Forgot to bring up the dick-punch that cost the Mariners a shot at 117 wins, which would have set the record. The Mariners that season became the 1st team since 1925 (and 3rd overall) to blow a 12-run lead. They led the Indians 14-2 heading into the bottom of the 7th inning before the Indians scored 3, 4, and 5 runs in the 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively and won it in the 11th inning. That said, the Mariners got the last laugh over the Indians that season in the ALDS (barely). And then they got dick-punched by the Yankees in the ALCS

Urinating Tree I want to say thank you. This video needed to be made. I’ve been a Mariner fan for my entire 25 years on this earth and while I love this franchise, failure is all we are capable of. Wasting careers, wasting money and hits below the waist. Hopefully the legacy can be broken soon but there is so much that was failed and no signs that we are improving. Hopefully our tank now will get us on the right track. One thing I would have added. The year we drafted Dustin Ackley, we had the number two pick. The Nats had the number one pick and took Strasburg. With tiebreakers for the picks the difference was less than a game. On the final game of the season before the Mariners won off a walk off slam by catcher Rob Johnson guaranteeing us the number two pick...

[@ReflectionOfPerfection]

I'm a Red Sox fan and we're about to be in a similar boat. The Sox were so bad last year they had the #2 pick in the bag....then in late September rookie Tanner Houck and trade pickup Nick Pivetta combine to go 5-0 and the Sox ended up with the #4 pick.

I personally find this video and the one released by Jon Bois to be almost beautiful in how they starkly contrasted when viewing the Mariners. Tree reviled in the pessimism, grime, and flaws of the void, yelling obscenities at it for its rightful mockery. Bois, on the other hand, found a distinct beauty in the void. It was as if observing all of the heartbreak, awful players, and general glum of the team and their history was molded into something ironically beautiful. Both have their place in the sun, and both represent the two different types of sports fans out there. One is Homer; The one that cries out when someone makes a mistake; The one who acts as the gm in armchair only, the one who ties himself to the team. I'll fully admit, I'm one myself. It's hard not to go off on a rant when a goalie makes a bad play or when a fielder messes up a play - Years of being an O's and Caps fans generally leads to that after all. Yet, Bois video represents the Flanders in all of us. The one that, despite all the hardships our favorite team has, we still watch because we love the game. Or I looked too deeply into videos about a man who yelled about bad teams and made dick punching jokes, and the one who found interest in Blurbing

[@westonstevens3239]

They also had the worst bullpens of all time in the 90s. Even if they drafted talented relief pitching, they would immediately trade it away.

[@UriahCreep]

@Fries Last year, most Giants players played to the top of their potential. Belt and Crawford had career-years. Posey was producing a lot. The starting pitching was fantastic, and they won most of their one-run games. Posey retired at the end of last season, which was a huge loss. His value at the catcher position was basically irreplaceable, and his bat has always been super solid. Belt and Crawford haven't had anywhere near the same production this season, and the team found ways to lose close games instead of win them this year. They aren't a bad team, just nothing special. They did just win 9 of 10, but too little, too late.

[@gevans446]

10/8/2022: They have WON a playoff series.

[@neutralamity]

2020: Despite a 27-33 shortened season you nearly make the playoffs yet again. You finish five games out of the second wild card spot and two games from the second place berth, which you basically handed to the 29-31 Houston Astros by losing seven of ten against them. 2021: This is their year. They may be 3 and a half games out at the start of September but the Mariners are hot. The thing is you have four other teams to deal with. September 12, 2021: The Blue Jays have won 11 of 12, the Yankees and Red Sox are still playing extremely well and you're struggling to take off. At least Oakland's collapsing. That's one less team to deal with. September 29, 2021: This is it. The Mariners have won 10 of their last 11 and are only half a game out. You're going to make it. I don't believe it! October 3, 2021: And you lose two of three to the Angels and finish two games out. At least Toronto tried to make the final push. 2022: You start slow but suddenly begin a 14-game win streak to return to contention. You're in the second wild card spot with a 1.5 game cushion. It's time to make some noise. 2022 Wild Card series: They've done it. They've ended the drought. They shut out the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the Wild Card series, but they're down 8-1 in the second game. What's this? You scored four runs in the sixth inning? However, it's still a four-run game as Toronto tacks on another run in the seventh. But it turns out the Blue Jays have a terrible bullpen so you score four more in the eighth to tie it, and one more in the ninth to win it. 2022 ALDS: It doesn't matter! The Mariners blow a lead of their own in both Game 1 and 2, and then proceed to torture their fans for eighteen innings before giving up a solo home run to Jeremy Peña. The dick punch has returned once again.

The runner on first, then the go-ahead run, was called back to third on the ground-rule double. The M’s failed to score; the Royals took the lead for good the next inning. 2) In the second game, the loudest applause in a mostly-empty ballpark is reserved for EX-MARINER UTILITYMAN Willie Bloomquist. I haven’t been back since. Here’s to Logan Gilbert winning the Cy Young with an 11-12 record, 275 strikeouts, and a 1.75 ERA 🤦‍♂ 2-1 losses on the house!
