    Mariners ownership doesn't want a winning team because it breeds classless, thuggish fans that will just cause problems at games. A good family atmosphere is much better than winning.

    I know that's sarcasm but they legitimately care more about the ballpark experience than winning ball games

    Matches the expectations of the Seattle scarve-wearing hipsters who watch that cesspool of a team.

    it doesn't look like they're going to make any more moves. So the lineup is probably going to be
    1. Miller SS
    2. Seager 3B
    3. Cano 2B
    4. Hart DH
    decent 1-2-3-4
    then the fucking dreckfest begins
    5. Morrison LF
    6. Smoak 1B (this loser should've been gone 2 years ago)
    7. Zunino C
    8. Ackley CF
    9. Romero RF

    SP:
    Hernandez
    Iwakuma
    Walker
    Paxton
    #5 will be the only move they make
    Rotation isn't horrible

    Bullpen is awful, not one player in the pen isn't making limited salary, could've easily signed a Downs, or a Boone Logan, or a Balfour for barely over 5 million.

    the best I can see is 78-86

    Exactly. They've hyped rally fries and kiddie nonsense for a long time, probably getting back to the late 90s, but back then they were actually winning and making the playoffs. At this pt. even some of the Marineroogs? can see they only care about profit. I fell for the b******* in the 2009-2010 offseason. They were coming off of a winning year and the FA acquisitions were supposed to make them a 90 won team. Then they bombed in April. Anyone who falls for their smokescreen deserves to pay for 10 dollar beers and listen to Fleenor for the rest of their life

    I thought they had reached an alltime low but I saw the other day they're doing Macklemore bobble head night. I'm a baseball fan, it was my first passion as a kid when it came to sports. I try to support them but they make it really tough

    Great 164 game season as always.
