They say you don't know what you have in a ballclub until they've played 50 games. Well, specifically, Lloyd said that. His Seattle Mariners have now played 132 games and, not only do we know who they are, but we're growing pretty tired of them.
But in knowing what we have, there is comfort in familiarity, even if that's generally as a result of numbness. Though even in the numbness, and the bad, there's an appreciation for the slivers of good—even if they are ultimately meaningless.
Aaaaand, this is way too serious a lede for a post about a dinger.
