I see it differently still. You are partially correct Flea2, the Mariners do traditionally start strong, kind of like a little kid on a hike, or a new dog on the trail, or evo on google, over exuberance from fans feeds them enough energy to get them thinking, "hey, we're not all that bad" of course other teams know differently and have generally justifiable looked right on past them up until it actually starts to matter, this season it will matter right from the start, count the Mariners out early, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Stonefish is looked back as an overly enthusiastic optimistic cheerleader with his prediction once this all plays out.

The Pink Palace will remain a 550 million dollar Monument to Mediocrity for yet another season......book it.
