It’s too early to be sad

Browsing the comments over the Mariners’ opening series, it’s clear that none of you need my help identifying the problems with this team. There are many. But it’s only March, and I’ve had a rough six weeks. I’m not ready to let myself get into a negative headspace for baseball yet. After all, we follow the Seattle Mariners; it’s not like it will take very long to get there. It’s a franchise that’ll break your heart, over and over and over.
