What is the Mariner version of a doog?

When you find an example post it then we can discuss.

It's been 21 years since they mattered. The franchise has very few diehard fans left. Who cares about if someone is or is not a real fan or delusional about winning the world series? Imagine caring for 162 games each year. It's hard.MikeDamone said:What is the Mariner version of a doog?

Moogs is the answer
I followed close through 2002 or so
I'm guilty as fuck for jumping on this year when
EVERYONE SCORES part 2 against the Jays

Is watching because it's fun and you hope they win mooging? -
I actually think this is year 1 of them mattering for a stretch of years to come, if baseball is something you care about.MikeDamone said:

The Black Sox scandal really turned me off
But seriously I grew up in the golden era of integrated baseball and always watched the Series. The Mariners like the Hawks came when I was 20. They were never really my teams until they won
Sometime around the Yankees last title I stopped watching. Didn't even watch my Dodgers. Trout and the Angels were also my local team on TV the last decade. Didn't care
Not sure why -

Of course there's no need for the "lately" qualifier when it comes to the Ms. -

Yet here you are, with nothing to add except that. Watching it is boring, but you must be exceptionally bored to come to the Ms thread to announce it.PurpleThrobber said:

i have to be honest, i have greatly enjoyed the mariners season and I look forward to the next few years.
Of course, they will probably find a way to hit a new rock bottom starting next year, but 2022 was still fun. -
I have had a tough time getting into it, which is fine. (For some reason I now lack patience to watch a baseball game).phineas said:i have to be honest, i have greatly enjoyed the mariners season and I look forward to the next few years.

My step-dad says that no matter what happens today he has had a blast this year and loves this team. -
They've built a good team. It still needs a shot in the arm to get over the hump, but they did the hardest part by securing 4 really good arms for the near future. Even Ray is still a good rotation arm.DerekJohnson said:

I wouldn't try convincing anyone to watch more. I only saw 12-15 of their games including the playoffs. -
Meh it’s about progress.
Yes I get it they didn’t win the World Series and if they suck next year which is definately in the cards then this season is pointless.
Don’t see why you can’t point out actual progress. They have a good foundation, let’s see if they open up the checkbook next year. -
-
They've been opening it up. They have three big contract guys now but have been smart and left room for more. They have an opening at 2b again and I hope they find someone better than Frazier this time. Then they have to upgrade the outfield and quit waiting on Haniger or Kyle Lewis to stay healthy or Kelenic to figure it out.CuntWaffle said:Meh it’s about progress.

Offseason WS title incoming... -
Should concern Ms fans the lack of sour grapes from the players and coaching staff. No gut punch. No heartache. No mention of sleeping in the office, new training regimen, new attitude.
"Fun. Going to be fun next year!" Heard that in 95. Clemson like trajectory? Here you are. -

But yeah, the endless positivity is irritating, even as I catch myself indulging in it. I dont think it means fuckall in terms of what happens on the field, but it's still irritating. -
#MyPadres looking strong.

They are tough. They can pitch and hit home runs.YellowSnow said:#MyPadres looking strong.
It's crazy to see the Dodgers and Braves both out of the NLCS.
I think anyone other than NY/Cleveland can win it. That probably means it will be the yanks. -
Clemson won it all, and maybe they conflated "Fun" with "Easy"...It's why it is so hard to repeat. The M's played the Astros pretty even, and couldn't come through when it counted. IMO, the Astros are the best club in the game, and the M's went toe-to-toe with them.Baseman said:Should concern Ms fans the lack of sour grapes from the players and coaching staff. No gut punch.

There are plenty of sour grapes, but "Not in the middle of the store"...Don't think it doesn't impact potential free-agents, it does. Culture is important, now more than ever. Winning creates it. They need a couple more pieces, obviously, but the young core now has experienced it, and that is a big step.
Baseball players know when they suck, more than anyone else, every day. It's part of the game. Playoffs are about who's hot and who's not, players and teams. They were close, didn't finish, and they know that. (Sark "We just ran out of tim" POTD)...
Now, on to the "All we need to do is to sign Judge, Ohtani, Trea Turner, Joe Morgan, and Ted Williams' cryogenically frozen head" off-season...
ATBS, I can't recall a game where, for 18 innings, that I have seen that much dominant pitching, execution-wise, on both sides. I was entertained, and I fucking loved it...
My 2 cents...

Looks like Divish just spilled the beans on Winker...no work ethic, on his own program. I liked the acquisition at the time, and assumed he was hurt most of the year...that's what I get for assuming...He gone
-
It's what I figured. He's extremely talented but not serious enough. I saw it early on but hoped he'd get his head on straight. Too bad. I watched his highlights about 10 times and he is fun to watch hit when he's on.Fishpo31 said:Looks like Divish just spilled the beans on Winker...no work ethic, on his own program.

They have a Haggerty-Kelenic platoon (the playoff plan before Hag got hurt), and ship Winker somewhere for a bag of BP balls...He has ability, but I can remember early on thinking that he looked different than a typical big leaguer, as in under-developed physically. Red flag, I should have trusted my gut.
Edit: I just realized something: I literally had no idea who Eugenio Suarez was before this year...We are Salary-Dump Champions! -
I think the Friars (ILTCTTF, IWILTD) may be the only club that could give the Astros a run for the money…YellowSnow said:#MyPadres looking strong.

I went to Game 1 of the World Series in 1984 and went to middle school with Tony Gwynn's kid so I get to say we? are gonna win!Fishpo31 said:
