2. I suspect there will be a lot of changes in Marinerland

Could be looking at an radically different team next season. And that could mean a couple of rough years :evilfrown:

3. As opposed to these past two years?

Well, I guess they weren't as rough as the early '80s, but maybe our standards have been a little higher!

(edited for clarity, such as it is)

4. Sorry.

But if the last two years were rough, Mariner fans no longer know what rough is.

5. Yeah, you're right

Where's Bruce Bochte when we need him?

The team is getting older. Maybe time for a youth movement.
