Well, there are 16 games left in the season. The Mariners are currently 55-91, 36 games under .500, 27.5 games behind the Rangers, worst in the American League, and 2nd worst in all of baseball. Probably the worst if you consider that the Pirates are really trying and haven't been for at least a decade. To avoid losing 100 games, the Mariners need to win at least half of their remaining games.
Right now, the only upside is the #2 pick in next year's draft, but who really cares about that? A giant step backwards and of course, misgivings about turning it around next year. It's been hard to write this blog as this team has just slipped into last place, but maybe it will payoff. Maybe faith and hope and all that believe big stuff will mean something next year. Probably not, but you got to stand by your team even in the worst of times, despite living in a very apathetic and casual sports city.
