    Were you molested by a catchers mitt as a youth or something?

    No ma’am/sir. I just like it when my sporting events don’t put me to sleep or its fans. Maybe if they played MORE games I’d like it.

    JP is the tying run coming up in the ninth. Can he do it again? Otherwise, we can just stick a trident in 'em.

    Fuck this shit. Season over. Arizona lost 1-0. Reds lost earlier so Arizona already made playoffs, so they probably just punted the game.

    Fuck this team. Fuck this horrible ass 6-9 in this batting order. So many holes. Not good enough.

    I think that is all she wrote. no post-season. Jerry did jack shit to improve the offense. Basically shopping at the dollar store for a gourmet meal. All he got was corned beef hash/creamed chip beef combo can.

    if the Twins didn't stink so bad, Seattle hitters would be worst in AL strikeouts by a big margin.

    Fire all the batting coaches, get some better pros, quit dinking around with triple A Tacoma.

    Best pitching staff in FOREVER, the Mariners are so close to domination. Quit moneyballing Seattle !!
    Spend, Spend, Spend... WIN

    Throw the fucking book at Ohtani. He's only hitting next year. Lock him up now.

    Put an Angels logo on the Space Needle. Whatever it takes to get Ohtani.

    Mariners catcher then had to publicly apologize for his eye raising end of year comments.

    Similar to Kirby making public apology, after saying he was toast, and the Skipper made him throw 100+ pitches.

    you be good Mariner and tell everyone you're sorry

    freaking double speak.

    "I can’t speak for him, (Cal), he wants to get better… we all do. Whether that is by way of a big-name player, you know, there are a number of teams that are evidence that that might not be the only way you can build a roster."

    -- the Mariners haven't even tried to add a monster hitter to the clubhouse since Robinson Cano. That was 6 years ago !!

    • we'll probably just keep using what he have.
    • we're excited about Spring Training {facepalm}
    • no plans to make any coaching changes.

    those are not pleasant bullet points for a Mariners team 50m under the max salary cap. A team who obviously needs more punch on the roster.

    Seattle is outside looking in to becoming World Series contenders. Literally just a few big moves away from bringing home the trophy.

    Is this Dipoto guy trying to piss off fans even worse? Championship era's don't grow on trees in baseball.
    Use it or lose it Seattle.

    JD said no dice to FAs and M's fans are "lucky". He is running it back next year.

    the Brewers are choking. It'll be up to the Bucks to win a championship for Milwaukee.

    Who knew there could be a worse GM than Neil Olshey in sports.

    And this dude won a world series as a GM! And he still might be worse.

    Fuck this guy. Fucking idiot

    back on July 29th, here's an exert from a Dipoto GM radio interview. The Mariners were 53-51.

    - “Some of the struggle that we have had is simply on me,” said Dipoto on his weekly radio show on Seattle Sports 710 AM, mentioning that the team’s younger players would inevitably endure some “bumps in the road.” ... "I didn’t do a good enough job of building a group around that core to support the bumps and the bruises."

    so Cal Raleigh had to publicly apologize for something the GM had already publicly apologized for. . . That just doesn't make any sense.
