The Mariners. WTF?

The Mariners. WTF?

Well, that was spectacular. From the heady days of August 25th, when the M's were three up in the wild card and only one back in the division, had won two straight in Texas, when we were all excited about Blue-za-palooza or whatever the fuck it was...to now, after 11 losses in 12 games, when we're all pretty much in wait 'till next year mode. more ›

Maxim Mag on Mariner Chief

Maxim Mag on Mariner Chief

What kind of bullshit is this? Maxim magazine ranks the worst managers in baseball and orders Dusty Baker the worst, Ron Gardenhire the second worst and our own Mike Hargrove the third worst. C'mon, Gardenhire is a way better manager than Hargrove. Mike should be at least second and we could even forgive the voting panel for favoring him with a few first place votes over Baker. With a lineup featuring the decaying corpse of Sexson, the crusty shell of Beltre, Ichiro and...uh... With a lineup featuring Sexson, Beltre and Ichiro Hargrove has backhoed the Mariners into a grudge match for last place with the Angels and a 15-21 record. If things continue on this way, and there hasn't been a lot to indicate that they won't, .500 is going to start waving hankies and calling out "bon voyage" at the Mariners because this could be the closest they'll get for awhile. Like sometime in 2007 a while. They're seriously one more injury to a key mediocre player who's been playing beneath himself away from dipping down into Kansas City Royals territory in the ESPN Power Rankings. more ›
