The start of the 2011 Major League Baseball (MLB) doesn't look different from the conclusion of last year's campaign for the feckless Seattle Mariners. Thus far -after last night's embarrassing 12-3 home opener against the Cleveland Indians - the Mariners are tied for last place in the American League (AL) West race with a 2-5 record. This time last year Mariners expected a lot after Mariners general manager "Trader Jack" Zdruiencik signed Chone Figgins and traded for Cy Young winner Cliff Lee and problematic Milton Bradley. We entered this season with a patchwork team made up of little-known-and-forgotten players (Jack Cust, Miguel Olivo, Adam Kennedy and Josh Bard). Few hold hopes that the Mariners will climb out of the AL West cellar. Is it surprising given that Seattle Mariners Owner Hiroshi Yamauchi hasn't demanded the termination of Chief Executive Officer Howard Lincoln and President Chuck Armstrong? The "Howie and Chuckie Story" continues unfettered despite minimal success and one of the more generous payrolls in MLB.
Regardless of whom you blame - there are so many guilty parties - the Mariners leadership is little more than a, tail-tugged-between-the-legs, hang-dog operation. There's little to celebrate until Big Changes to this chopped-ham-spread organization. What is deviled ham... a combination of ground ham and spices. Perfect for this team.
