I’m going to miss the Seattle Mariners.
More than anything, that is what I couldn’t help but think and feel when watching them on what was a roller-coaster game that ended in a tenth inning walk-off, with Seattle winning game two 7-6 over Oakland and taking the final series of the year for either club.
It would be easy to take the cynical approach and say I have been missing the Seattle Mariners most of the 2024 season, because you can easily argue and perhaps correctly that their absence from their expected performance or in other words them being a ghost of themselves is in fact why they are sitting on the outside looking in of the playoffs, in the final games of the season.
