Many leaks have sprung. Which gets the first patch?
The Mariners of the past have been largely bad. But while there is no joy in failure there is honor in honesty. And there have been very few Mariner teams that have started the season with anything other than an honest representation of their own tepid mediocrity. The April W/L over the years:
2014: 11-14
2013: 12-17
2012: 11-13
2011: 13-15
2010: 11-12
2009: 13-9
2008: 13-15
2007: 10-10
2006: 11-15
2005: 12-12
2004: 8-15
That's 1 year in 11 that the team has managed to navigate the season's opening month winning more games than losing.
