This is the offseason we also hope that everyone else signs their own free agents, so there are fewer sandwich picks. We get the second pick in the second round, too.

When you think about it, game was the perfect ending to this season.

The Mariners win (a game)! The Mariners lose (the first pick)!

Even when the Mariners win, they still lose.

The Angels are at 100-62 and we’re at 61-101. If we can just put on a late season push with the young kids and the Angels collapse like they did in 1995, then maybe, just maybe…Oh wait. Season’s over. Never mind. That’s a wrap.

Tom T. Right on with your importance of the GM vrs Strasburg. I want to thank DMZ, Dave, the mods and all the regular posters for getting me through this season with a better understanding of the game,( it is a game right?) and hope for the future. Looking forward to the off season with cautious high hopes.

Wow, ESPN just announced that Freddy Garcia will be starting for the Tigers in the makeup game tomorrow. Should be interesting, given his history with Ozzie.

At least the offseason will be an interesting one with lots of big decisions for the club. I hope for the best, but am worried that we will again be disappointed by the moves (or lack thereof).

Anyone else notice that they (Nationals) lifted Perez way early when he wasn’t doing that bad and they kept Zimmerman, Milledge, Boone, Guzman and Dukes out of the game all together!!!!

They threw that fucking game damnit!

And anyway, given it’d be the M’s drafting a pitcher, wouldn’t Strasburg have shredded his labrum signing the contract?

Look at it this way, it’s not like one draft pick was going to cure all that ails this team anyhow, although getting Strasburg would’ve helped.

Here’s hoping a blind squirrel finds a nut and the Mariners pick a great GM.

That’s a lot more important at this point.

The Seattle Mariners: Can’t win, can’t even lose when they’re supposed to.

I don’t think this sports year can get much worse.
