My Saturday night is playing Wizardry and watching crappy baseball on TV while drinking water ha.

If you'd be a fair weather fan, you could pick a better team. 

It's the price of being a fan. You have to take the knocks

I would never cheat on my Mariners with a better team, but damn can they be frustrating to watch sometimes ha.  They did win tonight though which was surprising considering the lineup was the weirdest/worst of the year.

I think you just need to give up on baseball. The Mariners have.

Is there a sport to follow that doesn't have a team up there?  Rugby's fun to watch.

Ha true, one day it will all be worth it when they win the world series hopefully...,
I have been thinking about following Curling, it looks interesting.  Seattle has a team, but not a professional team.

I've never been a huge baseball fan, but Ken Griffey Jr. is my favorite player of all time.

Mine's Thurman Munson (R.i.P.)

Bucky Dent wins for coolest name, though!

PS: I used to be neigbors with (and my grandparents were good friends with) the guy who fired:

"The Shot Heard 'Round The World"!

I've got tons of signed memorabilia from him -but- it's all signed "To Kenny"; likely making it all worthless to any other collectors/fans, unless...their name happens to also be Kenny 

(Yeah, I know that the Turfster's already got ALL of them) -but- +5 sports/trivia points to the 1st one to name who I'm talking about

Bobby Thomson?

Bobby Thompson?

W.I.N.N.E.R.!

Were you at the game? 

[Bwigdahl]

well lets see... when that game took place I would've been -38 years old, lol


I mostly just knew it from seeing the Ken Burns documentary... And watching ESPN a lot. That call with the guy going crazy is legendary.

We're good then; you can't math & I can't spelll 

[Bwigdahl]

to be fair though I thought it was spelled thompson too. Only reason I knew otherwise was because I googled "bobby thompson" to make sure I was thinking about the right guy, lol

@Disgaeniac is your real name Kenny?  How does everyone know your name like that?

Yep, my real name is Kenny.

A lot of us know each other's names just from being around here awhile...
