Just wanted to stop by and drop off this picture I took during the first 14-inning rubber match between the Mariners and White Sox in Seattle this season.

We've had our differences and I've been one of the victims of the temporary LL banninization (boy did I learn my pixel lesson), but you guys are a fun bunch and I always enjoy stopping by and lurking. ;)

And I wonder where you scathingly funny assholes live, since I don't seem to meet folks like you in Seattle.....hmmmmm.....

Anyway, Mariners put on a great show this year.
Congrats on your successful season!

Please enjoy: King Felix vs Gordon Beckham, August 12th, 2009

It's a picture.

What is the problem, exactly?

I find your lack of punctuation disturbing.

I for one find it to be a well composed photograph.

The horizons are good, Felix is in the wind-up, which always makes for a nice picture, you’ve got that impending-cloud-shelf-of-doom thing going on. It’s nice.

Thanks, I'm glad you appreciate the quality aesthetics at work here. This was one of my favorite shots from the entire series.

Plus, I know how much you all love your King (and personally, I adore whom we refer to as our “Savior” – Beckham)…and it was a pretty memorable game for both teams’ fans.

In September when the Sox were in town, I was watching the final game from the Sodo Showbox bar, and as soon as it went to the 14th inning, I just left the bar to go write the game recap.

By the time I got back to my computer, the game was over, and I was not even a little surprised. =)
