Are you the only one with a winning gamethread this year? If so all the tank fans need to beat you to the punch
GAME THREAD STANDINGS

rockycola………….………. 5-2
American Pig...…….…. 1-1
DavidGee………..………… 0-1
Juliooooo………..….…... 0-1
AT Fresno...……..……… 0-2
D-Train...………..………. 0-4

Mariner record...……..6-11

I do find myself looking over my shoulder a lot and I'm developing a nervous twitch.
I want the M's to win, it's an ugly habit of mine.
That's even more impressive than Steve Carlton's legendary 27-10 for the 1972 Phillies team that went 59-97. Why is ANYONE besides Rocky starting game threads?

Edwards goes to IL, Shaw gets the call to replace him. Great tank move.

I can match Carlton!! In 1951, Ned Garver posted a 20-12 record with 24 complete games for the St Louis Browns who went 52-102 that season.

Word is Dipoto is in discussions with Dr. Fauci looking to shore up bullpen.

There are losers here who want the M's to lose; that's why I have hired bodyguards to protect me 24/7. Everybody hates a weiner (no offense to your wonderful and cute weiner dogs, Darren 8-) )
We're ALL Lovable Losers here!
Now, to push the envelope and piss off some here, let me say:

We Truly have a good, the Bad, the Ugly deal here with our starters.

The Good are Lewis, Crawford, Moore, Seager and Nola

The Bad are Long and Lopes

The Ugly are all the neggy WAR guys led by White with -0.5. btw is the hitting coach working with him at all?

Somehow White has a negative dWAR... Not sure how reliable that is.

Imagining Dipoto in his Evan White interview, "Why would we ever move such a good defensive 1B?"

Uhh, because he hits like a center fielder and will get eaten alive at 1B if the bat doesn't play up..
