The 2005 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished 4th in the AL West, 26 games back. They spent 6 of 182 days in first place, led by as many as 0.5 games on April 4 and were as far as 26 games back on October 2. Their best month was March/April at 12-12, their worst May at 9-18. The longest runs were a 4-game winning streak from July 7 to July 10 and a 7-game losing streak from April 30 to May 8. They were 39-42 at home and 30-51 on the road, 26-23 in one-run games and 41-58 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 14-5 at the Padres on June 24; the heaviest defeat, 9-1 against the Angels on August 13.
Record by month. March games count toward April, October’s toward September.

American League West, 2005. Games back of the best record in the division.
The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 165 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Seattle Mariners are 69-93, a .426 win rate, while their -52 run differential implies .467. That is about 7 wins behind it, which tends to regress upward.
