Yeah, I was there. But they are out of the playoffs now. Had their chance with the last 10 games against the teams they needed to pass, but didn't win enough of them.

Arizona lost to Houston and still ended up making playoffs. Unfortunately the mariners didn't play themselves into such a position that they could lose and still make it.
Is the failure enough to send servais packing? Maybe not but the first time I heard him talk he wasn't and isn't the rah rah type like Lou Pinella who would inspire me to attend games. Of course it's about seeing the players but an enthusiastic manager helps.

Of course it's about seeing the players but an enthusiastic manager helps. Mariners went 21 years without getting into the playoffs, then they finally get in last season and almost get in several other times under Servais. I expect he's got the job for several years at least, if he wants it.

The Oakland athletics need a new home. Okay partially in jest but for a Saturday contest against Texas they drew 6,502. If you have any desire to ever see a game in Oakland - I admit I do - getting a good seat will not be a problem.
As a life long A's fan, it pains me to see what has happened to this franchise the past couple years. I'm glad to see so many former A's doing well on their new teams though. Matt Olson has been a beast this year.

Despite finishing with the worst record in MLB I still respect the A's franchise a lot more than the one in Seattle. At least they've won something. From Home Run Baker Rube Waddell to Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Lefty Grove to Rickey Henderson, REggie Jackson, Vida Blue....Catfish Hunter...got the chronology mixed up but you get the point.

Congrats to the Twins! For what??!! Well with the win over Toronto on Day 1 of the 2023 MLB playoffs Minnesota snapped an 18 game postseason losing streak. Considering I rooted for Minnesota a lot I can say that most of those Ls came at the hands of the Yankees.

Not sure on the individual game, but I think the last series they won was in 1991.

Man, Brewers ruined our clubhouse chemistry 2nd year in a row. Bringing up Winker was pure stupidity.
And when Woodruff was announced out yesterday combined with Burnes pedestrian effort tonight the Brewers are toast.
PAIN!
