CANO to Seattle

[Runscott]

Wow, surprising how many of the northeastern board crowd are taking snipes at the Mariners fans here - can't you just let us be less-than-miserable for a few days? In return we will still all bow down to the Yankee money and acknowledge their individual player greatness.

Also, you kind of owe us for sending you Brendan Ryan - how could we have foreseen that he would boost his average from .190 to .220? I can't believe that only resulted in a $2 mill per year contract. What cheapskates you guys are.

I hate the Yankees with a passion. Just amused that the Mariners, even with this move, will most likely be a .500 team next year.

Hey, we can only hope for .500

Last year preseason, the talk was about how great the Astros and Mariners will be in a few years, but with the Mariners brass chasing off Eric Wedge, I fear they are no longer on track. I do believe they needed a Cano-type to take them into this promised future period of greatness, so we'll see.
