The Mariners will have a losing record by the 4th of July.
 
The Mariners are now .500 and in third place in their division. They have to be top 5 on the list of worst American sports franchises.

They really have trouble hitting into the gaps and leave a lot of guys stranded on base...injuries messed them up for a month and they need left handed closers.

Their ownership haa been terrible. Maybe one of the worst groups in sports history. Bill James did in an analytical study of historically underachieving teams and the Mariners won in a landslide...... They had three of the top 50 greatest players at one time and never won a championship. And one of the saddest things is that they'd have just kept that core of players together..... a little longer..... I'm talking one or two years, would have guaranteed them a championship. Trading a gold glove first baseman who hits 35 homers a year in Tino Martinez for Sterling Hitchcock and some other nobody. That's fucking insane! You never trade young talent in baseball unless it's for like talented players BACK.... you can make lopsided trades in football and basketball because the draft gives you immediate players. The baseball draft never guarantees you anything! They literally kept the team together to guarantee that King County would build Safeco Field then started selling low. It's really a tragedy. And with Pat Gillick taking over as GM they still set a record for regular season wins. NW fans have really been f-cked over by baseball in general. Nothing ever stays permanent here. So I don't blame them if they hate the game. Just don't hate it because it's cool to do so.

I live closer to the Giants and A's than I do the Mariners, I honestly don't know why I haven't dropped that shit team in favor of either at this point. I even kind of liked both teams as a kid.

I refuse to support any Californian teams. So fuck the Giants, A's, Dodgers, Angels, and Padres!

I honestly think Ms fans are going to be happy Jerry Dipoto is their GM. They just have to give him some time. I'm not making an Olshey connection, but it may be the second time the NW stole away a great GM from a Cali team. They had one of the best drafts this year and he's not trading away all the young talent for nothing. It just takes a while to build up a system because of the hit and nature of prospects. Look at how it took KC to get their shit together. Scioscia was a moron to drive Dipoto off.

If it was any team but the Mariners, I might agree with you, but they're the Cleveland Browns of baseball, always destined to be shit.
