On the day of the Mariners home opener, it was announced that Pearl Jam lead guitar player Mike McCready would play the national anthem at the May 19 Mariners game.

The anthem is part of Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America Night at Safeco Field.

McCready, a Roosevelt High School graduate, has had Crohn's disease for more than 20 years. The condition can cause painful digestive-tract problems, fatigue and malnutrition.

For every ticket sold through the CCFA offer, the Mariners plan to donate $7.00 to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. Reduced tickets are available for purchase here.

    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    yeah and what national anthem? there's loads of them
    Yeah there are lots, though since the game is in the US, I'm guessing its the US anthem, played hendrix style on the geetar.

    But for fun, I googled the Scotland National Anthem, great lyrics:
    Oh say can you see
    up my kilt a tiny Willie
    that my best friend Ewan held
    for me while I took a long pee
    And the sheep are nervous
    cause we make them serve us
    when the lassies refuse
    cause we act like buffoons
    Colin Montgomerie is great
    unlike that haggas I ate
    Oh Scotland you're groovy
    much more than that Mel Gibson movie
    This weekend we rock Portland
