014 Mariners

Okay, the Mariners seem to be in some kind of Wild Card race...

So...having a look at the team...they have a guy (Cory Hart) hitting DH today with an average of 210

They have this guy (Smoak) hitting 209.

Ackley has somehow managed to get all the way up to 231!

If the Mariners want to get in any kind of playoff situation those three guys have to be gone.

My chickens in the field can hit as well as those three (millionaire) losers.

Don't mess with the pitching...they're great.

Get rid of the guys that can't hit and replace them with chickens or Sumo wrestlers or female tennis players...anything!

Keep ALL the minor league prospects and get rid of the dead wood. Don't make a stupid trade to pick up some fake-ass hitter or pitcher. The team is great, as is, without those few losers.

As far as the "losers" go...if the team can't unload them or send them down...they should just stay home. (For  a hundred dollars a year, I could do  as well as these guys,,,but I'd rather have a winning team.)

Mariners (Mets)

Listening to the Mariners game on the radio yesterday…two throwing errors on the same play…and having a look at the horrendous batting averages of these Seattle goofballs, I can’t help but compare them to the early New York Mets. I remember the “Amazins” with Marvelous Marv Throneberry, Ed Cranepool and the rest of that hapless team. It was a total joke. The 2012 Mariners are nearly clones of those Mets! And! They actually pay them for this crap! Millions! At this very minute, they're playing a game against Cleveland and the Mariners have two (!!!) professional (???) athletes hitting under 140 in the starting lineup! This is disgraceful! 

(By the way, Ken Levine is a great radio announcer and I've finally learned to appreciate Rick RZZs. Together, they're really great! ...just PLEASE keep Ron Fairly off the air...PLEASE!)

Oh...as a follow-up, the batless Mariners (Batless in Seattle) managed to find a way to blow away a 4-run lead and take it up the butt from Cleveland...again. The Mariners really do suck!

Also, I've had it up to here (!) with the local sports media buffoons being so critical of Ichiro. Aside from (maybe) that Mariner pitcher (what's-his-name), Ichiro is the only real professional athlete on the team.
