Joe’s not the only one. (Though I did wonder why Jeff Nelson had gone to work as Zduriencik’s bodyguard . . . maybe to beat off enraged GMs of other teams. )

Congratulations… swift karmic justice for a team whose previous GM was getting robbed blind by sharp operators like Andy MacPhail.

Actually I wonder if MacPhail and Zduriencik are actually the same person? Don’t laugh. You’ve never seen the two of them in the same room, have you? So there. 8^)

I read this, and immediately thought Nelly=Jeff Nelson, and â€˜of course heâ€™s bigâ€™ â€¦.

Until I read that, I was still thinking “Jeff Nelson”

Right, there’s that other “Nelly” who, like, raps and sh*t. Oh, and Furtado, too, I guess.

One thing occurred to me today …

In the past, good players used to come to Seattle and suck.

Former .300 hitters suddenly couldn’t break the Mondoza line.

Former good pitchers would lose their touch in Seattle.

And all the while, Bavasi overpaid for their disappearing talent.

Jack Z has done the exact opposite.

He gets guys on the cheap who exceed their previous performance level, such as D.A. and Branyan.

It’s nice to know that Seattle is NOT a black hole for talent after all! Players can actually come to the Mariners and IMPROVE.

Yeah, it may be blind squirrels and nut, but nut they did (eventually) find so credit they get.

I just want to give some props to Lincoln and Armstrong. After a series of disasterous moves, they finally got it right. Not only did they get it right, but Z wasn’t on anyone’s radar during the GM search. Now, I am not sure anyone would argue that the M’s could have done better. It is unfortunate that we had to suffer through the Bavasi era before Lincoln and Armstrong changed course, but these are the guys that are now hosting that home run derby. Good work, guys.

What a difference a year makes, eh? In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be this excited over the direction of the team and have this much faith in the guys running it… It’s just crazy what a 180 we’ve seen. Keep it up!!!

Also, Bilbo, you are a lucky summabitch. Get Zduriencik’s autograph and bring us some intel!!!
