Reality: It’s a bitch.

“I have a tough time pinpointing this thing. We’ve turned over every rock to correct this thing. Unfortunately, we’ve also turned over every rock to lose.”
–Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi

“Who plays the game? He put together a team that everyone across the country thought would be a contender.”
–Putz, on his team’s general manager.

Sometimes you wonder how these people continue to have jobs.

Oh, and:

“When you can get a reliever with a power arm who’s on a relatively short course to the major leagues, it makes it very, very attractive. I think we all know that strong bullpens make it a lot easier for starting staffs.”
Bob Fontaine, director of Mariners scouting, on selecting reliever Josh Fields with his team’s first-round draft choice.

LOL Mariners.
