How could a team like the 2010 Mariners with two Cy Young Winners, two surefire Hall of Fame hitters and a $130 million dollar payroll lose 101 games? I'll tell you three reasons why:
1. Cliff Lee didn't want to be here and sulked until he was traded to Texas for Justin Smoak in July
2. Ken Griffey Jr. retired mid season due to age and ineffectiveness
3. The 2010 Mariners (except for Ichiro, of course) couldn't hit. They scored only 513 times in '10. That's just pathetic.
What is going on with this years Mariners?
