Just for those of us that bought into the "hype " earlier in the season and thought, maybe just maybe they would break the playoff drought.....
Yeah, I mean the league tried to help them out by creating this stupid second wild card to begin with. They'd have not sniffed the jockstrap of a playoff without it and yet STILL they can't ever reach one.When your ceiling as a team is "compete for the 2nd WC and fall short" that's pretty pathetic.
To bad that's the only thing this franchise knows
Dave spent about half of his life calling games for the M's and never had the opportunity to call a WS for them. It will eventually be Rick Rizzs too. I'm not expecting any of us to experience a WS in our lifetime either.I gave up years ago expecting to ever see this team in the world series. I'm not saying winning it, just being in it. It's just not going to happen. At least not in my lifetime.
At around June when they were 22-23 games over .500, I pretty much said that if they maintained a .500 record the rest of the way they would probably make the playoffs with 90-92 wins. Pretty sure since then they've been under AND Oakland performing exceptionally well is where we are at today, they caught the M's. Oakland to me is unexpected and with that, unfortunately, this team will not make the playoffs.
Way too many holes and the one run games luck essentially ran out.
Their failure to acquire another arm at the deadline is downright inexcusable. I gave up when I heard no news/rumors. I guess it's too damn difficult when you have no pieces to trade for. And in a typical Mariners fashion, GM and manager gets an extension and they go to shit.This is what is so frustrating, they should have just had to float at or slightly above .500, but they have free fallen and Servais seems over his head since the break and Jerry's big moves have hurt the team.
I'm just pissed again they extended both of them then they go and look like clowns right afterwards. Hope Stanton has the balls to can these guys like he did paying off politicians to kill the Sodo Arena.

Don't worry, at least you have a 2nd place finish to Stanford to look forward to.
