I have been writing about baseball on the internet for, oh god wow, four years now. In that time I feel as though I've started to get a feel for the rhythms of blogging a baseball season. Still, this is my first year doing anything like running a website such as this one right here and, occasionally, folks still surprise me.
The 2015 Seattle Mariners' season was abjectly miserable, from almost all non-Franklin Gutierrez and Nelson Cruz supported viewpoints. By early August on the season was completely over, not just in that familiar "The Mariners aren't making the playoffs" way but also "I cannot conceive of a reason to view this baseball game" kind of way.
