than has been revealed so far. Too bad for us casual fans who were just stepping onto the bandwagon.
UPDATE, 8:07 p.m.: At least they won his last game for him. But what the heck is going on? Health problems? Impending scandal? "Lost my passion for the game" in mid-season sounds like "spend more time with his family." Doesn't ring true.

I take Hargrove at his word. I see no sensible other reason why he'd leave in the middle of a hot streak...he certainly wouldn't be forced out, and he wouldn't voluntarily leave unless he either had family or health issues (which, thankfully, does not appear to be the case) or he was simply out of gas. My money's on the latter, although I am surprised he didn't at least stick out the season.
