Series Thread: Mariners @ Astros: 9/15 - 9/17

[seahawksfan234]

Mariners have won 5 of their last 7 and are now 3.5 GB of the wildcard.

How come everytime we go on a streak we play the fucking astros?

Ahhh the Astros.... where they dashed the hopes and dreams of this team.

Paxtons first go back was a murder scene, absolutely nothing looked good. Yikes!!!

That's why I didn't get too excited... Then we have the Indians coming up as well...

You know it's a bad day at the office when Gallardo pitches better than you do...

The part I don't figure out is why the Astros don't just let us win all those games? If you were them, wouldn't you rather see the M's who you dominate play in the playoffs vs Twins? Just saying...

Gross, so true...

Little off topic but it still blows my mind that Felix and Gallardo are the same age... Still holding out hope Felix doesn't fall off the cliff like Gallardo has.

I'll go ahead and probably overreact but it gets old.

Same performance against the same team. Game after game, series after series and year after year. Ever since the Astros came to the AL West we have been their bitch. Even back in 2014 when we were fighting for the playoffs and they were bad they still beat us 4 out of 6 in September. Astros broadcast had a stat that we hit .220 against them and .270ish against the rest of the division. Makes sense because it seems like all their starters have our number. Regardless they own us and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

And the Astros were suppose to add wins to our total when they came over since they were bad and we got to play them multiple times...be careful what you wish for I guess.

Are you sure the Mariners didn't dash their own dreams? Cause sometimes, it's like they just give up.

And WHY did we get Erasmus again? That bitter reminder as to why we got rid of him in the first place seemed to surface in his so-called performance today.

 

[unlvmariners]

Seahawks time...

Well unlike the Mariners, the Astros execs actually know how to execute a rebuild.

Along with about every other teams in the league. Perenial losers like the M's continues to relive '95 while a team like the Yankees takes a year or two away from the playoffs and go back to work building a contender. It shouldn't be a surprise this organization is WS-less.

 

[AceKeptic]

On to the next home series, where we can finish humiliating ourselves and officially eliminate ourselves from any wild card contention.

We actually don't know if the Mariners can execute a rebuild because they refuse to try

How fitting for the Astros to clinched the ALW against these losers. Remember when we all thought the M's will pad a few wins because the Astros moved to the West? Lol
