Spin your defense however you want.

Clearly, when the Mariners are #8 in wins and #19 in payroll, the obvious factor isn't replacing the GM. It's spending more money. Duh. Not a whole lot of spin required.

You're ignoring that every offseason Jerry has 3-5 vacancies on the roster and every offseason he WHIFFS. Dipoto sucks. I'm not ignoring anything.

Only the 7th time in history that someone has hit a lead off HR and a walkoff HR in same game, although Pete C Armstrong actually did it earlier this week.
