Well, they finally published the info this morning. It must’ve been the nudge I gave on Corey’s blog…

Im Bremerton on Jan. 10, we get the â€œC Teamâ€: Mike Morse, Adam Jones, Rizzs and the Moose. Woo-hoo.

…who will be coming off the throngs of fans who’ll flood the Capital Mall the prior afternoon. Yippee Skippee! I don’t think I’ll be playing hooky after lunch like I did last year.

Isn’t Raul’s greatest skill the ability to confound statistical projections and make everyone expecting him to decline look foolish, year after year?

Or better yet, you can catch Ichiro before he goes to the Red Sox in 2008 to join Daisuke Matsuzaka and bring another World Series title back home for the folks in Bean-town

So you can catch Jones before he’s traded for a declining DH.

They should have an adult statboy version of this where you get to meet Ken Phelps and Kevin Maas and there are games like Pin The Condemnation On Joe Morgan and the Dusty Baker Milk-Can Pitching Contest where you only get one shot at knocking down the set of milk-cans (because you should always swing at the first pitch) and if you win, you win something very old and useless. The top prize could be Dusty Baker himself!

I’m thinking there could also be a Don Mattingly Hair Violations Contest, in which the person who breaks the most company dress code rules could take home a signed copy of the 1989 New York Yankees team photo. “Yes, son. That really is Mike Pagliarulo. Don’t say his name, son. It only makes you sound stupid.”

Is it true that Bill Bavasi’s nickname is Bevo? If so, that would be very fitting indeed.

(I guess to use that term correctly, since in baseball more than just the Mariners behave that way, I should be saying “the nouveaux riches” … i.e., plural)

#38. Nearly 30 years is an awful long time to behave like the nouveau riche…
