…Folks, the World Baseball Classic is back in full swing and I’ve been loving every minute of it…For those of you not familiar with the WBC, it’s an ‘international professional baseball tournament’ held every four years (uh, well, 3 years, I guess?)…The first “Classic” was held in 2006 —I guess that IT WILL be held every four [...]

Bring back “The Kid”
Posted in Baseball/Mariners on Thursday, February 12, 2009 | 15 Comments »
-Clemens and Tejada (among others) are getting fitted for jail suits and home monitor bracelets, Roberto Alomar is wishing he hadn’t banged any hookers (I wonder how that umpire he spat on feels) and ‘F-rod’ is trying to win the public opinion battle (screwing Madonna won’t help)…I wonder how Bud Selig is feeling these days…
Well, [...]
And the Cy Young goes to…

-How does a 24 year old kid that is 5′11″ and weighs 170 lbs win the National League CY Young award?
-With wicked mad skills, determination and heart:
-A huge congratulations to Giants pitcher, NW native and UW Husky Tim Lincecum for beating the odds:
Absolutely amazing…It’s been a pleasure watching him pitch over the years…
-And to think that he [...]
Kicking a bad habit?

Hmmm…I started chewing tobacco ‘full-time’ when I was a freshman in college…That was damn near exactly 15 years ago…Ouch…
Of course I’ve heard about the bad things that stuff can do to you…But I’m young, healthy, ten-foot-tall and bulletproof mofo…Heh…
…I went to the Mariners game (again) vs. Tejas the other night…It’s that time of year when [...]
Bad Century…
Posted in Baseball/Mariners, Uncategorized on Tuesday, July 29, 2008 | 14 Comments »
-UPDATED:
Yes, I am a MARINER fan. I’m ALSO a Chicago CUBS fan (long story). Between the two, I’m use to losing.
This year marks the 100th anniversary since the CUBS last won the World Series (1908). They’re finally one of the better teams in baseball and have a shot at going all the way.
Is that going to [...]

“Swung on and belted”…Into Cooperstown!
Ah yes, the ‘voice’ that we all know, love and admire will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame today.
Mr. Dave Niehaus:
-The voice of the Mariners since their inaugural 1977 season in the Kingdome, Dave has been there with all of us through the highs and lows. I think every [...]
“King Felix”

“Get out the rye bread and mustard grandma! It’s grand salami time!”
HAYUL YEAH! The first Mariner pitcher in history to hit a Homerun!
Then he injured himself and is probably out for 2 months…
Ahh, a bad season continues to get worse…
I don’t have much to say (nice or productive) about Mclaren getting fired either…We’ll just tough [...]
“The Natural”

…Ode to a player that quite possibly might be the greatest of MY generation. If not, I love this guy anyways for NOT taking steroids.
Yup. That 89 #1Upper Deck rookie is the ‘prized’ baseball card of the era…Like the 52′ Mantle and ITS generation…One of my favorites…
Well done, Junior, congrats on 600 Homeruns…
Now please come back to Seattle and be our [...]
‘Mojo Meltdown’

The humble Manager has snapped! It’s about time he lit a fire under the ass of this sorry team!
Mariners Manager John McLaren went berserk in a post-game ‘interview’ last night after the M’s were swept by the LAA Angels. I was a little shocked, Mclaren is usually reserved and passive. His tirade last night would rival [...]

Gentlemen, here’s a new ‘toy’ that is sure to get you evil looks from the wife or girlfriend!
For the baseball fanatic, It’s LIVEBOARD!
Having a tv or radio on at the office can be a distraction. Not with Liveboard! You simply input your favorite team, when that team’s game starts your scoreboard goes live! Sweet, simple [...]
