BLACCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKOUT!
Things have gotten so bad that I've had to quote that terrible band Hed(pe).
Sure, the Mariners are only 2 games behind the A's in the American League West. But they are a half game behind the Red Sox in the wild card race, and guess what? If the playoffs started tomorrow afternoon, the M's would be sitting at home watching Step By Step reruns on ABC Family.
Look, I hope that the Mariners pick it up. But there's that thing called a TRACK RECORD, and judging by that, things aren't looking so good for your favorite baseball club in the whole wide world (cue Opie and the Beaver here).
If it weren't for Tony Pena in Kansas City, I would vote for Lou Piniella as the A.L. Manager of the Year. What he's done with that Devil Rays ballclub has been remarkable. Sure, they're in dead last. But they will not lose 100 games this season. And what do you know, they took the season series with the Mariners, 5-4. By the way, Jorge Sosa was once a Mariner farmhand, playing with Class-A Everett and Wisconsin in 2001, going 3-1 in with 7 saves in 23 appearances.
Just to really piss all of you off, this is the Mariners promotional item for the Sept. 13 game against the Angels: HAMTARO VIDEOS! Yep, Hamtaro. What the hell is Hamtaro, you ask? Well, it is a Japanese cartoon about little hamsters. Don't worry, I just found out about Hamtaro tonight, so don't think that I actually care about this damn show. Ladies and gentlemen, if this isn't an indication of how the M's organization doesn't care about winning, then you need some serious psychological help.
BTW, here's the official Hamtaro website, www.hamtaro.com.
Preach on, brother David...you stole almost all the words out of my mouth.
