You have been covering the Mariners for 15 years. In that time, Edgar Martinez retired, Felix and Ichiro became stars and there have been new managers. However, what there hasn’t been is a playoff game or set of games.
The purpose of professional sports is to attain the highest level possible as a team and that is measured by winning a championship. Stats are nice but they’re just window dressing or the hors d’ouevres. What is the point of spending a decade or two in a place like Seattle if they don’t win?
Leave now while you can. I’m sure there are openings in places like St. Louis, Chicago and Clcveland. Otherwise you will never cover a playoff team.
