Yesterday, the Seattle Mariners capped off an embarrassing 3-7 road trip by blowing a nine-run lead and losing 13-12 to the 63-90 Kansas City Royals. It’s been an impressively mortifying stretch for a franchise whose highlight reels from the last two decades would perhaps be equally at home on MLB Network and America’s Funniest Home Videos. Perhaps it was the result of six planets in retrograde (is this the first time Lookout Landing has linked to an article in Cosmo? Makin’ history baby), or that eyelash I wished on a few weeks ago that wouldn’t budge from my thumb, or the salt that spilled last Tuesday.
The worst case scenario for the Mariners is Wild Card #2
