As the season comes to a close the Mariners find themselves on a pace to score 509 runs. That's an average of 3.15 runs per game. If this hasn't alreeady depressed you allow me to put this into context. Since the DH was added to the AL (in 1973) the lowest run total posted by any team in any season is the 1994 Califonia Angels who scored 543 runs. Oh and by the way the 1994 season was shortened to 115 games (as opposed to 162) because of strike. So we're not only on pace to claim this distinction, but we're on pace to claim it by a fairly large margin from a team that played 47 less games than we will when its all said and done.... it's ok if you want to cry now.
