In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Two losses in Oakland, 7-9 and 3-7, put the hundredth defeat within reach, and the 7-9 blown one became the week's ghost: "Imagine if we didn't blow that game against the A's." Wins in Seattle, 6-4 and 7-5, briefly made sub-100 feel reachable — "ONE AWAY FROM THE PROMISED LAND" — before 4-8 and 3-7 finished it at 62-100. For a fanbase where "avoiding 100 losses has been my World Series," the season ended in the ninth inning of nothing.
What fans said
“Arte Moreno, you bought this team the year after we won a world series, and you leave it the literal worst its ever been. I can't think of a more apt summary of your tenure than that. Goodbye, good riddance, get bent.”
