The MLB thread

[Prudence]

Okay, so here's the thing about Seattle baseball. We're okay not winning. We're okay being mediocre. But only so long as we feel like we know the players. We don't like to get attached to players when there's a revolving door. And we understand that keeping players that we like might mean compromising on success.

What's not okay is to have a revolving door of losers. If they're no-name people here for a pit stop on their way to a successful team, and if we continue not being that successful team, that's not okay.

So they trade Moyer. I understand why. I know he hasn't been winning and he's really getting up there in years to stay on the field. And for all I know they tried to do right by him by offering a coaching gig and he turned them down. But geeze louise, it's *JAIME MOYER*. You know, the guy we've loved for years. The guy in the commercials. As in Jaime Moyer Foundation.

And to the PHILLIES? Maybe you could give him a swirly on his way out of the clubhouse, too.

Choose. Either spend the cash to give us winning players a la Boston/New York and we'll align ourselves to the team name, no matter the players -- or give us players we can get attached to. Don't give us names we don't recognize who lose just the same.
