The Really: Does this really help the Mariners?
Breaking news… HAHA. Ken Griffey Jr. signs a 1 year 2 million dollar incentive laced contract to play with the Seattle Mariners, the team where he started his career. The signing of Ken Griffey Jr. helps the Mariners do one thing, SELL TICKETS!!! I have been around the Mariners for a few years now and I can tell you one thing, they stink up MLB year after year. The worst thing that ever happened to the Mariners was winning 116 games the year after they let A-Rod go to the free agency market. One may say I am making a silly remark but I ask one question. What did winning 116 games get you? I have one answer, a first round playoff exit! Winning 116 games is a major feat but winning playoff games is where it’s really at.
The resigning of one of the most popular players in Mariners history is “nice” but it does nothing to help them get closer to the ultimate goal of every baseball team, win a World Series!
I feel bad for Mariners fans because the front office does not want to win for them, they want to sell tickets and what they do every year is put a couple new folks in the lineup that will keep the faithful coming back. Sad, REALLY SAD!
