    You kinda need to understand what that means in northeast Portland. There usually is more to it than baseball.
    I was fishing a little with that question. Was wondering how he was going to answer that.

    Kelnic getting optioned to the minors did make me giggle a bit.

    How the hell are the M's scoring so many runs so far this season? Their batting average is actually pretty bad as a team as far as I can tell.

    And they are down their two best arms in Gilbert and Kirby and a great bat in Robles.

    They simply aren't striking out as much. Getting deep into at bats and getting to the opponents bullpens earlier.

    A couple games ago I saw we had more walks in a game than strikeouts and I was so happy. Lol.

    Loved seeing a left fielder throw out a runner at the plate...that's great baseball.

    Fun to catch games here and there. I’m rooting for the Mariners to finally make it to at least a World Series.

    Usually they start the year shitty. Then hit their stride when it’s too late.

    What's gonna happen is the arms that are down now (Gilbert, kirby) will come back and the Mariners will remember we fucking suck on offense and go back to 3-2 wins or 3-2 losses lol.

    It's just the Mariners way.

    Cal is raking, the rest of the team is hitting .211 or something. Shameful.
