Man, it must be tough being a Mariners fan. Just no hope

Would you rather 6 years at the top and 6 years at the bottom like the Mariners or 12 years in the midfield with blips of being at the top and blips of being bottom like the nix?

It sucks for them now but at least they've won the thing.

they may have won they thing (2013), but since then they have been largely disappointing - I'm not sure if they have had the same anti-nix stuff to deal with or ownership changes either. Just a theory on not paying for championships and wanting to build their youth, which really hasnt worked for them. I think feeling some sympathy for their fanbase is warranted, they were flying high, and for a long time they have been in the bottom 2 of the league.

interestingly the year they won the league the nix came last...
