A new decade, a new shame for the Seattle Mariners and their fans.
Shame is at the root of it. Shame as in Kevin Mather should be ashamed, as should John Stanton and Mariners ownership, to once again be the laughingstock of MLB. Unable to settle for a single insult, Mather chucked an entire collection on the floor, then strolled away, leaving a mess neither he nor his bosses have shown the skill nor the interest in cleaning up.
Mather, Stanton, and Seattle’s top brass have shown an imperviousness to shame, repercussions, and the ability to take ownership over anything other than the immense growth in value of the Mariners organization (like all of MLB).
