    I can't believe this thread is over 7 years old. My favorite thread on this forum by far.

    Compared to this time last year, they are improved. 45 games into this season they are 22-23.

    45 games into last season they were 18-27 and in last place.

    Seattle is slow to get going like the Astros.

    Last season I saw someone post ( maybe here maybe elsewhere) that every season the Mariners did well they had big dropoff the next season. It was crazy.

    I'll check the records.

    If anyone posted that and has it handy feel free to save me the time.

    Edit: 16 winning seasons in history.
    9 out of 15 they have followed that with a losing season. This year they are under .500 currently.

    Eusebio. For his batting stance and his nickname.

    Anyone noticed that the Carlos Perez catching for the A's today is the same Carlos Perez involved in the 2012 Astros-Blue Jays trade involving J.A Happ, Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter to the Jays for Francisco Cordero, Asher Wojciechowski, David Rollins, Joe Musgrove, Ben Francisco and Kevin Comer?

    He was later traded with Nick Tropeano to the Angels for Hank Conger. Kinda crazy he's managed to stay in baseball for 10 years as a backup C. Think Musgrove is the only other guy in either trade still in the big leagues.

    Ok.

    Gerald Young vs. Eric Yelding

    Glen Barker vs Brian Hunter

    Winners meet in the Slim Jim mano a mano championships, tent pole division.

    Wait. I forgot Willie Taveras.
