Series Thread: ALDS - M's at Houston

[WizardHawk]

congrats to the better team

time to watch the padres and hope beyond hope this was a taste of better things to come for the m's

I'm a huge fan of whoever the Astros are playing from here out.

Well I guess it's been a good season. Took a step or so forward.

I hope Mariners brass watched this game closely and realize you cannot advance in post season play with a line up of hitters who cannot plate a run, even when playing baseball from noon till sunset plus.

Even a .270 hitter would help this club immensely if we can sign one this off season.

see ya next season gents.

Honestly more pissed about this game than game 1. Fucking pathetic. Mariners fans waited 21 years for a home playoff game to watch them score 0 runs in 18 innings.

Yea, maybe that extra $1mil they made off of concessions / beer for 48,000 people having both lunch and dinner at the ballpark all day can go towards a professional major league hitter.

absolutely.

i've still got the padres to kind of root for. they've been a nothing org for a long time, too, and i went to several of their home games with my step dad over the years. would love to see them beat the astros if the fuckers make it to the WS, but will be happy to anybody beat them.

In a way it takes the sting off a little. the front office/dipoto will always have to face undeniable collective memory of fans who saw 18 innings without scoring a run in the 1st playoff game in seattle in decades. good luck to them if they choose not to try to upgrade this offense.

That game was feeling like the astros were trying to give us a pity win and eventually were like screw it they don't want to win and scored.

That loss in game 1 really just set the tone for the series. To lose in that fashion just swings the momentum soooo hard, it's tough to come back. It happens in NFL as well, but it's contained to just a game... granted in the NFL, playoffs is just over in 1 game and baseball is a series, but a demoralizing loss like that just sucks the life out of the team when you're in a series battle.

When Seattle blew game 1 I kind of said to myself (and I know everyone is going to be like, "Shark fuck you, you said shit." and rightfully so, I didn't post anything), "Yah that's it." Guess you guys just have to take my word for it, lol.

Well, at least Seattle ended the longest playoff drought in US major sports history and got through to the divisional round. I think if they'd won that first game, things might've been very different. They were certainly in every game... they didn't bend over for the Stros... (who probably bent over to get vibrating beads shoved up their ass to signal the incoming pitch - har har).

Astros were the better team, but the M’s could have won anyone of those games, happy how they battled, Astros just had the experience and clutch play when it counted … This was a great experience for the M’s, especially for our young guys…. congrats Houston, good luck going forward …

This series showed a lot, M’s battled toe to toe with the best team in the American League … Our young guys got a lesson taught and it’s a good lesson that should benefit them going forward … Only way to grow is to battle in those situations, you can’t coach that you just have to experience it … This was a good lesson

I actually did say it. It was the kind of loss that breaks your back. I said that night it was going to be a sweep.

Hopefully they learned from it. Hopefully they work a little harder at picking up the missing pieces to make a complete team. Hopefully they have an extra step on each and every regular season game next year and stop taking games/stretches off with stupid mental lapses.

I'm happy they ended the streak. Really happy they won a series and sent the Jay's packing. Glad they got some valuable playoff experience and a taste of what it takes to play this late in the year at that level.

Now go do something to take that next step up. We will not settle for anything less.

Yah, but now the young guys are like, "Okay, we learned a lesson... now management, what the fuck are you going to do about it?" You going to build the team up and get us past the Stros next season or sit around and do fuck all? If Seattle fails to appear next season, all those guys are gonna be like, "Ya know what, FUCK YOU.."

In Dipoto we have to trust, we’ll see what’s up his sleeve, he likes to make moves … I love this teams core though, future is bright if they don’t F@$$ it up …
