More on Feeling the Pain

Larry Stone posted a great piece at the Times detailing the pain that has been Seattle Mariner baseball since 2003.  If you weren't feeling bad enough already, give this a read.  *sigh*

Shannon Drayer adds some more gloom to this already painful subject.

Prince to Detroit

I'm disappointed - was hoping that when the dust settled Prince would come to Seattle.  Larry Stone has the skinny.  *sigh*

Pineda for Montero

So the Mariners have finally made a move - sending Michael Pineda and Jose Campos to the Yanks for Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi.  I'm pleased that the team has finally done something to help shore up the offense.  Hate to see Pineda go, but the team had to give up something for Montero.  Dave Cameron says the team isn't done yet, I am inclined to agree.  This deal could definitely be the precursor of some additional moves.

The Bear

The Bear is coming to Seattle.  Here's Dave Cameron's take on the Iwakuma signing. Now if Jack Z. could only sign a hitter.

Anticipation

The anticipation is starting to get me down.  If the Mariners don't do something soon I am going to have a headache.  And by something, I mean make some sort of significant move that will make the ball club better for the 2012 season.  We've seen the Angels make some moves that make them and the Rangers the teams to beat in the West.  Meanwhile, we sign Gimenez to a ML deal and trade for John Jaso.  Excuse me while I try to control my enthusiasm.  *sigh*

Stupid Angels

I really do hate the Angels!  There - I feel better now.

Cool piece (as usual) by Dave Cameron concerning placing the horse before the cart.  Yay!

R.I.P. Greg Halman

Shocking news this morning that Greg Halman was killed.  Sincere condolences to the Halman family.

Dave Cameron has a great piece over at USS Mariner concerning why the M's have been so bad.  Worth a read to remind one that it's not about having a lack of desire, it's about bad decisions.

Dave Cameron Speaks

Leave it to Dave Cameron over at USS Mariner - he continues to be prolific with regard to Mariner related blog posts.  You should take a few minutes to read this one concerning what a playoff team looks like, and this one that urges the front office to sign Jamie Moyer this Winter.  Approve!!

67-95

So ends the 2011 season for the Seattle Mariners.  I really don't have much to say, other than I think there are lots of things to be hopeful about moving forward to 2012.

Greg Johns posted this concerning what went right and what went wrong for the M's in 2011.

And the team posted a cool photo gallery.
