The Mariners lost their 11th straight game Wednesday night at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 11-6, their 15th loss in 20 games. This marks their longest skid since back in 2008 when they dropped 12 consecutive games... which isn't looking like it's going to be the record.
Things were looking up right away in the first inning when the M's loaded the bases off Brandon Morrow with no one out, but of course, failed to score. They've managed five runs in back-to-back games now for the first time since June 2 and 3 - both of which they won against the Tampa Bay Rays - but it apparently wasn't enough against the Jays.
Let's see if Seattle can manage to halt this streak of suckiness, or tie their all-time record for consecutive losses. I'm gonna go with the latter this afternoon, only because Doug Fister is on the hill against Ricky Romero, who's had career luck against everyone in the order other than Ichiro... which goes without saying.

They're down 5-1 in the 8th... looks like you called it.
They just tied it up!!!
Nevermind.
I would not be surprised right now if this team doesn't win a game on this entire road trip.
If that happens, I sense that Eric Wedge could be shown the door. These are hard times in the Emerald City. The Mariners are sucking, and the Sounders FC got their butts handed to them last night 7-0.
Poor Ichiro.
