To steal and ruin a phrase from the mighty Dave Niehaus, 19 long years of frustration are not quite over. We weren’t really expecting them to to be, after all, but it would have been a nice bonus on this plague year of 2020. But also, did we really want the Mariners to break their playoff-less streak and then not be able to attend any home playoff games in person? Talk about a real Sophie’s Choice.
So anyways, y’all seem enjoy these polls I’ve started to doing on FPFs this season, so we’ll keep that going. But, first, these results from last week cracked me up:

Shoutout to everyone who recognized the references to Jarred Kelenic’s social media presence, where he recently posted a befuddled pic of himself with the caption “SMH” and also a couple years ago revealed he had named his Mercedes SUV “Rihanna.”
