So remind me again – when exactly does the fun part start?
One of the selling points I kept hearing about the Mariners’ step-back strategy was what a kick it was going to be to see this process unfold. It would be painful on the field, sure, but watching the kids grow and develop before your eyes – the Mariners’ bright future emerging — would make it tolerable and even joyful.
But we’ve reached August, and I’m still waiting for the fun part, outside of the two-week stretch that may well become a legendary example of false omens.
