The Mariners have hired former Indians skipper Eric Wedge to be their new manager. With Seattle coming off a 101-loss season, it probably won't be tough for Wedge to improve on that mark.
I think Wedge is a good manager. He nearly reached the World Series in 2007 but the Tribe blew a 3-1 ALCS lead to the Bostons.
But is Wedge going to get people excited in Seattle?
Is he just another retread manager or is he actually going to be the guy to turn things around in Seattle?
I hope the Mariners get good again soon. I kind of like them for some reason. I like the stadium they play in, I enjoy watching Ichiro play (who doesn't besides Kevin Wheeler?) and they have nice uniforms. Believe me, it can be tough to root for a team that looks crappy.
I am angry though with the 2010 Mariners. I picked them to win the AL West. Even though I'm not the only one who picked them they embarrassed me and made me look like a chump!
Quick thought: With baseball players, and athletes in general, always using nicknames, is Wedge's nickname Wedgie?
