Mariners First $100M Team To 100 Losses?
Stephen Nelson, formerly of Mariners Wheelhouse, dropped me a line recently to point out an interesting fact: the M's might be the first $100M payroll team to reach 100 losses. Zach Greinke of the Royals held the M's scoreless through seven, and Kansas City pitching generally limited the team to three hits. With Jarrod Washburn shut down due to an abdominal injury, and one of their key RBI men, Adrian Beltre, down for the season due to shoulder and hand injuries, the M's are looking pretty weak.
Seattle is currently 57-95; to reach 100 losses they would have to lose five of their remaining ten games, four of which are against the Angels. From division contender to August elimination to possibly the worst dollars-per-win figure in major league baseball history. Wow.

Seattle has 10 games left
So they can go 5-5 and still get 100 losses.
That would be awesome.

Boy do they suck
Forecast for 2009? Suck.
The Angels may have beat them 8 times in a row, but winning three before they do is all that matters.

Penthouse to outhouse in what seemed like 10 seconds.
It must really hurt to be a loyal Mariner fan.
