They are in the West Division of the American League. They entered the league along with the Toronto Blue Jays for the 1977 season. The Mariners are majority owned by Nintendo, the video game company. The Mariners failed to register a winning record until 1991, and, despite several playoff appearances in the late 1990s and early 2000s and tying the 1906 Chicago Cubs for an all-time-record 116 wins in 2001, they remain one of just five MLB teams never to have played in a World Series.</description><generator>Fwicki.Com - Fwicki Feed Generator</generator><language>en-us</language><image><url>http://www.fwicki.com/images/ui/feed-link.png</url><title>Fwicki - RSS Management</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/fwickis/MLB/Seattle-Mariners</link><description>Fwicki - RSS Management</description><width>88</width><height>90</height></image><item><title>The Mariners survive the Bronx jeers - Crosscut.com</title><link>http://crosscut.com/blog/crosscut/19003/?FORM=ZZNR10</link><guid>http://crosscut.com/blog/crosscut/19003/?FORM=ZZNR10418</guid><description>The Seattle Mariners launched their odyssey through the nation?s glam capitals by showing those who heart New York and Los Angeles that a beat-up ball club struggling to stay at .500 can win on the road, even with Jack Nicholson rooting against it ... </description><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:55:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>RSS Management</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/</link><guid>http://www.fwicki.com/2</guid><description>&lt;div style="text-align: left; font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Arial; font-size: .70em; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sponsored Links:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
