I was listening to the Seattle Mariners postgame show on the radio and Ryan Rowland-Smith said something that really resonated with me. He talked about how this rough stretch for the Mariners will be a great test of character for the staff and players, and I concur.
The best teams in any sport are the ones that can battle and succeed no matter the circumstances, and now is a great time for the Seattle Mariners to rise to the challenge.
