We showed our kids Shawahank Redemption. It's almost a perfect movie. But what if in the 20 years Andy was in prison he didn't know it but the owner of the field with the tree had plowed it under to build a mall? Then how good would the movie be?
@MarinersONTap Bad calls happen all the time. Yes this really sucked. But It's part of the game. Umpires have a ridiculously hard job and nobody wants to be one anymore because everyone else knows everything and has helper graphics and replay. ABS fixes this next year. Move on and go Mariners.
@MannyOnMLB Honest question - why leave off the 1995 Mariners off of this list? 13.5 back on August 20th to make their first playoff birth ever, ended the race in a one game playoff.

Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now.
I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter on the floor.
Disclosure deadline is May 15th. We’re about to learn a few things.
It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.
I want you to understand how unusual the moves were today.
Before Trump announced a pause, there was HUGE $QQQ volume on a 460C expiring 04/17.
They were bought for $0.85 and ran to as high as $31 per contract!!!
This was before any news.
Later in the day, it rallied 2000% in ten minutes.
The trader made millions.
Why was this unusual? For a few reasons:
- Firstly new opening volume on chain, minutes after market open
- IVR of +80 on $QQQ, with iv percentile of medium. So vol wasn’t anticipating a move this big
- all execution happened at once, at ask
- this was wildly out of the money at the time
- market was bearish, across the board
Unusual.
Sean Barber should be put in timeout for a week. My goodness this one was terrible. He took the win from one team to the other.
Implement replay appeals!
It's pretty reasonable to understand that he was tired in the 11th and judgement waned. All the more reason for appeals.
@MarinersONTap Nov 1 2024 @Mariners decline the option on Jorge Polanco.
Feb 3 2025 they sign Polanco to new contract, save themselves $5M.
So far in 2025: Polanco the only hitter hitting well.
Game 1 - 3 for 3
Game 2 - Put a pinch hitter in for him in the 9th
Game 4 - bench him
@robmooreEsports You read between the lines perfectly, because my post was really ire directed at the Mariners. We have ONE HITTER producing anything of value and then possibly the best starting rotation in MLB. 54%.
In a shocking turn of events, the world champion Dodgers who spent crazy money this offseason getting better are really good.
They're the next Astros dynasty. I'm ready to move on already.
@secupp I think it'd be legal for someone to take the oath of office in a third term if after their second term they run as Vice President then assassinate their running mate after being sworn in.
