I've been looking on the internet at the comments on 710 KIRO Radio's comment section about the new Mariners Manager Scott Servais and I am extremely mad at my city. The Mariners haven't even put a team on the field yet and they are already being written off by the majority of the fan base (then again, they are jilted/converted Seahawks fans, so I'm not surprised). I'm going to at least give the man the courtesy of having a chance to fail miserably before I say they have, well, failed miserably. We've given every other manager a chance, including Lou Piniella, who, believe it or not, was not well received by some of the fans here in the Pacific Northwest even when he was here. He was supposedly too "Old School" in his managerial style to get guys to play for him. The fight with Rob Dibble in Cincinnati, being accused of playing favorites and not playing the youngsters (i.e. Derek Lowe) when we had a bunch of younger players as the core of the team. Those were just a few of the concerns with bringing in Lou. I'm excited if, for nothing else, than it will be different than it was. A new guy gets a shot and that's the only way to find out who the next big deal at the managerial position is. Heck, people were all kinds of happy and excited when the Mariners hired Dick Williams (the only person to manage two different leagues in the World Series) and that turned out to be a DISASTER with a capital "D"!
