Agreed... He should a left the M's long ago.. For Felix to never sniff the playoffs is almost a crime, were all gonna get cheated not seeing how he would a stepped up in the post season... I get the feeling he would a studded out big time, but we'll never know...

Same could be said to a lesser degree about Ichiro and his time here. The guy was an absolute hit machine and he never sniffed the playoffs either.

He made his only playoffs appearance as a rookie in 2001. Also the year we want to wipe from our memories due to the failure if not reaching the WS with 116 wins.

Ichiro got to perform in 2001 on the stage, got to the ALCS ... So he had 1 playoff appearance here

No doubt, so much for that momentum... Fat lady is almost singing on the Mariners season ...

Yeah, our pitchers that were filling in were pitching better than Felix and Paxson did since their return...

That was so long ago I actually forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

Not only that the AL West and the AL became extremely competitive after the 2001 season. In 2002 they won 93 games and was still 10GB of first place(finished 2nd). 2003 they again won 93 games and finished 3rd in the division! Both 2002 and 2003 was no playoffs. Crazy.

After 2003 they are where they are now today.
