Jeff, you have to admit, I’m pretty fast for a 8-foot-tall inflatable bird.

45. North Carolina… not too close to Mariners action. He gets to see some great minor league and college ball, though.

Sometimes I think Batista is the only guy on the team who has a clue, or at least he’s the only one who speaks up about it.

There are physical effects due to travel, even in first class. Check the literature.

Undoubtedly. But the M’s, as do most (all?) teams these days, fly their own chartered plane, on their own schedule, with their own seating configuration, which is designed to minimize these effects as much as possible – which is why I don’t feel too bad for them.

The minute that the Mariners fly coach, wedged into middle seats next to a cranky baby and an overweight window-seater that has to get up to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes, I will feel bad for the Mariners and their many cross-country flights.

I understand and sympathize with the sentiment, Dave, but remember, the Mariners do this about 10 times already this summerâ€¦

Thanks for a great Tacoma event, Dave … and Jeff and Devin. You hit it: Bill Bavasi may drive us nuts with how he does his job, but the fact that he’s willing to explain â€” in fact, won’t shut up about it at times when he really probably should â€” to a bunch of fan-geek propellerheads like us makes him a first-rate person.

I wonder if Theo Epstein would dare party with the Sons of Sam Horn.

Where is Dave at on the East Coast again? I’d love to get some kind of Mariners get together out here.
