Felix takes the DIY approach

After watching the M's go 2-9 in the past week and a half, King Felix has apparently decided to take matters into his own hands, becoming the first AL pitcher to hit a grand slam in three decades.

While Seattlest hoped this was a divine omen of better weeks ahead for the team, our hopes were almost immediately dashed. Hernandez had to leave the game after injuring his leg while covering home a few innings later.

And so the season that plays like the next "Saw" movie continues.

From last week:

While going 1-6 at home last week, the M's were busy off the field, too. GM Bill Bavasi and Manager John McLaren were fired, and the guy who drives the team bus is starting to get a little twitchy.

The M's start the week 26-49. Yup. Still worst in the majors.
