Mariners are in race … to see who gets 100 losses first |
Not sure what there is to be excited about in the Mariners race to having $100+ million payroll and being a mere 6 games away from an abysmal 100+ loss season, but I find myself tuning in to root for them to please, please, please not lose.
They play 9 more games and can only afford to lose 3 of them to stay at 99 or less losses for the season. Having lost the last 9 in a row, I think it’s safe to say that statistically odds are they will win at least some of the remaining games. This season has been a real mess though save for hard working players like Ibanez, that is a free agent at the end of the season and likely to move to greener pastures. Ichiro got his 200 knocks as well, tieing a record from the 1800s.
Don’t want to sound all fair weather fan here with this post, but the Seahawks aren’t off to a good start (0-2), nor are the Huskies (0-3) or Cougars (0-3). That’s 0-8 for the first time ever. Yes, it rains in Seattle, but we’ve had enough rain. It’s time for sunshine in the win column.
Did this post make you go hmm?

I feel for ya TDavid. The fins are 0-2 and FIU is now 0-3. At least the Marlins were in the race for awhile.

Unlike other years - when the Mariners have been decent in the spring and then faded in the summer, this year they started slow and then faded quickly.
I was happy to note this morning that they dropped below Washington in wins and are now the worst team in baseball. I’m hoping that they’ll stay there because I think if you’re going to be bad, you should try to be truly bad.

But you have the Rays doing really well, FranciscoIV.
Eric - lol, good point.

Oh the Rays are in Tampa, another country from Miami….

Must be nice to have multiple teams in the same league in the same state. We don’t know anything about that in Washington State
Heck, our neighbors to south Oregon and east Idaho (and Montana) don’t even have one MLB team to root for (or despise).

We’ve been ultra-disappointed this year. Neither the Mariners nor the Yankees played well (although we did enjoy the last game at Yankee Stadium). Seahawks don’t look good for Holmgren’s farewell season. We’ll see, I guess.
Hey, no CAPTCHA!
