Pitchers and catchers have reported. Bedard is signed and is the #1 starter appearing opening day. Felix is #2.

I am excited to see what McLaren can do with the team having control from the get-go.

As always, in all Seattle sports, I am excitedly optimistic about the upcoming season - hoping this is the year.

Here is to a productive spring training and a fantastic world series-winning 2008 season!! :D

Go M's!!!

    Bedard's fucking good!! Your team is gonna cause trouble for my A's:D... considering Billy Beane pretty much gave away our whole team, like he always does! I hate that guy:mad:
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    That's destined to be etched in stone somewhere.

    Bought my first tix for the 2008 season. Saturday 7/19 12:55 in the afternoon. Roll the clock back to the 1980's game!

    "The Mariners will wear retro uniforms featuring the old gold "S" on a royal blue cap and the word "Mariners" in blue and gold across the front of their jerseys. The Cleveland Indians will don the uniforms that were featured in the movie Major League."

    i'm not one to celebrate over injury...

    but this made me tingle...

    prematurely...

    but the feeling was still there:

    It must be fate...

    The Mariners play three night games at Shea Stadium (june 23, 24, 25) the week of the PJ New York shows.

    :D

    Alright - was that Spring Training longer than usual? It sure seemed that way to me.

    I am glad the regular season is upon us!

    Go M's!!!
  • senninsennin Posts: 2,146
    The slate is clean! Time for a fresh start!

    Prediction: 94-68....AL West Champs!

    Half hour until first pitch!!!

    It is a mixture of jitters and joy. It is a reunion with a pal who will take us through the long lush days of summer and back into the chill of early autumn.

    It is the beginning anticipation, waiting for the Red Sox and Tigers, the Yankees, Angels and Indians to come to town.

    It is baseball, returned from its hibernation, a day that should be celebrated like a national holiday, the firing of the starter's pistol to begin the magical, marathon march to October.

    That's what I'm talkin' about! JJ gets his first save. M's get their first win.

    1 down, 161 games to go.

    Go M's!!
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    It is time for King Felix to shine tonight!!! Let go ahead and get our first 2008 series win out of the way tonight against the Rangers!!!

    Go M's!!!

    Well good luck to yall. I'd root for Seatle just because I like the town. Just got a old school Mariners hat, but mostly cause I like the way it looked + the town + the letter S. I'll root for yall, may be even over Houston and Texas. Not as strong feelings for any Baseball team as the Dallas Cowboys in football.
    bombs, dropping down, please forgive our hometown

    Excellent! We'll take all the support we can get!

    I love that old trident logo.

    we're #1!

    and...undefeated in the month of march!

    haha. all hail king felix!
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    Too bad JJ blew the game last night. Hopefully we come back and win the series tonight. And hopefully JJ got 1 of only a few blown saves all year, out of the way last night.

    Go M's!

    If my Atlanta Braves don't win it all, I hope the Mariners do. I really liked watching Griffey Jr when he first came up and just started pulling for them. I think the M's have a pretty solid lineup and I really like the top of the rotation with Bedard and Hernandez. Don't know much about the other starting pitchers, but if one steps up and has a good year, the M's should be dangerous with a good 1-3 rotation.
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    There we go! First series win of 2008! Couple of key homers and some great pitching from Silva!!!

    Go M's!!!
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    Alright, lets see if we can bounce back this afternoon against the O's.

    Play ball!!!

    Go M's!!!

    How you liking Bedard so far? Better get used to his lame injuries. Sherrill and Jones....thank you very much Seattle.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    "he was experiencing a "little inflammation in his
    hip", manager John McLaren said..."

    What????? What a wuss...
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    I hope King Felix can come out and pick up another win in Baltimore this morning. He generally pitches pretty well there.

    It's a 4 game series, we could still pick up the split and not lose the series.

    Go M's!!!!
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    GOD DAMN IT!!!! :mad:

    Way to blow a fantastic outing by King Felix, bullpen!!!

    Fuck!!!

    We need to A) have more than a 2 run lead going into the 9th and B) get JJ Putz back in the game!!!
