Oh, I knew what you meant

I was more or less just making an announcement. Sorry, I’m not sure why it was important that anyone know. :/

Yeah.

Between that and the new, marching-band-style formation for the Nat’l Anthem, things are getting weird. I wonder if any other teams do this sort of thing?

I took a photo of it

And it’s on my blog. I’d grab the link, but sadly the photos on WordPress don’t work that way. All I can do is provide the link, it’s the second photo down:

I don’t know when the “V” thing started, but I didn’t notice the hugging Saturday. I’m wondering how long it will be before they’re wearing kilts and painting themselves blue….

I think "SS?" is very apropos

given at times, no one knows what the hell he is doing – Yuni especially. The bottom three is like a triumvirate of offensive suckitude.

Coach Lampkin is at the game tonight with his Union High School baseball team.

He told them that if they made the play-offs he’d bring them up to a game at the Dome …

according to Tom, they proceeded to chant Dome Dome Dome after every win this season, and made it to the 2nd round of playoffs.

by msb on Jun 23, 2009 7:26 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yup.

he did work there as a clubhouse kid before he ever became a Mariner …

Let’s see the coach become a major leaguer if he wants to motivate his team.

I work until 7pm. I mean I could make it but I’d be at least an hour late.

The earliest I could get out of work would be 6:30.

I typically follow games on Gameday and Fangraphs at the same time

Imagine my surprise when I fired up Gameday and saw the game was still in the second inning. But at least it was still 0-0.

Imagine my further surprise when Fangraphs disagreed and said we were down 2-1.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
