I hate the Mariners because they don't like me. In fact seattle sports teams in general hate me. The Seahawks are always blacking out because i refuse to go to their games, never-mind that no one in their right mind would ever go to a Seahawks game. You would have to be some kind of masochist or maybe from out of town. But i don't really care about them, i'm not much of a football fan and you just kind of have to write them off as a loss anyways. The Mariners are something else though, every season you'll start hoping that maybe just maybe they'll go all the way through but then they lose just to piss me off. Then back in the off season you realize what a fool you were to hope against all reason, you know the A's will beat them and if not them the Yankees or maybe even some team that i haven't heard of since i stopped reading the sports pages. They'll win alright they'll just stop right when it hurts me most, they'll rip your heart out and throw it to the ground then jump on it or spit on it, doing whatever it is that baseball players do to the souls of crushed fans.
So all you guys/gals out there with teams that could never make it to the world series at least you've got your teams trying, someday through statistical flukes or a fixed series they'll get all the way. The Mariners, my babies, never will though. Because they hate me.
I think we have a basketball team up here too but i don't follow them. Actually i'm a hockey guy (sharks) but it's still in pre-season so i moan about baseball. Anyways i hope you all lose.
