Sideline Chatter: So the Mariners’ ‘step back’ will have to include April games?

’Tis obviously better to be a tortoise than a hare.

The Nationals started the season 19-31 and wound up winning the World Series.

The Blues sat in last place on Dec. 31 and wound up winning the Stanley Cup.

In short, the Mariners — who opened 13-2 and wound up 68-94 — are going about this thing totally backward.
