Wedge- why I don't like him

This is a more in-depth piece on Eric Wedge, the Seattle Mariners manager.

The reason that I don't like him is that he plays not to lose. I went on this rant last week, when the Mariners lost to the Rangers and he didn't pinch-hit for Blanco, when he should have. Additionally, in an April game against Houston, he didn't pinch-hit in the ninth inning and let a weak hitter swing away and cost them the game. He doesn't play to win, he does the best he can to a point and that's it.

One other thing: The Mariners could use someone who will throw inside and plunk some people. Particularly some of the jerks on the Angels and Rangers. Why won't they start up with some of the other teams? Because they're good little Boy Scouts? What's the point of playing if the other team has no respect for you?

New Leadership needed at Safeco

Jack Zduriencik is unworthy of being the Seattle Mariners because of how he has handled Chone Figgins and how the team has performed offensively the last three years. Chone Figgins is hitting under .200, yet still is on the team. Additionally, he showed up the manager last year, Don Wakamatsu, after being moved down in the lineup. He should have been released at the All Star Break.

Quite frankly, I am sick of the incompetence of these old white guys in Seattle, who have had their jobs forever, yet achieve very little. This doesn't attract me to follow your team or teams.
