If I recall correctly, the Mets just decided not to do what the fans said. I hate when the internet blurs into real life.

You're fortunate then.

It’s not offensive, it’s just tedious. It was funny for a while when it first came out, years ago, but now it’s irritating.

I had a co-worker last year who would talk in lolcat speak on a semi-regular basis. It was pretty obnoxious, but she was one of those types who copped from various humor sources of the same ilk and didn’t have an original thought in her head, so frustrating/boring.

I love it.

I don’t know why anyone would hate it. It should be the Mariners official motto.

I love it too.

I was just afraid we’d kill it before the Mariner’s came close to the playoffs.

Has anyone confirmed that you can acces it through the public M's site?

It appears to be like one of the private March Madness pools you can set up on Yahoo, ESPN, etc.

Any group can set up a group night and call it whatever they want. The M’s give the group organizer a private page on the M’s website for managing the group night tickets and information. The group organizer forwards the link or the password through a group email or individual emails.

Here, the group organizer is either doing this as a great hoax, or someone who really needs a hug forwarded the link to the wrong person.

Or it is a smokescreen for the furries.

He was one of our insider guys, along with Jeremy Reed’s brother who made an appearance last year.

I think I vaguely remember that.

How did this shit happen before we had widely available internet?

I know that was after that, but still.

I'd just like to point out that I was out of the country when that shit went down.

M’s set a record, Yankee fans set a new one, so the M’s had a huge macarena night.
As I recall, this was roughly 2 years after it came out, so it’d be like having 30,000 people sing ‘Who Let the Dogs Out?’ in 2004 or so.

"Who Let the Dogs Out" was a 2000 Mariners thing almost exclusively, I think.

I remember in 2001 or 2002 I saw a Baja Men “Greatest Hits” album that consisted entirely of remixes of that one song. That was a delight to see.

by Decatur on May 20, 2009 3:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

There was a "Who Let the Dogs Out?" night at Safeco in 2000 or 2001

The Baja Men played a pregame concert. I made sure not to show up until 30 seconds before the first pitch.

We can take them out at the source.

They work somewhere in Lower Queen Anne. They run help wanted ads on craigslist.

The only thing that could make this night better.

Is if they brought out the midgets and mini cattle from the jack in the box commercial and started singing the song.

Big band behind the outfield fence and everything.

I really want to see Streetlight Manifesto.

If the majority of the bands on warped tour didn’t suck, I’d totally go.

I saw them in Seattle a few years ago

while they were impressive, the crowd was less impressive.

I am glad that the crowd didn’t suck when I saw TSPO in Seattle the same year.

I'm really pretty shocked a Streetlight crowd was bad.

They’re my favorite ska band, and I sort-of dance like a moron every time I listen to them in my car. They’re so upbeat, and they’re so easy to sing along to. It’s really shocking to me that that their crowd would be so lame….hopefully when I get a chance to see them, they will kick ass.

What happened to the good ole' M's promos?

Star wars night and the like. I’d rather see a ton of stormtroopers running around the ballpark than a bunch of those stupid shirts.

Trying to appeal to the younger generation, I guess.
