Mariners also-rans

Okay...I give up. I've been watching and listening to the Seattle Mariners for SO long! Even when they had a record number of wins in a season, they were unable to close the deal in the post-season. It seems, in most years, they crumble just before August and fall to the bottom, year after year. This time, it looked like they had better hitting and pitching. This year, it looked like they might just turn the corner. No. It's nearing the end of May and they've already imploded. I give up. No more radio broadcasts. No more television (as if I actually HAD an operable television). No more attendance at the games. They stink. There's something so very wrong with this team. Either they can't afford decent players and coaches or they're too stupid to make sensible choices or they just don't care. I don't care. I give up. The Seattle Mariners appear to be a low-class organization no matter what bunch of losers they throw out there. They're all perennial losers.

No wonder the Sonics are gone! There's something inherently wrong with sports in this area. I give up.

Whatever happened to when we had A-Rod? Griffey? The Big Unit? Edgar? There were great players who have passed through town and yet we continue to see the dregs of major league baseball.

We're just one injury away from the Seahawks taking a dive or being mired in a scandal.

Seattle is not a sports town and I will not support any of these losers until they (somehow) turn the corner and establish a winning tradition. Until then...I give up.

These local teams (especially the Mariners) are all like Lucy pulling the football away from poor Charlie Brown. Every year, there is the hype and all the talk about how they're ready to turn the corner. They never do and Charlie Brown (the fans) keep up the faith. Well...I give up.
