Seattle Mariners - -

[JWBooth]

Learn to spend more money.

The Jays spent $255,230,405 on their team in 2025 but Seattle only spent $164,346,493

Don't worry though, the Jays are about to have judgement day as match up with LA who has spent $350,300,236.

It really is that simple.

votto just because a team spends a lot of money doesnt mean their players are better...the dodgers have never won a WS when they won 100 + games...in 22 when they won 111 they choked in the DS...lost to the Padres who only won 89 games...how did that happen?...

The most overpaid and overrated team in baseball is watching the WS from the couch. They only barely made it to the wild card round.

The Dodgers have won their pennate the last 13 years or so.

I have studied the situation as the top 15 paying teams in baseball typically have a winning record, with a hand full of teams that have a losing record.

However, with the bottom 15 the inverse is true, as the majority have a losing record and a hand full with a winning record.

Spending money simply helps buy your way into the post season is all. Then when in the post season, crazy things might happen.

It's like gambling. The odds are stacked against you, so the longer you gamble the more of a chance you lose money. This represents the long season.

But in a few hands of blackjack you may beat the odds and win money, which symbolizes the shorter series in the play offs.

The odds are still stacked against you though.

The money teams can simply find a productive player and hold on to them indefinitely and keep building on to the team, as were the smaller market teams have to part with their star players because they get too costly to keep. Any decent front office can then buy their way into the playoffs, something driven home in the movie "Moneyball" with Brad Pitt.

Everyone seems to know this but you, even the dolts in Hollywood know it..

God is cursing the city of Seattle for being a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

Houston choked....they were in first place most of the season.....played losing ball the last 2 months of the season...

Maybe they didn't bang on those garbage cans hard enough?

your problem votto is you think a player is better because some team pays the guy more.....i noticed now you changed your pay thing to it only gets them to the playoffs and then funny things can happen....yea like a lessor paid team beats them...which throws your bullshit out the window...everyone knows that happens except you...

It's like anything else.

You don't usually get what you pay for, but you usually do.

Grow up.

[LA RAM FAN]

50 years and counting. The west coast's dynasty of despair is consistent, if nothing else.

When Mariner players sign with the team, they automatically get a "born to lose" tattoo on their foreheads.

yeah they are the cleveland browns of the NFL. they might accomplish a feat even better than the one the Cubs did.The Cubs went for over a century before winning a world series,the Mariners if they keep going like this,will push the envelope in not getting there for over a century.LOL

yep yep and yep.

I just loved the Dodger manager getting out there on camera after winning the game sending him to another World Series saying that he could care less about all this talk about the Dodger ruining MLB. In fact, after he gets down winning a World Series, he will win another one next year and the year after that and the year after that.

What class they have, but it just shows that this is not just me saying it.

And no, MLB does not give a damn about the fans either

It's just about the money honey.

your preaching to the choir on the MLB does not give a damn about the fans. do you have a video clip of the dodger manager saying that? Man they really have replaced the yankees as the team that is bad for baseball and represents everything that is wrong with it.

same with the NFL on not giving a damn about the fans,they are even worse,the owners only care about shiny brand new stadiums over history and tradition. it was bad enough taking the chargers out of SD but the raiders out of OAKLAND? thats like taking the yankees out of new york,you just dont do that,thats criminal. they are the NO FAN LOYALTY LEAGUE.

anyways for the past 20 years or so i always wished it was anybody in the AL but the yankees in the world series and for the last 10 years the astros as well,both those teams have ruined baseball along with the dodgers,i was elated to know this year neither would be in the series this year.the only thing that would have made it perfect was the dodgers staying out as well.

I included talking about the corrupt NFL cartel because baseball and football were the games i loved playing growing up,basketball i never gave a shit about. so you know anything about the NBA? are they as corrupt as MLB baseball and the NFL? Im sure they are.gotta be.

As for the NBA, I don't follow it at all.

Never have.

Never will.

The playoff system does not help. 162 games a year and we have watered it down with expanded playoffs and uneven schedules. In 2001 the Mariners won 116 games. Even with an uneven schedule they had far more wins than anyone else. In the old system before divisions and playoffs they would have went to the World Series.

Yep, and going back throttles a huge revenue stream. I don’t mind playoffs, though I’d eliminate the wild cards.
