The Mariners failure this year is so epic that it transcends sports. This is a study in human misery and abject failure brought on by the arrogant presumptions of a management team unwilling (or unable) to evaluate or adjust to the situation on the ground (as it were). This is a failure so spectacular that even non-sports fans can appreciate it; a failure so magnificent it’s actually made the highly organized, stay-on-message corporation known mostly for their baseball product, interesting. This isn’t mere schadenfreude, either. This is a 6 month long Shakespearian tragedy occurring 6 times a week on TV, radio, and at a ballpark near you.
