<body class='hmmessage'>With their 6-5 loss to the Angels this evening, the Seattle Mariners became the first team in Major League Baseball history with a $100 million payroll to lose 100 games! I knew they could do it especially when they some how managed to cruise through 12 straight losses over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay (formerly Devil) Rays with their $40 million payroll are on the verge of finishing the season with the best winning percentage. I'll be at Safeco Field this Sunday for Fan Appreciation Day (me being their one remaining fan) to send this season packing. For the record, I'm hoping that the Cubbies win it all this year since it will be their first World Series Championship since 1908 and at least their fans can look forward to a championship at least once every 100 years.<br><br>-Scott<br><br /><hr />Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
