New OFFTOP for at least 1000 posts, or whatever.
Here it is. Been a while. Nothing going on right now. No hispanic people playing baseball, no new aquisitions, no news from Jesse Jones, and nothing going on with Seattle College basketball. It's all really too bad. I wish there was more to report, but it looks like it's going to be Iran and Jerusalem in the championship game of the WBC. I certainly hope this "RAD Jihaad" is all it's purported to be.

"Going to a game with some awesome LLers."
Is anyone planning on getting tickets for opening day, or maybe the week after opening day?

I'm hoping to get tickets to opening day.
Since I haven’t been to one since 2002.

Do you guys ever have a superstitious habit regarding the M's, no matter how small or goofy it might be?
In ‘01 I caught every game, on the radio or television. Even if it was just a piece of it due to scheduling conflicts, when they started to steamroll I felt if I missed one it would somehow jinx the team. I never think like that and I thought it was really weird but I couldn’t force myself to miss a game, every time I thought about it I would feel anxious at game time. Very weird as I don’t believe in luck in that manner, no lucky hats, jerseys, etc.
by Kermit. on Mar 13, 2009 9:04 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't really have lucky jerseys (despite my modest collection of them)
but I do consider the 1994 teal alternate as “formal wear” to a degree. That is to say, it is the proper jersey to wear at the home opener and games against bitter rivals, or on games where I expect there to be a large contingent of opposing fans (i.e. Boston, New York). I’ll probably also wear it a couple other times during the season, but on those games I have no other choice.

Not a big believer in luck, but everytime I've had to pay for parking at an M's game we lose
Granted, I’m cheap so I rarely pay anyway, but I’ve never paid and watched a win. It’s my main argument when people ask me why I always park two miles down the road.

Actually, I'm kinda hoping to get tickets for most of opening week, since thats when I'm taking my vacation.
See originally, I was going to take it this month and just head down to Arizona for spring training. But since the WBC took alot of the players away, I decided to wait and go next year. So in lieu of that, I’m taking it the 13th-18th of April, and hoping to catch a week of baseball then. Maybe get a room up in Seattle or something.

I want to work on getting LL Bowling Night set-up.
But it’s going to wait until Monday so I can stop working and have a breather. I can probably cut a deal at West Seattle Bowl since I work there now, and the best days to do anything there are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
