You know DMZ had to have been under the weather when he refused beer. I’m quite surprised that didn’t make national headlines or something.

Well, either that or he’s pregnant.

Are we sure he wasn’t just “eating club sandwiches” with Morrow (sheesh, the euphemisms people come up with in Vegas — what do you call two strippers and a whole lot of Stoli? A Gentleman’s Club Sandwich).

Outfielder Jason Ellison, traded Sunday from the Giants, had always hoped to land with the Mariners…”It’s pretty unbelievable,” Ellison said. “Besides the whole Willie factor….”

The “Willie Factor”… the Willie Factor. This is clearly a major advance in Mariner jargon, and in baseball theory generally. The Willie Factor, presumably expressed in units of grit, is clearly the long-sought unobservable quantity that constitutes intangibles. Quantum physics has Planck’s Constant, baseball has the Willie Factor. “His Willie Factor isn’t quite where we’d like to see it,” says the coach, “But if he finds a little more grit he’ll be fine. Of course, it would be even better if he just learned to hit.” Or: “The team isn’t scoring runs, or winning games, but their Willie Factor is high, so I’m optimistic.” Or, “That was a heck of a play. His Willie Factor was really obvious there, just hanging out for all to see. Of course, it would have been better if he’d actually got the runner out, but still, what a Willie” or “If his Willie Factor was any grittier, well, he just might spontaneously combust…”

Re-read the article. Sele and Linden aren’t SK grads. Sele is a NK grad and Linden is a CK grad.

There are only about 450 position players in Major League Baseball, so the odds of having two players from South Kitsap High School on the same big-league roster aren’t great.

While it is true that the odds were not great…if you scroll down to the bottom of the article that you see the other two South Kitsap players are Aaron Sele and Todd Linden. Who does Todd Linden play for…the same team Jason Ellison used to play for, so I guess it would’ve happened regardless right?

I promise I won’t photoshop the headshot I now have of ya onto Bloomquist. I can’t, promise, though, that it won’t end up on someone else

What will be the M’s first roster move of the season?

My vote: Chris Reitsma to the DL, Jon Huber called up.
