Seattle fans do sell out though...I've seen first hand at a ton of seahawks games I've personally attended and then most recently week 1. Sorry but most people think its a bandwagon fan base and while no doubt many fans including a ton here likely meet your definition of die hard.. a large base dont...and I haven't just started saying to get under mariners fans skin. I've said it long before so no it is not trolling...Mariners games aren't exactly a sell out or historically desirable. In fact only a select few even participate in this forum. I will say it for the Jays as well...it an incredibly bandwagon fan base once they get into the playoffs. I would also expect and see a ton of people selling off tickets to make a buck. A real fan goes to the game and watches.
Yeah my ignore list on this site is the largest of any online forum I participate in. Mostly trolls.
It's extremely odd. I wouldn't go to an opposing site if you paid me. But, Cyrus is fine. At least he's a Hawks fan
From my standpoint, it’s a case of them not being aware of their surroundings and not knowing the audience or simply not caring about those two things. Either way it’s trolling and I just block them since I don’t really care to chat with someone that is all good with being chummy over the team they like (because their city doesn’t have one) then vile in response when they do have one, on the forum hosting Seattle based teams discussion. Is disingenuous. If you like the Seahawks that’s great but don’t come bashing the Mariners and expect to do so without pushback.It's extremely odd. I wouldn't go to an opposing site if you paid me.

As a diehard fan I am struggling to not feel like this is the same old bullshit different year…. So we made it past the tigers… now we are back to all or nothing swinging and no is getting the all… it’s not over but it feels like old mariners crap
"Close, but no cigar" only takes you so far. Even if this is further than we thought we'd get, the same ol' story rings true: too little, too late.
Fugg the blue jays and John Schneider #2 and Canada and Katy Perry and all your old ass cry young award winners and maple syrup, it’s disgusting… I’m gonna go burn a flannelSeattle fans do sell out though...I've seen first hand at a ton of seahawks games I've personally attended and then most recently week 1.

I’ll bow out of this thread as I seem to be mostly the only one pro Jays and the presence of opposition here is stirring the hornets nest. I actually rank the Mariners high on my list of teams id cheer for but not above the Jays. Besides some real minor banter rubbing salt in a bit I think have been very mild...but guess that level is just too offensive for the Mariners sub forum. Good luck the rest of the way and go Jays!
If you care about winning, it's always a disappointment when you lose, no matter who you are, when you do, or how you do.
Yep, if you look at the lineups for Seattle, Toronto and LA you’ll see a huge difference in talent in the 6-9 spots. These have mostly been unproductive ABs and easy outs/innings for Seattles offense. That 54% mentality got them into the dance but we’re going to need to add on more to be competitive at the level required once we get in.
Julio and cal and EuGeNo and Rozy have all been easy outs… our whole team has been easy outs except Naylz and he is already packing his sonics jersey back up
They absolutely need to sign Naylor. Next year should be interesting with some of the top non pitching prospects expected to make the major league roster- Emerson, Montez. Hopefully Williamson can also take a step forward offensively. I'm not sure what they do with Harry Ford. He looks like he might be a good hitter but we have Cal unless they DH him, have Ford as the backup and cut Garver. Seems like a waste for Ford though and might be worth seeing what you get in a trade.
They have got to get some veterans that can hit for average and decent power. We can’t have 4 great bats and 5 clunkers. Way too many innings completely wasted 3 up 3 down.
It absolutely IS a disappointment. However, I've had an absolute blast this year and this post season. It's not going to take away my appreciation. Of course, I'll get told I'm satisfied with ALCS. NO, I'M NOT.
I think Canzone will get more time. He was hitting well before the play offs. JP probably will too but I wouldn't have him as SS.
