All the teams I like are made of lose right now though, so that doesn’t really help. Depressing time to like the teams I like :(

But Seahawks 0-2, Mariners have to play .430 ball to not lose 100, Rays may only get the wild card. Not a good time to be me.

Especially since I was at the Seahawks game yesterday :(

The Seahawks aren't supposed to lose at home. :(

We’re now like 22-4 at home since 2005. How do we lose to the damn 49ers?!

Take a look at our depth chart at WR

1. Deion Branch (out till next week at earliest)
2. Bobby Engram (out till next week at earliest)
3. Nate Burleson (out for season after first game ACL injury)
4. Logan Payne (out for season after knee injury yesterday)
5. Seneca Wallace (out for 4-6 weeks after calf strain before yesterday’s game, is also our backup QB)
6. Jordan Kent (cut, signed to practice squad)
7. Courtney Taylor (drafted 4th round or something last year, has potential but isn’t there yet)
8. Michael Bumpus (now starting, undrafted free agent from Washington State that was on practice squad to start season)
9. Billy McMullen (hasn’t played in the NFL in like 3 years, signed last week and is now starting for us, fumbled the ball when we would’ve gotten at least 3 points and we would’ve won, avoiding OT)

Our defense got 8 sacks, a defensive TD, and had three or four more pressures that just had the QB scrambling. Julius Jones ran for 127 yards. And yet somehow our WRs and “Free Safety” Brian Russell lost it for us. (Also, one of Hasselbeck’s picks was dropped by our receiver then SF caught it)

It’s been a dark since the Hawks lost in February to Green Bay for me.

There's a 99% chance we give up amongst the least.

Good pitching + good defense = not a ton of runs given up overall, not along the first.
