I'll start off: The way the Mariners are going, they are going to make the '03 Tigers look like the '27 Yankees.
Have at it.
Poke fun at the Mariners (and any other underachievers)

As some of you probably know, or if you don't, I happen to be a diehard Mariners fan. As they are 7-13, anyone is welcome to poke fun at them on this thread. You can also talk about any other teams or players that are underachieving so far. (Under one condition: don't talk about the Yankees. We have enough threads dedicated to Yankee-bashing)I'll start off: The way the Mariners are going, they are going to make the '03 Tigers look like the '27 Yankees.

Have scored more than 3 runs in a single game ONCE (8-6 loss to Philadelphia)
These are the scores of their wins all season:
2-0
3-2
3-2
2-1
1-0
This means that the Mariners are not playing crappy enough to get the top draft pick.

Batting average: .268, 9th-AL
Home runs: 15 T-12th
RBIs: 78 13th
The pitching is what is killing this team:
ERA: 5.41 13th AL
Strikeouts: 119, 9th
Home runs: 27, 1st (not exactly a good thing)
Compare the pitching with your Expos: (3.50 ERA, 126 SO, 20 HR)
The point is that the Mariners have too much talent to be sputtering along like this. No offense ME, but everyone kinda expected the Expos to be bad after losing Vlad Guererro and Javier Vasquez.

The Mariners should be above .500, but half of their losses have come from bullpen meltdowns. They also have hardly any hitting:Batting average: .268, 9th-AL

Its April everyone. This wont last. Detroit will come back down and the Yankees and Seattle will gravitate back to the top.

It's doubtful, given every Mariners starter is 30 or older. The past two years, they had one of the best records April-August and wore down in September. Maybe skierdude's Yankees will be back on top and A-Rod will probably win MVP.

joel pineiro? he might be talking about hitters though.... also at the rate the mariners are going, Mike Hampton will hit more Homeruns than the entire mariners team

If he means hitters, than he is right. I believe the Mariners are the oldest team in the AL (Giants and Yankees are also pretty old)

Barry Bonds has as many home runs as the entire Expos team.If he means hitters, than he is right. I believe the Mariners are the oldest team in the AL (Giants and Yankees are also pretty old)

The Yanks will be there at the end, maybe the Mariners will as well but they can't afford to stay at this pace for long...I think they really miss Lou Piniella more than anyone would admit.

I think that it's finally the age getting to them. Their 4 and 6 hitters are over 35 and their ace is over 40...guess the old whirlpool spa just isn't working like it used to.

Once again, the bullpen melted down last night (Baltimore 3, Seattle 1). Yes, I was was talking about the starting lineup. The rotation is young but they are getting thrashed. And when they do good, there is no hitting to back them up.

Poor Mariners...Bob Melvin is a lousy manager, and they are the second-oldest team in baseball at about 30.5 years per player (Yanks are tops at around 31.5, or so ESPN tells me). From a dyed-in-the-wool M's fan, I hate to say the best baseball product coming out of the Pac NW is right here in Tacoma. The Rainiers have some pretty decent players, and a former World Series MVP for a bullpen catcher! We're talking Pat Borders, people! I'm going to games just for the joy of shouting "Remember 1992!" from behind the home bullpen. It's just a shame that Wiki Gonzalez is starting over him....sheesh.

It went only 16 innings, because the home plate umpire blew a pair of calls on plays at the plate--Dan Wilson missed the tag on Koskie in the 9th, but got the call, and then called Winn safe in the bottom of the 16th, when he was clearly nailed. The dude wanted to go home, I guarantee it. After the game, Melvin looked like he'd just walked in on Lucy Liu and Britney Spears engaged in a jello wrestling fight--and got asked by the ladies to officiate. Lucky, lucky guy. Same night the bum got a contract extension. Don't get me wrong, I loved getting the W, but Melvin is a schmuck.

That must be sarcasm...they just extended his contract through 2005. If his head is going to roll, that's not soon enough! :mad:
