Quantifying the Misery

Found June 24, 2008 on Rainout:
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners

For those of you Seattle sports fans who have been looking for a way to quantify just how sorry the state of affairs is up in the Emerald City, have I got the solution for you. Today, Rainout launches the first ever Seattle Sports Index. The index is simple and devastatingly effective. I went back to the 1976/1977 season, when both the Mariners and Seahawks entered our lives and calculated the winning percentages of all "major" seattle sports teams, namely our three major pro outfits and the two dominant men's sports at the UW (basketball and football). These five percentages are averaged out, giving equal weight to each, and...voila, the Seattle Sports Index.

Death Of A King

Via Tirico Suave  |  June 23, 2008

With the bases loaded, The King flushed a Santana fastball deep into the bowels of the opposite field. Felix trotted around the bases all wide eyed and giddy. He looked totally unaware [...]

Fired John McLaren on Mariners Mess

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  June 23, 2008
The second of the managers to be whacked this week — Willie Randolph and John Gibbons being the others — spoke out today, one day after being fired. Not unlike Willie who was critical after his firing, McLaren took a small hammer to his former team. Via Mullet's perm at FanHouse: "There is tension, [...]

Felix Hernandez to rest of Mariners: Like that…. assholes

Via Hotdog & Friends  |  June 23, 2008
Fig Jam Felix Hernandez, the phenom young pitcher and de facto ace of the Mariners pitching staff, has just gone yard, grand slam style, against Johan Santana.  Oh and he's no hit the Mets through 3 innings thus far.  I hope when he got back to the dugout he slammed his batting helmet on the ground [...]
