They didn't get them all, but they came close to nailing all the bums in Mariner history: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/060913

I had almost gotten the memories of Booby Ayala out of my head.....

The one they missed...

Kevin Jarvis. Didn't have enough tenure, maybe, but a bum nonetheless.

Glad to see the Moose get a mention, as well. I always thought that, in addition to the "family sections" with no alcohol, that there should be an "abuse the Moose" section - a random section eacyh night where tons of alcohol is served, and if the Moose mistakenly wandered in it would be pretty much open season.

How can they post that article...

and not mention Greg hibbard. He signed a 3-year deal and got hurt in May of the first year of the contract. Never played in another game (not to mention, he sucked before he got hurt).
