well… he’s the messiah as far as the Mariners outfield goes… so I’m fine with being wrong about that lol

To add to Mike, it's 19th-century infielder Bob "Death to Flying Things" Ferguson, inspired by Dave Niehaus applying that nickname to Gutierrez.

I’m excited about Ichiro coming back. The defense looks great; let’s imagine what the outfield will look like next week.

I know we hate discussions of what Ichiro does to team chemistry, but it really seems like these guys have something going now that isn’t normally there. I think that’s what makes me feel good about their comeback chances, anyway, but I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed a more outward portrayal of camaraderie. Anyway, I hope plugging in Ichiro helps that attitude develop even more.

Correct me if Iâ€™m wrongâ€¦ but Ferguson as a moniker for Franklin Gutierrez is an homage to world-renowned poker player Chris â€œJesusâ€ Ferguson.

Nope, wrong guy, wrong nickname.

I hope Wlad is going to be OK.

Otherwise, they’ll have to make a move pretty quickly because they are short an outfielder for sure.

I’m stubborn. I still think these guys are 5-1. I haven’t gotten over that loss yet.

Correct me if I’m wrong… but Ferguson as a moniker for Franklin Gutierrez is an homage to world-renowned poker player Chris “Jesus” Ferguson. Therefore, Gutierrez is a deity to lovers of centerfield defense everywhere.

BTW, since someone brought up Bloomquist, dare I mention someone we all miss a lot more? I mean, have you seen what Adam Jones has been doing in his first week? (And George Sherrill, too, for that matter).

say hello to 4-2! it wasnt too pretty, but well take it

Say hello to a .667 winning percentage. That’s third in the entire AL.

(Okay, and the two teams with better records are the Jays and the Orioles, and how long do you think that is going to last?. You have to love the early spring.)

So how many road trips did the Mâ€™s have a winning record on last year?

6 series, including 2 in April, but only 3 victorious road trips.
