On the insecurity of being a Mariners' fan

The game last night, alas, was rather typical.. Seattle explodes in the bottom of the 4th, scores 6 runs and takes an 8-1 lead. A home game, and between innings fans are dancing in the aisles. Party time! Then in the top of the 5th Cleveland scores 7 runs to tie. They go on to win, 9-8.

So the Mariners blow a seven run lead that their starter and bullpen can't protect.

There was one game a few years ago, if I remember right, where they blew a 14 run lead!

A Mariners fan, if smart, never rests with a lead.
