The Seattle Rusty Trunks

USS Mariner is now in (we think) their fifth season of covering the local nine, and the boys continue to bring the goods. Today's 2007 preview is terrific, and we encourage you to read it in full. But at least read this, a declaration that the team's so mediocre, it's hard to know what they're going to do:

This team is, essentially, baseball’s version of the rusty trunk thats been stored in your grandparents home for 80 years. There’s a real chance that you could find several gold bars, one of the first photographs in american history, and the original copy of the declaration of independence. Or you might find a pair of false teeth, a hoard of rats, and a shirt containing remnants of the bubonic plague.

You won’t know until you open the trunk. We’ll find out on Monday.
