M's Quotable

Mike Hargrove

"We've got some good things going. Good lines of communication, of instruction, of work habits. You hope that in the offseason the kids keep up the lines of development we have going now. It's always interesting in training camp to see how close they have followed the regimen."

- Mike Hargrove on the M's and looking ahead to next year.

2.Cleveland (2)Somewhere, Albert Belle is glaring with pride
3.Yankees (5)Nothing overcomes a slow start quite like a $200 million payroll
4.White Sox (4)Hmmm ... Some guy with a Cubs hat and headphones has tickets for today's game
5.Boston (3)The Curse of Pokey Reese is doing its evil business
6.Angels (7)If Angels had Vlad Guerrero in '95, we might be talking about the D.C. Mariners
7.Atlanta (6)Julio Franco regales team with stories about the Boston Braves
8.Houston (9)Unfortunately, Astros' playoff run not the region's top priority
9.Oakland (8)Still lamenting the pitchers that got away ... but enough about Arthur Rhodes
10.Philadelphia (11)He's no Schmidt, but David Bell is a winner
11.Florida (10)At rate he's moving up the lineup, Dontrelle will hit cleanup next
12.Washington 12)Jose Guillen has more suspensions than the Golden Gate Bridge
13.Minnesota (13)The rumble is that Torii Hunter could be traded this winter

25.Seattle (25)Ichiro could be first to hit under .300 with 200 hits since Buckner in '85

29.Pittsburgh (29)Quick, name the Pirates manager (Hint: It sounds a lot like Mete Packanin)
