In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
A 3-3 road trip that felt like a funeral procession. The 1-2 loss in Anaheim was the turning point — not mathematically, but spiritually, the game where 70-82 stopped being a slump and became an identity. Seattle answered with 7-2, then split Colorado, closing on a 2-1 win nobody celebrated. The board spent the week drafting obituaries: biggest flop in Ms history, on the 50th anniversary, with calls for new ownership. Cole Young erasure remained the only grievance small enough to survive.
What fans said
“Possibly the biggest flop in Ms history. This on the 50th year is peak Mariner.”
