So, the Mariners suck right now.
That’s a shame.
It’s a shame because this was supposed to be The Year, right? That’s what all the marketing said, that’s what Dipoto said, that’s what the players said, and so far, it’s just not been the year. Getting swept in four games by the Red Sox is just the latest of a long list of struggles the Mariners have endured in this young season.
For those of us aboard this rendition of the S. S. Mariner, it can feel like we’ve fallen overboard and are now getting keelhauled.
