Burn The Tree

were 35-26, and now your willing to lose a 100 games?  Right now I'd be pretty pissed if this team pulled a fire sale and lost 100 games.

"If you are willing to sacrifice the future for the continuing hope of a wildcard appearance with this team, I think you are short sighted and f'ing CRAZY!"

Who said we want to sacrifice the future??  I don't think anyone here is in favor of that.  The only thing we've talked about is maybe getting Mark Buerhle, I don't think trading for him would be giving sacrificing the future.

I am sick of the losing and trying to contend this year won't bankrupt the future. Weaver is off the books at the end of the year. Sexson at the end of next with Ho making next to nothing. Not only that but we have an tremendously talented core of players down in the minors that are a few years away.

Blowing up this team would be entirely redundant.

You're the kind of guy who loves a band until 100 people have heard of them, at which point you say they suck, they're sellouts, and they were much better when nobody knew who they were.

Dude, the Mariners are WINNING.  Do I think they'll win the World Series?  No.  Do I care right now, after four years of horrible baseball?  Good god, NO I DO NOT.  Let this ride continue as long as it lasts, because you know what?  It's actually exciting to watch this team now, and that hasn't happened in five years.

Sit down, put your misplaced indignance aside, and just watch the game.  You might find that you'll have fun.

One of the biggest memebers of the old PI forums. Also one of the biggest morons the blogosphere has ever seen. Built up quite a gathering with a few other idiots like "Savvanah" "Mariners World". A fervent hater of Bavasi. Bashed every single move Bavasi has ever done in his entire career, with the exception of the Beltre signing. If you disagreed with him, you were instantly labeled a "Bavasi apologist" and a "sheep".

The guy was the Mariners version of The Rev, except 10 times worse. At least The Rev knows what he's talking about half the time when it comes to the Angels. This guy didn't have clue. He showed up at Jason Churchill's blog a while back, and the two exchanged barbs for a while until Jason banned him. He started his own site and proceeded to mock the rest of the blogosphere(at one point he started called USSM, USSBavasi). After a while he shut down his site because nobody paid attention to it.

Mariners fans have suffered through many, many years of mediocre-to-horrific baseball (25 out of the 30 years of this franchise, more or less), and now all of a sudden the sun shines a bit and the M's are playing well, so....blow 'em up, because it can't last and will only hide the "real" problems this roster has?

C'mon, that's just dumb.  I want my favorite baseball team to win more often than it loses, and that's exactly what they're doing.  If that makes me an ignorant fan, so be it, but I like being excited about watching the Mariners again.

... except of course, Logan deleted his blog, so huh.  Either way, this campaign of his is a bad attention getter.
