Weird Mariner fact right now.

If we score more than Cleveland today, we're gonna' win the game.

Ownership cares about making money over winning championships. Period.

Until I see them actually do something to put them over the top, I won't believe anything different.

Didn't the Yankees establish over the past century that the key to large profits is winning?

Are you actually comparing the M's to the Yankees? One team does everything it takes to win. The other goes on the cheap.

That's for damn sure. As someone so eloquently said not long ago, the former suck a lot of wins out of thin air via trillion-dollar player salaries.

I hate the Yankees more than just about any team in sports. But they absolutely make winning a priority.

Yes, because, in 1913, the Yankees were a little known team that had arrived from Baltimore, and was called the Highlanders. In less than ten years, they had purchased Ruth and began building a powerhouse franchise. They remained the #2 NY team to the Giants for a while.

This is something other franchises could have done, and, younger franchises could have spent money on winning multiple championships by now. Hell, look at what Miami and Arizona accomplished already.

We won 90 in 2022 and 88 last year. If we continue as the season has gone so far we will get 91 or 92 this year, only a slight improvement. The main reason by far for our division lead is not that the Mariners have got better but the Astros and Texans have got worse.

It has become very obvious that this team is not only overrated but are likely to blow a 10-game lead. Brutal
