On Monday night the Mariners invited their beleaguered division rivals to hang out. The Rangers have struggled and the Mariners felt bad for them. “Hey, look. We’ve won fewer games since the All-Star Break than you have,” the Mariners texted the Rangers Sunday night. “Why don’t you come over tomorrow? We’ll play a competitively uninspiring game, and you can rebuild your confidence.” The Rangers, depleted from being swept in an important series against the Astros, responded with relief, “Yeah, that sounds amazing, can we bring anything?” “Just bring yourselves!” The Mariners responded cheerfully.
