Mariners can almost taste the World Series after showing up Blue Jays in their yard

It's common knowledge that the Seattle Mariners have never been to the World Series. It's less common knowledge that they have struggled to even come close. Before Monday, they had never held a two-game lead in a Championship Series.

Those days are over, as the Mariners now have a 2-0 lead on the Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series after marching into Toronto and mercilessly pantsing the home team.

Game 2 was the romp that Mariners fans had been begging for after witnessing nail-biter after nail-biter throughout the ALDS and in the first game of the ALCS.
