Your 2008 Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners are going to go down as the worst disappointment since 1992. The M's currently have a .396% and are on pace to lose 98 games this year. Some experts picked them to win the West, while most others picked them to be in contention until September. So my question is what the FUCK happened?

Looking to what happened, it starts with Bill Bavasi and end with Howard Lincoln. Bill Bavasi was hired after the 2003 season. His very first season the Mariners lost 90 games. They have only had 1 winning season which was last season. He has only made a few good things with the Mariners. Like Sean Green and signing Adrian Beltre. He couldn't get rid of Richie Sexson, and he traded for Jose Vidro who had a Monster contract! The trade for Vidro basically tells you how smart Bavasi is. I know that running a team is very hard, and when you have 29 other GM's trying to outsmart you....you have it tough, but when 29 other GM's do outsmart you. You have no business being in the sport. Bill Bavasi lives and dies with veterans. He signs them to outrageous contracts because they are SO called proven. Yet they don't produce. And in baseball it isn't about what you did for me or what you did yesterday. It is about now, what are you going to do for me now. When he signs a former all star in Rich Aurilia to a stupid deal..and throws away 3,150,000 when he releases him just shows that Bill Bavasi isn't the smartest guy in the world. How the heck would throw millions of dollars around. I know that Billy Beane wouldn't.

As for Bill Bavasi, he is gone now. I hope I never even hear from the guy again... If I do, I want him to explain to me the Rafael Soriano deal.

As for Howard Lincoln, he hired Bavasi, and his tenure is a huge disapointment. It is time to bring back the former Puget Power exec, John Elis
