Mariners need a bat in the lineup. They sign Raul "1.5 hot seasons in a hitter's park" Ibanez. They need a third baseman. They trade for Scott "Probably better than Cirillo" Spezio. They let Mike "saves a run a game with his glove" Cameron go to the Mets. And now... they're trading the oft-injured but servicable Carlos Guillen to the Indians for the oft-injured and middle-aged Omar Vizquel? Oh, and ticket prices are going up to pay for all the salary the M's aren't adding. Why do I even bother going to the park? Oh, yeah, that's right. There's no methadone for baseball.
The Mariners ownership motto: Why feed the cash cow when you can have STEAK!
