The dream is dead, Seattle. After the Texas Rangers snagged a win against the Mets on Thursday, our Seattle Mariners have been officially eliminated from postseason contention.
That One Win That Crushed Everything
Yeah, it stings. Our M’s needed a miracle, honestly. We were counting on both the Rangers and the Houston Astros to lose out for the rest of the season. But with Texas grabbing that win, the door just slammed shut. No more “what ifs,” no more scoreboard watching for those other teams. Even center fielder Julio Rodríguez looked on, a picture of the moment, after the bottom of the eighth inning in that game against the Houston Astros Tuesday.
A Legend’s Send-Off, But No Postseason Magic
Look, the season isn’t completely over, even if our playoff hopes are. We’ve still got four more home games at T-Mobile Park, and they’re all against the Los Angeles Angels. This series also lines up with a huge celebration for our legendary broadcaster, Rick Rizzs, who’s retiring at the end of the season. So while the postseason dream is gone, we can still show up for Rick. The Mariners face the Angels tonight, September 24, with first pitch scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Let’s make some noise for Rick, even if the stakes feel different now.
