The 1970s/1980s Phillies' unis were always cool.

What Betts and JBJ are doing in 2016 defies explanation.

I guess the domino effect isn't such a silly thought.    Good hitters leading to good hitters further down in the order

Red Sux are putting up roids' era numbers so far.  

 

You forgot Bogaerts who might be the best of the 3.  Damn I miss having a farm system.  Even now when guys come up it's just fun to watch them develop.  It's innate for fans to rally behind home grown players.

Last night's game was the biggest comeback in Mariners' history. Previous biggest was against the Angels in 1996, trailing by 8 runs.

It's amazing how dipoto turned the mariners so fast into a contender.  One of the best young gms in the game 

Yep, Baldoquin, Ward, Blanton, Trumbo and some lousy drafts agree with this premise.

Just imagine how much better theyd be if he learned his lesson here about ignoring the bullpen. Maybe then the mariners could have taken a game against the shitty angels two weeks back

Was at that saturday night game. That crowd went quiet real quick. I recognized it as the same silence we made when jerry ignored our bullpen and we ran out frieri one year too many. Isringhausen. Madsen, and a whole slew of other guys no one cares to remember.

Corey Seager with 3 homeruns tonight. Damn son. Both Seager's are on fucking fire.

Time to ship a box of specimen cups to Yawkey Way.

@Chuckster70if they told the players they had to hike up the pants and wear spats then I'd say those were cool uniforms but no player before the 80's would have been seen in those pants. You want to go throwback then get rid of the flared ankle length pants.

Kelvim Escobar's cousin is starting for the Dbacks against the Cubs at Wrigley this morning...wind blowing out.

 

Fowler lead off the game with a dinger (has been on base 100 times this season already)

I liked the old title...why did it need changing?

Zack grienke's looking like one of our signings this year

Making his major league debut, Jason Coats got into a scary collision with J.B. Shuck in the outfield and had to leave the game. Latest word is he's okay.

Who cares about him, how's my boy JB?!

I switched over to this feed after the 7th since watching Alvarez pitch is like torture. As soon as I switched the Angels put up a couple of runs and Young broke up the no-no.

We're working on a high spot in the draft. Whatta 'bout it?

Ah fair enough. We tried that for many years ... hasn't panned out too wonderfully.

[Angel Oracle]

Good point, because other than Seager, most of Seattle's key players were either acquired from foreign lands, via trades, or via FA.

We're on our favorite team's fan website.  I have never gone on a Mariners website, if one exists.

Still looking up at the better teams in the division, alongside you guys.

We get it bro. Its exciting to be a fan of a team with optimism. Its gotta be even more exciting when youve been in the dumps for going on 15 years or so like you guys. But pump the brakes holmes....2cd wildcard spots in june isnt really bragging rights...especially amongst fans of another team that swept you at home 2 weeks back. 

I was at that saturday night game...lol. those seattle fans are LOUD!...but they get quiet real quick...
