Good evening, and welcome to Friday night baseball! The Mariners are going to be taking on the worst team in baseball. And no, I don’t mean that in a hyperbolic way, nor am I commenting on the Angels’ many non-record-related shortcomings. No, the Mariners are taking on the Angels, who have the worst record in baseball.
That the Angels are so terrible is especially funny for several reasons.
- They are, ostensibly, attempting to win the World Series this season.
- After Jerry Dipoto’s and Mike Scoscia’s well-publicized disagreements, Jerry Dipoto left the Angels and Billy Eppler took over.
