...you have no sports fan soul. How can I be expected to watch the Rangers and Angels spend 140 million a year to kick my sorry backside every damned year from here on out and NOT clamor for the Mariners to do something to keep pace. I understand your drumbeat of criticism in re: the Mariners' minor league operations...and it's logically sound...absolutely it is...but it's IRRELEVANT right now. Completely irrelevant. The Mariners need to compete...they need to keep pace with the rest of the west...and if payroll doesn't increase. And I mean in useful ways and starting right the heck now...I'm out. It's pointless to follow a team that refuses to even try.
