Look at the lineups we've been running out there these last several days, look at how we've all simply accepted them, and try to tell me that the Mariners haven't completely changed who you are as a person.

Besides, firing Bavasi and Mac was halfway competent.

As well as making Morrow into a starter, and RRS, and releasing Sexson.
