Had so much fun winning the West last night I went back and relived the other three times the Mariners have won the American League West Division Championship. It's a brief history, but a fun history!

I also love this picture so much, there was no question which one would be the main photo!

A Brief History of How the West Was Won

From 19 long years of frustration to a 24-year drought, a celebration of Seattle Mariners division championships.

And the Tigers are just rubbing it in, letting Skubal throw 8,000 pitches.

What’s the point of having good starting pitching if you pluck them out for no reason and put in worse pitchers? What are we even doing here? Is that really what the “numbers“ say to do??

We appreciate you!!

I’m just so upset if this ends because of bad managing. Its fine to get beat, it’s brutal to hand it to them.

Who could have foreseen that hiring a beloved former player with no managing experience to manage could go so so so so so so badly besides everyone?!

It’s so upsetting watch bad bad choices over and over!!

Amanda Lane Cumming @amandalc.bsky.social · 28m

But at least Kirby didn’t go the third time through the lineup. Whew really dodged that.

Amanda Lane Cumming @amandalc.bsky.social · 32m

Oh boy. Well now it’s interesting.

Yeah if I’m the Tigers I think it’s really hard to take him out.

1 1

Amanda Lane Cumming @amandalc.bsky.social · 36m

85 pitches! So an inning or two more? Unless the Tigers go old school and let him throw 120.

George Kirby goddamn.

Also Kirby is fine!!! Leave him in there until there’s an actual real reason not to!!!

I don’t want to fuck with the bullpen tonight other than Muñoz. Give me Logan Gilbert in there!!

George Kirby looks like a little kid sprouting his first mustache, but he’s actually a stone cold assassin.

The thing about baseball fan bases is none of them want their team to win more than Seattle Mariners fans do. It would literally be impossible to want it more.
