I'm conflicted on whether I want the Mariners to win tonight. Sure, many of my friends and family are fans, but the Mariners are one of the great losers of American sports. The entire hold that the team has on the city–The Kid, Edgar Martinez Drive, Dave Niehaus, that one Macklemore song–is built on making it to the ALCS once and losing. That's funny and it gives me joy. Can I really give that up?
