Ten Games and Here's an Update

Of course, the biggest piece of news surrounds Mariners pitcher Cliff Lee and the timetable of his return. Lee has progressed at a good pace with his throws and hopes to throw a simulated game next week. He also had a two hour conference call with the league stating his case in order to appeal his suspension for throwing at Chris Snyder during spring training. While no one is sure on a specific return date, especially since the suspension hasn't been decided, it's sounding like early May may be the time to expect him pitching for the M's.

Of course, the current AL WEST STANDINGS:
