Being a fan of a sports team is much like riding a roller coaster, filled with exhilarating highs and crushing lows. For fans of the Seattle Mariners, this sentiment rings especially true. I’ve been a loyal supporter since childhood, standing by the team through both triumphant victories and a daunting 20 plus year playoff drought.…
I usually steer clear of writing about underperforming teams, preferring to focus on the positive aspects of sports. However, the Colorado Rockies’ current season is drawing attention for all the wrong reasons, and it feels necessary to address just how dire the situation is. With a record of 6 wins and 31 losses, the Rockies…
