He isn't on the Mariners 2001 roster in this game.

This is the worst timeline imaginable, save the one where the M’s win all those games and then lose the ALCS to the Yankees!

[Syd Thrift]

dola,

I looked it up and Gil "Ga" Meche was out all of 2001 with (if memory serves) Tommy John surgery. He really *should* be on the M's roster, just unable to play until 2002.

I’m lurking here more than I thought I’d be.

It’s always stunning to me that this team won 116. They were a great team, and had several guys with career years. But the that lineup winning 116 doesn’t compute. It’s so bizarre. I’m interested to see how this version finishes
