Wow that was '95, seems like just yesterday, I remember it so well. The minute he scored that run the fans went nuts and started piling on the field, the cops were trying to catch as many as they could, but it was impossible. My bro and I decide to go for it, we jump down, and a cop spots us, side by side we run straight at him, and at the last second, we split around him and he grabs for me, just grazing my jacket, we make it and head for the pitching mound and procede to tear it apart, keeping our own little piece of Mariners history. What a gas that was!
I'm just your average sports nut, I suppose. Of course I'm a bit of a homer - the Mariners, Seahawks, and Huskies are my teams - but I stick with my boys down the stretch, through thick and thin.
What can the Mariners do to rebound from their worst season in twent years? Will Erik Bedard recover in time for the 2009 season? Ryan Rowland-Smith and Brandon Morrow look to make the transition from the bullpen to the starting rotation, so can they combine with Felix to create a young and effective 1-2-3 tandem? How will the M's new front office guru fare - will Chuckie and Howie be able to stay "hands off" long enough for the new VP/GM to accomplish anything positive? Can the Seahawks recover from their early-season woes and rebound for a fifth straight NFC West title? How will the team handle the transition from Mike Holmgren's regime to the ways of Jim Mora Jr? Can the Hawks' defense stop anyone? Can the offense put up more than 200 yards?
Any of you folks out there interested in healthy and creative debate about anything, feel free to speak up!
