Baseball is fun and beautiful and frustrating and disappointing and why do we do this you guys? Oftentimes, this sport is simultaneously so easy to enjoy and so hard to watch. Especially for Mariners fans. These types of dichotomies are actually pretty prevalent around baseball. One of my favorites is when you're out at a Safeco and a Mariners batter takes a first pitch as a called strike right down the middle, causing the monster wearing a Chone Figgins jersey who is sitting behind you to screech, "WHY DIDN'T YOU SWING AT THAT?
