The Seattle Mariners, who I've been following since they started.

116 wins Good. I can remember when the Ms would post 100 losses in a
year.

In 1906, the Cubbies posted 116 wins in the season. No one has done it
since. Monday, the Mariners are expected to pass that number. And it's
cool because... it's COOL! And because it's not the Yankees!

Sasaki was pitching for Seattle, and Alex Rodrigez was battling for the
Texas Rangers. Texas got shut out, too.
