The Angels And The Mariners Phoned In Their End-Of-Season Game

The Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners played a stinker of a game in Anaheim, befitting to underperforming teams that have nothing left to play for this season.

The Angels And The Mariners Phoned In Their End-Of-Season Game

On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners played a lackluster game in Anaheim. The Mariners, who were once a pennant contender, were in a 72-82 season, well below .500, while the Angels, with a 70-82 record, were also struggling. The game, watched by 39,000 fans, was a disappointment for the 39,000 attendees.

A series of unforced errors by the players, including intentional walks, poor fielding, and carelessness at the plate, typified the game. The Mariners ended up winning 6-5, but the performance of both teams was so poor that questions have been raised about their respective managers' future.
