Dan Wilson Deserved Better Than This
Dan Wilson took the Mariners closer to the World Series than anyone ever has, and one bad year later, he's out. I have thoughts and some questions for the guy upstairs.

Holy Smokes, Thank You Rick
After 41 seasons and more than a few "Holy smokes," Rick Rizzs has called his last Mariners game. I never met him, but I grew up with his voice, and like a lot of Mariners fans, I'm going to miss it.

I have a lot to say about the Mariners and Dan Wilson, but I'll hold off until I'm ready. One thing I will say: I don't agree with all the hate Dan Wilson is getting. He led us to our first ALDS in years and deserves respect.
Chicago Went Nuclear This Week

I finally replaced my travel bags. After looking around for a while I landed on Ridge, and I went with the green suitcase and a black backpack to go along with it.

A day at the ballpark with the best-dressed fan in Seattle. I spotted the Mariner Moose making his rounds and wasn't going to let the chance go by. He was kind enough to stop for a photo. Some days at the ballpark are about the game, and some are about this.

First, I want to say thank you to all the PSE workers for their hard work to restore power. This post is in no way to shame the hard working employees and especially the line crews and workers on the going.
