will remain mediocre, even though their fans have been fapping about how 2015 is going to be special and they're going to make it to the playoffs.

    Is this where I can complain about the fags who say, "Only 45 days until pitchers and catchers report!"

    I wish this stupid-ass team would have moved to Tampa in the early 90's.

    If it were between that and the Sonics moving to Jokelahoma, I agree.

    On paper they should be a playoff team (possibly the best in the division)
    But somehow, someway they'll fuck it up

    I won't give two shits even if they win a World Series. The only bad thing about them going to the playoffs and (a very long long shot) winning a World Series is the local buffoon fans and media turds won't stop talking about them. The sooner they go below .500 or get thumped out of the playoffs, the better.

    Lol at M's fans expecting playoffs or bust. The team does look better, but this hasn't exactly been a successful organization. Yankees and Red Sox fans can be disappointed if their team doesn't make the playoffs, M's fans cannot.

    I get that. But if you simply compare the rosters, the mariners should be a playoff team.
    If they miss the playoffs it's a failed season

    I think it's very possible that the M's overachieved last year and revert back to being an under .500 team. Overachieved is probably the wrong word, but they are typically so bad that I will use it. I'm still scarred by the 2010 season when they acquired Cliff Lee after a winning record in 2009.

    I'm not sure where you're expecting the regression. Who had years last year that would make you say "wow, they really out performed their normal ability level?"

    We are talking about the Mariners. Questions at shortstop, first base, and the outfield. Cano's power decline is at least a little concerning.

    Felix reverts back to a 3.00 ERA instead of 2.30. Iwakuma was terrible in September. Walker and Paxton are still unproven and Paxton has been injury prone. Chris Young was pretty valuable last season. The bullpen was outstanding last year. They likely take a step back.

    They might be better, but there are still tons of question marks. I get why they will be better. Oakland rebuilding helps too. We will see what happens.

    I don't think the pitching can sustain that type of success. I'm just used to being disappointed.

    Someone mentioned a while back a truth that hurts. If the Mariners didn't win one with griffey, edgar, arod, and Randy, they never will.

    Problem is that the Mariners of that time period were not only too cheap to build up the depth that they needed, but they also were way behind in recognizing the future of the game.

    The case in point of that was the Tino Martinez trade for Russ Davis and Sterling Hitchcock. No huge problems with that deal as it was set up ... but huge problems in including Jeff Nelson in that deal. But then again, that's why the Yankees are the Yankees (at least at that point in time).
