They're interviewing Ken Griffey now.

Must have been fun sitting on that bench the whole series.

I know we've been ordered by the Feds not to discuss it.

But man, I still can’t believe he made it all the way into pen with that bomb against Anaheim in Game 7. I thought for sure he was going down after the 2nd gunshot.

You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.

Shit guys I forgot the recipe for the WS Celebration Suicide Punch.

Is it two parts arsenic to one part rat poison or is it the other way around?

No, that was May 28th

the day Junior blew out both knees and Chuck Armstrong got GMZ liquored up to convince him that Vidro’s presence was missing from the clubhouse. All that happened that day was Jeff getting fitted for a straight jacket.

He posted a recap in pictures a few days later, but I can’t find the link and our archivist just committed Seppuku.

Geoff Baker, I forgot all about him.

They say he still does the “Geoff Baker live show” from remote locations as he is evading the law.

A few weeks ago, I saw a bootleg copy of the GBLS.

He did podcast from the back of a jeep while being chased by mountys. It was kind of awesome. He talked about living day to day off the grid, doing unimaginable things for money when he couldn’t find day labor, running from the police, and how the Mariners would hit better with runners in scoring position if more people weren’t so selfish with their at bats.

Hahahaha screw you Mayans!

The M’s cause the great purging before your whole sun going out apocalypse thing.

BOOYA! You got Slurved!

I am txting this from the SafeCo parking lot.

It was amazing. The team came out and slapped hands and hugged fans.

Ichiro shook hands for like 30 minutes after the game. He kept saying “We did it! We won this for you Seattle!” Over and over again. Just like everyone always said, the team turned around and really learned how to win the day Ichiro started being a yelling screaming clubhouse leader and selfless team player! What an amazing run!

I couldn’t reach to shake Ichiro’s hand (there were little kids, and I was too happy to be a jerk) but Ichiro looked right at me, smiled and gave me a nod.

The cops are closing off downtown and it looks like the whole place is going into full party mode! Seattle is going crazy!

I LOVE YOU GUYS! I LOVE JACK Z! I LOVE THIS FUCKING TEAM!

THIS IS THE SECOND BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

THE MARINERS WON THE WORLD SERIES!

But then I still have like 100 left over still and Nuclear launch codes are like once in a lifetime opportunity.

And beside I got to launch em all before Jack Bauer gets here.

Rec'd for 24 reference

As if Jack Bauer would ever give you a chance to say that though. He always kicks in the door just as you’re saying “before Ja…” – oh shit.

Finally, now I can be a happy drunk.

Instead of a surly, depressed drunk. Thank you Seattle!

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

Who did we play again?

I have been away for a while. When we beat the Angels in the ALCS I decided to send myself into a coma.

by Kirk on Mar 1, 2009 11:00 PM PST reply actions  

We defeated the San Diego Padres.

Which made the victory all that much more emotionally satisfying.

Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism

by esoteric on Mar 1, 2009 11:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Oh right.

Thank god it was them and not the Phillies. It would be like playing Mariner’s past. Beating the Royals in the ALDS was good as well.

by Kirk on Mar 1, 2009 11:03 PM PST up reply actions  

Its too bad the Nationals got knocked out in the NLDS.

I was hoping for an M’s vs. Nationals WS. Basically two worsts to firsts.

by Fin on Mar 1, 2009 11:06 PM PST up reply actions  

I agree.

It was such a feel good story, triumphing over the Red Sox, Yankees, and the Rays to win the AL East, and Adam Jones blossoming into the 5 tool star he is now.

by Fin on Mar 1, 2009 11:14 PM PST up reply actions  

I find it funny how all that spending the Yankees did last year after not making the playoffs didn't do much for them at all

If a 90+ win season leads to the conclusion that they should spend a quarter of a billion dollars…how much will they spend for a 75 win season?

by Fuzz on Mar 1, 2009 11:16 PM PST up reply actions  

Well you have to remember that Texiera was injured in the first game of the season.

A-Rod getting banned from baseball for his steroid use didn’t help much either but he is so unclutch that he wouldn’t have mattered in the playoffs anyway.

by Kirk on Mar 1, 2009 11:22 PM PST up reply actions  

I'm amazed

With the increases in popularity of SBN and now their partnership with Yahoo, I’m amazed that Jeff still appears to have a high amount of creative control. It’s weird to see that happen these days.

I'M SO HAPPY MY CANOE MADE IT TO SEATTLE FOR GAME 7

IT WAS DIFFICULT AT TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PASSAGE, BUT HOLY SHIT IT WAS WORTH IT. APOLOGIES TO THE FAMILY OF THAT BOY I MUTILATED IN THE INTERNET CAFE DURING THE GAME THREAD WHEN SILVA WAS SEEN WARMING UP IN THE BULLPEN.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.

Don't you remember??

He passed away in the most inspiring game World Series game 6 of recent memory! That shoulder cancer was just too much for him… He still managed to tough it out through seven innings, strike out 9 batters, and allow only one run. AMAZING!!

by Max Bailey on Mar 2, 2009 3:38 AM PST up reply actions  

I'm sorry, but this just proves what a terrible trade it really was

I mean, yes, he got through 7 innings, good on the lad. But, he’s just always getting injured… and, I’m not 100% sure about this, but death sounds like it could be a case for DL… maybe even the 60-day DL, though that might be pushing it a bit.

by Indigo_Satellite on Mar 2, 2009 6:09 AM PST up reply actions  

True

But putting him on the Death List (Infinite DL) means we get to retain Eric’s ghost eternally for spiritual reasons only known to the voodoo practicing Mariner Moose! Maybe THATS what mojo is….

I’m pretty sure I would shit my pants/cry/laugh hysterically were this to ever occur.

Well I just got back to Alaska after a night in Seattle celebrating the win.

An entire section of AK Mariner fans at Safeco really pushed the limits of what you can get away with without being kicked out. I really think 40 loincloth clad hairy Alaskan mountain men right behind home plate did a lot to distract Padre pitching.

In hindsight, the moose stampede through Pioneer square was a mistake.

I guess the Cubs will have to wait another year.

It’s a shame, they were so close until Griffey shut the door on them.

by abender20 on Mar 2, 2009 9:17 AM PST reply actions  

This just in:

Ichiro has commandeered the team jet for a flight down to Papua New Guinea. He’s going to buy the entire supply of SP Lager and bring it back for the celebration parade!
