Only humans are retarded enough to continually rebuild over locations of natural tragedy

I want to make a correlation between hope in those situations...
…and hope for the M’s; but I’m just not able to muster the energy.
Opposable thumbs, for the win!
Its a fine line between “excited” and “terrified”…
Are we supposed to throw the team into that volcano?
…or sacrifice ourselves?
And
Ichiro and Guti draw the long straws.
Hey! As a pilot I'm offended.
I’d rather just push them out as we fly over it!
They would be a good deal off course I should think

Can someone make a gif of Wak or Sweeney piloting a plane into a volcano?
I would but am not gif gifted.

Funny enough, I just read Griffey is getting his pilot's license
He flew with an instructor in his own plane from his home near Miami to St. Petersburg.
As a pilot, I am offended!
By Griffey trying to put ANYTHING in the air these days!!
If we started to starve i would eat Felix out.

Any significance, Jeff?

My home in Spokane had these large thick bushes in the front year.
When I was like 5, we had them yoinked out and discovered that there was still St. Helens ash underneath. Also, like 5 rotting baseballs.
Dewey even have the talent to do that?

Wanna stop blogging about this stupid team
and transport rocks to the mountain instead?
I always thought it was three rumbles for "thanks"
I’m forgetting the teachings from my vulcanology merit badge!
Maybe some of those rocks are shape shifters who are trapped

Unless I’m flying that day. I’ve gotten to cruise past Glacier Peak and Mt Baker already this year in my sailplane… Flying > Hiking. :-)
I was going to go climb memorial weekend and now im not :(

Flying around the mountain is so much easier!
…and since I do it in a sailplane, there’s none of that gasoline smell or noise… yay!
I've researched that as well.

Having climbed Rainier
I can say that you should probably become good friends with your local gym’s Stairmaster.
Mt Rainer is only 14,410 steps tall.
Nothing!
by Robert on May 17, 2010 9:38 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I'm sure the first 1,000 or so are okay...
…so its only 13410 miserable steps!
Only the last 4,410 the first 10,000 are not too bad.
Fuck the Angels
For me the first day was actually the worst.
Slogging up to Camp Muir was awful.
See that part was pretty nice for me.
Fuck the Angels
That's what most people tell me.
After a night at Muir the rest of the climb was a good deal easier for me.
I've done it
with the 2010 Mariners weighing me down. I’ll do Everest, no oxygen after happy hour tomorrow no problem.
My wife and I went back packing in the Mount Margaret Back Country area.
It is in the Mt. St. Helen’s blast zone. Amazing they left the bull dozers that got skull fucked in the eruption.

Someone should tell Kotchman to hit fewer ground balls.

He's just doing it because he WANTS to hit ground balls.

That's not happening.
a) Bad teams are funnier, but the game threads are not necessarily better.
b) Our team sucks now, and hey.
c) It’s too big a community to be original anymore. Asking for Griffey to retire has gotten sold old it has retired.
d) Numbered lists are fun to write when you’re bored.
e) Giving this sentence a “G” in the beginning makes it look like it spells the word “BOING.”

This is the offtopic thread.
We talk about pyroclastic flows normally. Also, a good name for a band.
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.
Volcanoes can frequently go thousands of years without erupting
Much like the Seattle Mariner’s offense
And somehow, as bad as Keizer is, it beats the living hell out of Salem.

Ichiro is fucking amazing.
If he swings through that, it’s caught. Instead he slows his bat and it drops in for a base hit.
Single for Figgins! That was different.

Calderas are volcanoes that are past their prime
They’re the Ken Griffey Junior of geology

That phone call would go well.
“Hey Andrew, it’s Jack. How’d you like to give us your versatile 24 year old kid with some talent in exchange for a lazy slow enigma who’s best value is at a position you have decided to fill with one of the best players in baseball?”
I see no problem with this.
If anything, we’re more likely to be a able to pull off a straight 3B for 3B swap

[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Seriously, how does he not get it?
I understand being competitive and not smart and being surrounded by jocks all his life… But can Griffey really think he’s got anything left? I mean, really?
Griffey has spent literally his entire life in and around baseball.
He’s probably scared.

Get Felix up to pinch-hit for Griffey!!

Not to distract anyone from volcano-related discussions or anything, but...
… what a horrible gaggle of (s)hitters to come to bat when the Mariners need runs.

But seriously, what the fuck is wrong with RRS?
I am baffled as to why he cratered so hard this year.
