As we predicted at the start of the season, the Mariners are right on track for that .500 roller-coaster season. They thrill you, they entice you, then, they disappoint you against thier division rival A's. I mean, 1-12 against any team is sad, very, very sad. This team is great against the low hanging fruit of MLB, however, pitted against top teams, they struggle mightily.
Changes? Many, and let's look at a few of them......
1. Drop Richie Sexson: We hate this guy almost as much as another Richie.....Rick Rizz that is. Sure, he gets you those 30+ HR's a year, but hitting .227 is a joke along with 200 strikeouts. Those #'s kill a team, bottom line. He's no Vlad Guerrero, that's for sure
2. Get rid of Basavi, Chuckie Armstrong, and Howard Lincoln....we've said this a thousand times, but something needs to change and it starts at the top. Follow the Seahawks as an example Mariners, and you'll be rewarded. Keep these yahoo's around, and you'll continue to see shitty Mariner teams around the .500 mark.
3. Seattle fans, you need to start making yourselves heard....I could hear pin-drops at a recent game at Safeco.....where are those crazy fans of 1995? You drink enough coffee for Pete's sake, make some noise, BOOOOOOOOO THE HELL OUT OF RICHIE SEXSON. Don't stand for this shit, make some noise!!!!!!!!!!!
