    Fun game (kind of), fun playoffs, fun year


    We were right there all three games against Houston who won 106 and are really good. Let’s add a bat or two and win the World Series

    We were down for a few innings in the 2nd game. At least 5.

    This series, even though a sweep, shows we can hang with em, now we gotta get bats.

    Great fucking season.

    Sorry fellas. As much as I don't care about MLB (I prefer college baseball), you all seemed so excited about this so I was rooting for ya'll.

    The future is bright with this team. Next season, I want them to beat the NYY in the ALCS!

    Seattle sports teams.
    Ugh.
    Hopefully, we have our fair share of Seahawk vs Panthers, while the rest of the nation gets Green Bay v Tampa Bay, or something like that.
    Portland IS NOT Seattle.

    Seattle the city sucks, the last time I was there our window got busted out.

    The Seattle Mariners are my team though, and this season was a fun one. I'll ride or die with Julio for the next decade, which has me excited for the future. That guy lives baseball, I can respect that.

    They led for 30 of the 36 innings.

    They made the playoffs.

    Please give me Xander bogarts or Trae turner. Gotta find a better DH, and corner outfielder too. Judge would be a dream

    They won playoff games.

    It's okay to see positives. We stood toe to toe with the best team in the AL. Casual fans will see sweeps.

    Trae turner is def. A possibility. Judge is out of the question IMO, someone is dumping a half bil to him minimum.

    Xander would be really nice but I feel like he's gonna stay in Boston.

    clearly, it’s not. They laid out big money to keep some quality young guys.

    but I don’t expect them back in the playoffs next year.
