Okay, I'll admit it. I came into the season thinking the Mariners would give the Angels a run for their money at the division crown. It was foolish of me to be so optimistic, especially with the horrible way (I knew and know even more now) that our team is run. But you can't blame me, right? I mean, other people were saying that too including a bunch of sportswriters. So now, I officially announce (well, maybe not actually officially) that the Mariners are dropping the chase! Good luck in beating the A's!

No. No they didn't.

But hey, at least Strasburg will be ours!

You'll screw that up also.

Look for the Mariners to sweep the Padres. The Mariners are so pathetic they can not even lose properly.

Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.

I wouldn’t say it was silly. I totally had that same thought in mind. Heck, I’m sure most of us wouldn’t’ve expected that the As are holding up and you guys were down in the cellar already…

Sucks. I really did enjoy that tenseful time two months before the end…. it was fun. And intense!! >:O

Still. It’s only May. Anything is posssssible. (Not that I want it to happen, but still.)

Chart it up! Game on!

Hows Wladimir Balentien doin?

I always thought he would be better than Adam Jones. I know your probably gonna say “Go check the stats” but there are things that you see on TV that dont translate into stats.

Oh and I too thought the M’s would give us a run for our money this year. I never saw the A’s playing so good.

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His contact sucks, but one third of his hits

have been homers. Has a K:BB ratio of 19:3.

YOU ARE PATHETIC, COACH OWENS

don’t give up
your team sucks
but you should still believe
mathmatatics has not yet eliminated you
i’d boycott the rev if he ever gave up like you
reality be damned
love your boys, crash and burn with them
if you hate the management, curse them
not your champions
in ‘84 & ‘85 i thought we’d prevail
until the royals dashed those hopes with mathmatical precision
be a fan (fanatic) not a real (realist)
stop posting reality here
we know you won’t beat us
praise your boys
there’s no love for you here
‘95’s elimination is your claim to fame
revel in your glorious elimination
you got to play a week longer than we did that year
we regrouped, refortified
we are THE team in this division
keep giving us early season “challenges”
April chores can only help our mind-set
good-night and settle into your gray world of mediocrity

Who goofed? I've got to know.

you guys would be right back in it with....

the addition of GMJ & Quinlin. Ha, just kidding, I like those guys too much to send them to Seattle.

What do you want from us?

Pity?
Moral support?
To give you a hug and tell you it’ll be alright?

I think you’re in the wrong place. Again.

(though if you could do us a favour and take a few games off of Oakland, I might stretch to a bit of pity)

I see red people

Ah, the bi-polarity of Seattilians

You left out “suicide” from your list o’ adjectives.

After the Bedard trade and the Lackey/Escobar trade

It sure was fun listening to Seattle fan tell us the division was theirs. Without our two best pitchers Seattle still can not carry our jock…...pathetic.
