yah, the author loses a lot credibility by not knowing the AL standings. Even though he was correct in that the Twins offense is not that good and the M's management is horrendous.

OBP explains why until last night the M's were lucky to score a run per game. Crap, the Twins are doing good. My bad.

Clever idea (if a bit strained...), but terrible evidence. As the last commenter notes, the TWINS ARE IN FIRST PLACE, and the Royals are doing much better than anyone predicted. OBP is the least of the Mariners problems. The problem has been a terrible bullpen, a few players who got worse (Wilkerson/Vidro), and a few who are slumping (Johjima)

Most of all, the M's have picked up the unfortunate Neocon habit of maintaining a dogmatic (losing) strategy despite mounting evidence that there's a better way to do it. I'm also confident the author meant to call the MN squad the AL Cenral leading Twins.
