There is no path towards Something New for the Seattle Mariners that is not teeming with agony, pain, and misery beyond imagining. The nation will watch in horror as this team gives painful birth to our beautiful and terrible abomination.

This is how it was always going to be.

In the light of day, the insistence on taking millions of fans into the yawning abyss of hell that is a 15-inning game seems pretty difficult to justify. What were the Mariners thinking?

Woke up at 4am with so much nervous energy that all the laundry’s done, bathrooms are cleaned and I think I'm gonna go run a half marathon (okay that last part's a big fat lie).

Hall of Fame player using his hall of fame brain not to try to do too much.

Also won game with his brain in Philly suggesting the team try the wheel play,

I’m sorry to keep bringing this up but I can’t believe the Red Sox let a player with Mookie Betts’ talent, work ethic, and baseball IQ go

Mookie Betts has won two playoff games in a row drawing bases loaded walks after the opposing team intentionally walked Shohei Ohtani.

Realized I finally settled in to playoff baseball about the 4th inning. Much more enjoyable when you’re not living or dying with every pitch or swing of the bat. Most relaxed I’ve felt since postseason started.
