OK, I am a Rabid Seahawks Fan. I get Temporary Sports Induced High Blood Pressure at my kids' sporting events. I love soccer, and played much hooky during the World Cup.
I just can't seem to get on board with the Mariners though. All my colleagues are on cloud nine over this win -- I will never hear the end of it. Baseball season at my job is hell.
Cowbell, I totally get that. I used to adore the Mariners and plan our spring schedule around televised games. Now that just about everyone I recognize is playing for the Yankees, it's a lot harder to get jazzed. On the other hand, after their fairly dismal spring training record, the fact that they've now beaten Oakland - who habitually spanks us and makes us cry - well, it's a great way to start the season. After last night's win things should be doubly insufferable around the water cooler. Sorry.

See? See? that's what happens when you play with balls and bats. Is it a baseball team or basketball?
Lou Piniella had a rough day to start with us, but I'm still optimistic.
Oh, Rosie...
I love Lou, Iwanski. Love. Him. Take care of him, 'k? 'Cause I miss him tons and tons.
One in a row!!....WooHoo! :)
I know! Damn. Now if we could just wake up and it be the playoffs, hey, we'd have a frakkin' shot.
