“The Mariners are still playing baseball?

I thought they moved to Oklahoma.”

Yes, that’s along the lines of what I was thinking: things could be worse. Check out the traffic at Sonics sites, what little there is is strictly post-mortem gnashing.

Baseball always finds a way to reward you, you just have to look a little harder for the reward sometimes.

Baseball always finds a way to punish you, also, and sometimes you don’t have to look hard at all.

Guys, I come here as much or more than I go to check the daily scores. Your witty, informed and insightful commentary makes even seasons like this one exciting and damned interesting. Without USSM the Mariners would just be a team that stunk instead of the human, complicated, talented and ‘a few guys away from contending’ that you so deftly argue them to be. Nice work. Thank you.

I attended my first Mariners game when I was 23.

In 1979.

Actually, I wasn’t quite 23, but it was the month I would turn 23.

John in L.A. — if the FO had a time machine on their hands, they would screw that up too. It would be very dangerous — Star Trek episode “time anomaly” dangerous. Vidro could end up meeting…Vidro (not Pepe).

Interest is seriously waning. 42 posts on a Felix Day game thread? I would expect September to be slightly better since some of us will want to see the call-ups.

#12 Or offer him arbitration as he leaves…

Or say they do let him leave and offer arbitration, then they’ll use the two draft picks on college relievers.

We could all go on:)
