Mariners release their 2010 Schedule. We’re gonna win it next year… or the year after.
We flew-in recent signee Jack Wilson in on Wednesday. His quote about his first moment as a Mariner.
“I got here right as Griffey was hitting a two-run double down the line, so I was pretty pumped,” said Wilson, who watched the end of Seattle’s 3-2 victory over Toronto. “I was pretty excited to walk into that, put on the uniform, went in the bathroom and kind of looked at myself and was like, ‘All right, I’m a Mariner.’”
We’re not going to talk about the fact that the Mariners are 46-42, just 4 games back of the Angles (who SOMEhow swept a 4-game series against the Yankees).
We’re halfway through the season, and I’ve already started a “playoff ticket” fund.
…I just jinxed us.
Think I’m kidding? I’m not.
I can’t have anything against it ‘cuz it’s Griffey, so there’s a good chance I might dawn a white glove tomorrow myself.
I want to get in a tickle fight with both these guys. More articles about their friendship is only going to make attempt to stalk both of them around Seattle.
I love the Mariners.
After reading articles like this, my man crush on Ken Griffey Jr. is only magnified by the fact that the one Mariner Seattle tries so hard to keep satisfied (Ichiro… whom we don’t deserve problem child 3 junior in love download
I’m going to be talking about this guy to my kids and grandkids ’til I die.
Don’t read this quote out of context… then, it would just sounds awkward:
By the way, Ken Griffey Jr. has found Ichiro’s “tickle spot” and had him on the ground, during warm-ups, tickling him until Ichiro could be hurt crying out in laughter and pleading for him to stop. Tried to get a picture, but missed it.
The worst part about having great seats is that when the drunk’s pants fall down after security tackles him on the field, he can’t hear you laughing from so far away.
(Yes, the drunk’s pants fell to his ankles when security was escorting him off the field.)
…we change the channel for 5 seconds , and Griffey hits his 400th home run as a Mariner. 613 career home runs overall.

The bat shattered and flew over the head of 3rd baseman Adrian Beltre
The sun popped out yesterday just in time for baseball. Another year and another Opening Day at Safeco Field.
The smell of garlic fries in the air. Some BBQ from Dixie’s and a Mac & Jack’s amber calling. Lower level seats on the third base line. A standing ovation for Griffey before he even got to the plate. I’ve never heard Safeco so loud.
Don’t want to hex us… but the Mariner’s are 6-2. The USS Mariner is tempting us to:
The M’s, at 6-2, have now won 10% of last year’s total. If they go .500 the rest of the way, they’ll finish 83-79, an improvement of 27 games.
[Baseball brings out my "special" side.]
Opening Day at Safeco Field is here. Ken Griffey Jr. will be a mere stones throw from our thrid base seats.
Somehow, just yesterday pictures from a 2008 Spring game came to light.
I really like the 7th inning stretch.
The Seattle Mariners lost $4.5M in 2009. Losing 101 games with a $121M payroll will do that to a team.
Even Ichiro hops into the conversation…
In 1993, 16 years ago, I bought a Ken Griffey Jr. jersey. This is one of my treasures to this day. He has always been a hero to me, and being able to play with him is like a dream come true. Now we share a dream: and that dream is to work hard together and win a World Series.
(PS – Ken Griffey Jr. has now been given his own tag on LH.com.)
Last year Chelsea and I attended 20+ Mariners games. Even with the economy the way it is, everyone in Seattle might be attending at a record high in 2009.
The Mariners sold more than 16,000 tickets on Thursday as fans reacted to the news that franchise icon Ken Griffey Jr. was returning to Seattle.
I’m feverishly peeling through the USS Mariner and Lookout Landing. Could baseball season be just 6 weeks away? Baseball season is just around the corner, folks.
Unlike Obama’s Office of the President-Elect, the Mariners’ Department of Baseball Research is actually a real (and very cool) thing, and will be a necessity to prevent me from shoving a fork into my eye during the 2009 season.
The worst season in Mariners history is done: 61-101
Nobody expected this on Opening Day.
{ We had fun eating BBQ, hotdogs, and garlic fries all season…. so we can’t complain. }
