Mariners are the first team since 1916 to have back-to-back 90 loss seasons after winning more than 90 back-to-back

     Very interesting fact for all you baseball trivia buffs out there.  You can't blame this one on a deliberate firesale either.  Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson have been big disappointments so far in Seattle and both have taken a good chunk of the team's payroll.  Ichiro carried the whole team on his back last season.  Imagine if Seattle held on to Griffey Jr., A-Rod, and Randy Johnson by the time Ichiro came aboard.  Under that scenario, Seattle would've had a World Series ring or two right now.
