As a Mariners fan I sure hope not either but the fact is that Felix Hernandez and Ichiro are the only major League caliber players on the Mariners at the moment. Plus, now by predicting them to be the worst of all time, anything better than that will be performing beyond my expectations. :P

If they were in Seattle, none of the players acquired by any means outside the farm system would be on the roster since Free Agents avoid Seattle like the plague.

Yeah, I'm aware of the triple posts here

the mariners will win at least 55 games. one of the surest things in baseball is that teams win 55 games and lose 55 games. except for crazy anomalies like the '03 tigers, '04 d'backs and those '62 mets.

For about two months. And Bedard's throwing well and healthy, for the first time...well, since he's ever been a Mariner. I'm choosing to be optimistic that it will continue.

Okay, you've got to just be being intentionally morose for the sake of being morose or something. Because that's so ridiculously not anywhere close to being true. And yet you seem to believe it.

This is what I get for drafting a dirty dirty Red Sock. John Lackey violently crapping the bed. I'm gonna have to get rid of him, I can't have this "sort of rooting for the Red Sox" feelings going on.

I'd say add 10 to that as a worst-case scenario. I'm not saying they'll win the West - frankly, anything above the cellar would be a surprise - but to believe what I'm reading in this thread Felix will again win in the low teens and the team will never win any other game. I mean, come on. That's just ridiculous.

Majority of the Roster filled with older players that wouldn't be on MLB Rosters if not for the M's, Fringe Talent that will teater between the Majors and AAA, Brittle players that keep getting hurt, and Basket Cases like Milton Bradley (who should be locked up in a mental hospital or at the very least in counciling every day of the week for his issues). And there is the role player that gets over paid and does very little to justify the contact (Figgins would be exhibit A).

Felix will win around 20 games...

The rest of the staff might not get to the low teens what with injuries and such.

On the plus side, 38 more wins until my crow soufflet...


...assuming they win that much. :p

That's not exactly what you said in the first place...

But hey, at this rate, 2 down 160 to go :D So keep it up

The Mariners lost,the first of a long string of 1 win out of every 5 games at best (on the games Felix pitches).
