Dont remind me
i don’t think “best season in the history of the league” → “miss playoffs for 20 years” is even replicable. truly the mariners innovate
fuck you just go 116-46 and then become mid
eventually culminating in Ken Griffey Jr. Just Walking Out. You Can Leaveing
Imagine being born RIGHT AFTER your team wins 116 games and then never see them make the playoffs for your ENTIRE LIFE
this was me until a few years ago
oh, absolutely, like. it’s so fucked up. that’s the mariners for you. they give so much and they take probably too much in return, but we still love them for it
if it’s any consolation i started following baseball right after my favorite team’s greatest success in recent memory. which they have yet to match
It’s also not like we had all bad players during the drought
Felix hernandez played for the nariners basically all of his career
Which sucked because we would never be bad enough to do a full rebuild, but also not good enough to actually make it
Mmm
Unless you’re a red sox or a browns fan I don’t have much pity for you
Though that is rough
King Felix deserved better management.
Hi
as a mariners secondary i can confidently say mariners fans should not be giving me pity. they have it SO much worse
Dungeon Meshi is fantastic. Ryoko Kui is a gift.
Hi we’re ranting about baseball
Specifically the mariners
like oh yeah you get 10 years of Ichiro Suzuki, one of the best hitters of all time, followed by nearly 10 years of Felix Hernandez, one of the best pitchers of all time, and management just does nothing with it becasue doing something with it would cost money
the one time Mariners management did spend significantly in that time it was Robinson Cano, and you know.
what does the ocean have to do with baseball
listen I’m not going to judge mostly because the Mariners then managed to almost completely escape the heat for that contract by yet another classic New York Mets Moment but it was not a good decision.
its quite simple a guy in Seattle liked the ocean and submitted the Mariners as a name for the city’s baseball team and then immediately went missing for 40 years
he just??? didn’t realise that they chose his name for his reasons??? and that he had lifetime season tickets??? because he was just hanging out in philadelphia? i mean good for him but
