first things first -- Brandon McCarthy returns to Twitter while in the hospital: ‏

@BMcCarthy32: The good news in all of this, is that I set up my fantasy lineups beforehand. So there shall be no excuses at this point.

So, apparently all is well :)

Now, back to the OT. September brings us the return of the Fall... the Mariners' season is once again drawing to a close, with Fan Appreciation Night ("and much much more!")

Have you ever won anything at Fan Appreciation Night? Or any other time? The only time I have won anything, it was Sonics tickets from KJR ...and I think that was only because I answered the phone that night. Nose bleed seats, but fun. Oh, wait, I won a copy of Diamond in the Emerald City: The story of Safeco Field at Fan fest for answering some question about Moyer correctly...

Have you ever been Rick-Rolled? Did you know there was now an alternate version with which one could roll others?

Have you never been mellow?
