Mojo Risin'?

by MfaninAlaska on Jan 10, 2008 9:57 PM PST

I'm guessing that's going to be the "catch phrase" for the season.

M's have updated their official website with a new banner... JJ, Felix, and Ichiro are the pictures on the bar (No Raul.. guess he's not the face of the fans)... along with the pictures is the slogan Mojo Risin'.

I'd be happy if they gave the whole Mojo thing a rest for a decade or so.

I've got a great slogan for the new season

how about 'Bavasi fired'. Because if he goes forth with this stupid Jones/Bedard trade, it'll happen.

No Mo Mojo

good god, even the marketing department prefers gritty veterans to promising youngsters. That's just sad.

Worst Mariners slogan ever?

"Anything Can Happen"

runner-up?:
"Hit It Again and Again and Again."

I wish I were making these up.

Remember "We're Playing Hardball"

That one sucked. That seems like a de minimus requirement, not something to brag about.

Believe me I know

I lived through them. but I still think Sodo Mojo is the worst one ever, seeing as how it makes no sense. At least "anything can happen" has some honesty AND some optimism - "hey, yeah, we're crap, but an earthquake could split off Southern California and Oakland could burn to the ground, and then we're RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING!"

Blasphemer!

I named my dog Mojo after that summer.

"You guys should be in every major city. This is some heavy shit. This is, like, Lone Ranger heavy, man."

Mojo risin'?

That's what she said.

But seriously, I agree, "mojo" has lost all meaning for me.

by JLC on Jan 10, 2008 10:06 PM PST reply actions

that isn't a bad catch phrase

when you consider what song title it sounds like. It certainly seems to go hand in hand with what we can expect from the team this season.

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin.
I see bad times today.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like were in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

I don't think it's a CCR reference,

Y'know, if they're still doing

the mojo "risin" bit, maybe they don't actually believe they will make the postseason in 2008 and will just continue to improve, waiting for our shot in 2009.

If you were in the Mariners PR Department
