Fig Jam
The Mariners are trying whatever they can to break this horrendous, season crippling, slump. I have tried to think of the standard procedures that teams generally go to during times like these. The Mariners are going down this list like clockwork.
1. “Shake things up” in the lineup with AAA guys. (check)
2. Have manager tell media that the time for excuses is over. (check)
3 Have manager yell at entire team behind closed doors. (check)
4. Have manager get himself chucked from game for arguing balls and strikes. (check)
5. Bean some opposing players. (check)
6. Charge mound and start brawl. (check)
7. Actually hit the baseball and win games. ( )
So far only #7 seems to be a sticky-wicket. All the other list items have come off flawlessly. Did I miss any?
