I get that Mariners fans are heart broken. Well, I'm a life long Yankees fan and I'm not happy either. I'm one of those Portlanders that wished nothing good for Seattle sports teams. This comes both from jealousy and also from Seattle's teams thinking we're under their thumbs. Its the arrogance of it all that really bugs me.
