Talk about the Seattle Mariners

Mariners can still salvage this mess of a season

True to form, the Mariners appear to have reached the franchise’s traditional point of disengagement with the playoff race — the Memorial Day weekend.

They entered play on the holiday 19-30, third-worst in the American League, fourth worst in major league baseball. While most of MLB settles in for a summer of entertaining daily drama, the Mariners are on the edge of a Seattle baseball tradition — bringing up the kids for four months of extended spring training.

The one silver lining in the tradition is that it allows local fans of the sport to shift attention briefly to the women’s College World Series and the University of Washington. Unlike the M’s, the Huskies play with a swagger and toughness that is the envy of their world.

  1. So true. The M’s team lately has been just as bad as their team from the 1980’s. I remember well because my dad took us to the Kingdome many times to watch the M’s lose. It was fun for sure but now that I’m in my 30’s I’m ready to see a World Series team.

    Yes, very interesting insight. The Memorial Day transition from Mariners to woman’s softball and UW football.
