Pretty crazy how the Mariners have suddenly but also systematically turned the A's into their bitch...and they'll single handily be the team responsible for knocking Oakland out of a wild card spot..and just might become the 2nd WC team in the AL.
How long has it been since Seattle made it into the postseason?
2001. They missed in 2002 and 2003 despite winning 93 games both seasons, which is some shitty luck
In spite of their problems always stemming from inept owners or bad trades..the M's have actually had some decent teams, but for whatever reason could never get over the hump.As bad as the Mariners drought is, there's at least some .500+ seasons mixed in and they had some faint hopes of making the playoffs. The Pirates didn't have a single .500+ team in their 21 year playoff drought.

The poor Buccos have just been plain dismal for a very long time.
Sad to see for such a storied franchise.

It is most likely much more humid in Anaheim than anywhere in Arizona. That humidity will beat you down.Pray for the Angels and Astros (and fans) tonight, the high pressure system is parked directly over Orange County. Projected high today in Anaheim is 100.
I used to live in AZ, 100 is nothing to me, I've seen much worse. But those poor folks are in for a surprise, they should make the game clothing optional.
