Because it is never enough for a Mariner team to be bad...it has to find ways to get worse as the season goes on. …and this wonderful amalgamation of talent could look forward to adding Rick White & John Parrish as gritty veterans coming out of the bullpen to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…

That was because many of his losses were less than two innings. He gets karma credit for ruining the 07 season for me. Does Jeff Weaver not qualify because of only 146 innings pitched?

I'll never forget when he imploded and Lou just left him in there to suffer. An umpire finally tossed Mesa on general principles. What a terrible closer he was. Leaving Joe Table out is a real dis.

They liked him so much they picked him up a second time, which makes me fear that Willie will return after a year or two of sudden greatness in the NL, only to sorta suck again here.

You know, there should be a stat that calculates number of outs per PA to take into account the negative effect of having slow, lumbering players at bat w/ a runner on first. That seems at least as relevant as a player's BA w/ RISP. 17 – what a stat line!

The previously mentioned Spike Owen 1983 might be in the running; he was the most used leadoff man that year with an OBP of .257, might be enough to put him over the top.
