I began writing for SoDo Mojo back in February, following my journalistic aspirations and assuming one of the toughest jobs any youthful sports fan could take: covering the team I love. As a fellow Mariners fan reading this, you’re aware that the M’s are not an easy team to follow. Heartbreak has been far too familiar for Mariners fans, and 2018, unfortunately, was no different.
Entering the season with relatively low expectations, all I wanted out of the team was entertainment. I got my wish, as the likes of Dee Gordon and Wade LeBlanc exuded fun and added a much needed layer of character to the Mariners.
