So this tailspin of death is becoming something of a yearly tradition

Only four games so far, true, but what they lack in quantity they sure make up in the quality of the suck.

There once was a king named Felix

Who through piches that curved like a helix
Then came a day
He gave up hits to a Jay
And our playoffs got eaten by a TRex

There once was a GM named Jack Z

Who built a good team out of debris
But along came July
Kicked the playoffs goodbye
HOLY FUCK send Washburn to Milwaukee

...and now I'm here

You mean the the poetry thread? Oh hell no, I wouldn't have rec'd it if I thought it was the same thing

I firmly believe (but will stand to reasonable correction), that limericks and poetry of that type are completely different. Oil and water, both are liquids but they don’t mix.

Also I would like to point out that one surefire way to kill a meme is to refer to it as a meme and then tell everyone you hope it doesn't die.

The fact that that word has been used over 1400 times on this site also irritates me to no end, if for no other reason that you’ll hear the word approximately never in every day conversation.

This is one of his down years.

He has a down year that makes everyone think he’s about done but then he follows it up with a few better years. It’s some kind of cycle…like cicadas. Age has nothing to do with any of this because age is irrelevant to Jamie. The crawl to 300 continues.

This loss really makes me feel empty...

Everything this season was going right, hell it was going that way even since yesterday. I accepted that we were not going to win this season, and was ready to enjoy watch Michael Saunders in the big leagues, and Felix Hernandez make a run at the Cy Young.

Now…not so much. It feels like the life has been sucked out of this team. Ichiro and Gutierrez are still kicking ass, which is fantastic. But right now it just seems like Felix has been KO’d of the Cy Young race. I know I’m way ahead of myself in that assessment, but Greinke just refuses to falter.

Ugh, I really hope we make a trade now, because the way things are going I feel that even that will let me down. Shades of 2004!

Yeah, this game reminded me of 2004

What a shitty fucking year THAT was. Holy crap, at least last season was fun to watch. I guess Ichiro did break the record that year, but for me, a Mariner fan who had just moved to California (and had to deal with A’s fans…), I didn’t get to see any coverage of that. My favorite part was ESPN didn’t give a fuck that history was being made. What did we have to look forward to that season? Olerud, Boone, Wilson and Edgar were done.

I remember all the hoopla over Bucky Jacobson, having to check Gameday to see Jolbert Cabrera and Hiram Bocachica in the lineup, my brother setting himself up for disappointment when he’d tell me Justin Leone was the future of the team. The mere mention of Jeff Cirillo, Scott Spezio, Dave Hansen, and Rich Aurilla is enough to make any Seattle fan want to lay down on the train tracks outside of Safeco.

I remember trying to get excited for Clint Nageotte (Mr Sweat!) and Travis Blackley. Oh, and remember Bobby Madritsch?

I hated 2004, so, much. And I’m honestly glad I didn’t really have any way to watch the games, outside a couple of broadcasts on ESPN. And I’m sure we probably had around four games considering we were good in 2003. I remember one ending on a walkoff single in which Quinton McCracken scored on a walk off hit. I believe it was against the A’s and they brought an outfielder in. Oh whatever, now I’m just going on and on about stuff nobody cares about.

But thank god this team has got itself on track.

To 2008 was literally the worst season I have taken part of as a fan.

From the fact that liked 2.5 players on the entire team to having to root for them to lose, if we hadn’t hit a grand slam on the GM hire it would have likely ruined baseball for me.

2004 at least followed a whole shit ton of successful seasons.

2008 was basically “okay this better fucking work because we traded our entire farm syst-OH JESUS FUCK”
