The Seattle Mariners rattled off another series win against a good team, improving to 16-9 on the month and climbing within 4.5 games of two wild card spots and 5.5 of the division. But despite this, the front office remains silent and has given little indication they want to add to the big league club. Colby decides it is time to call BS on that approach.

It was a glorious end to a frustrating first half for the Seattle Mariners.
