May '04: Mariners up to more of the same
The month of May wasn't as bad as April, but it wasn't much better. Seattle finished the month at 11-16 (In April they finished at 8-15). The bullpen went up and down and the bats were hit and miss.

But there were positives. Raul Ibanez continued to hit clutch for the Mariners, Freddy floated on with his hot pitching and "Everyday" Eddie Guardado is still the man when it comes to saves.

May photo gallery The story for the M's in May was more of the same. Some ups, some downs and a lot of question marks.

THE GOOD
	· Everything rollin' for M's in 12-2 win over Tigers · Tale of two games: M's get 4-3 win in 16 innings · Mariners unload on Yankees after 13 innings · Seattle gets first shutout of the season · M's go three in a row

THE BAD
	· Mussina silences bats vs. Mariners · Seattle can't do anything right against Baltimore · Seattle rally falls short in Boston

THE UGLY
	· Yankees come back big on M's · Bullpen blows it, Tigers beat M's 8-4
