Re: Seattle Mariners

Much like the ‘curse of Ruth’, I sometimes feel this team is in need of exorcism: rename the team “Rainiers”, bury the ‘Mariner Mojo’ (but not the history) and the Moose, bring back the sleeveless ‘vest’ jerseys, keep dealing for young talent wherever possible, fire Servais, and trade the compass ro...

Re: Forum members introduce yourselves

My name is Pete, and I’m a Marinerholic. Although I’m from the urban cancer that is Jersey City NJ, I’ve lived here in the NW for 33 years, driving across the floating bridge as KJR announced the Ms had traded Spike and Hendu to Boston for a bag of broken bats and rag arms. The Ms became my team tha...

Re: Board ideas

This may sound gauche or passé, but I think a ‘Member Intro’ topic where new (or all) members can introduce themselves, along with a pic, might be a decent thing to do. Online conversations get a little more meaningful when you have an idea of who you’re talking to, and occasionally it helps de-fuse...

Re: Welcome Seattle Mariner fans!

Uh, I was a Cubs fan in the seventies Purely self-deprecating. I lived 10 blocks south of Wrigley on Racine & Lincoln during those years while in school studying music. I spent my share of time in those bleachers. Hey, we might have rubbed shoulders. Were you there 72-76? 74-78. I attended Roosevel...

Re: Welcome Seattle Mariner fans!

Re: Welcome Seattle Mariner fans!

DT, if you put up the funds for the hosting and the website registration, will you accept a contribution to help things along ? My check is already in the mail. No need, the benefactor handled it all. Good to go for four years. M's will have at least 2 WS titles by then and a one cent donation by e...
