Default Worst team in baseball?

I've been watching the Mariners blow for several weeks and think that they are in the same league as KC. Beltre and Sexson are underperforming and every time I tune in I see some bonehead play that makes me want to puke. The baserunning errors, like Ichiro getting hung out between second and third on a weak liner to the pitcher, Everett rounding third and becoming the final out of a triple play, Ibanez being waved home on Sexson's scorched ground ball directly to the shallow left fielder, Bloomquist trying for third on a routine grounder to short, and the list could go on. And why can't these guys get a bunt down? Yeah, I'm thinking about Lopez popping up the squeeze bunt to Santana, but there are other instances (both Lopez and Betancourt). He should have fouled it off, gone up there with a plan--anything above the nipples gets fouled off, try to get anything below the nipples down. I have no problem with physical errors and low batting averages, it's the mental errors that drive me crazy. Like I said, every time I tune into an M's game, I'm treated to some bonehead play. My very biased vote goes to the M's. I hope they lose 110 games this year and management is forced to clean house. This team is too much to take for 9 innings.
