Took my son to the Moroners game last night. Great outing. We enjoyed watching the White Sox take batting practice all game.
The boo birds came out in the 5th inning. I didn't think you guys did that. Well done. But you really should stay through the end of the game. It was a good lesson for my son in the subtle, but important differences, between fans at Fenway and fans at Safeco. Thanks for reinforcing that.
Mariners fans are the best!

Well, it you think that adds value here. Seems kinda messed up, shrug.

Finally hitting their stride, the Mariners score 3 runs on 12 hits!......in 3 games. It really wouldn't matter who pitches for the opposing team. It's Nelson Cruz and the Seven Dwarfs.
With the pitching staff hurting, the offense is really doing their thing. Why would anyone go to a Mariners' game?

The garlic fries. But I'm actually partial to the pre-game bratwurst from across the street.
Or to hang out in that center-field, stand up and ignore the game, pub place. No idea what it's called but it usually has more fans than the base lines.

You sure? Last night I saw the whiff stick and the double play stick but no boom stick.

They M's own last place in the American League at 13 games behind. It could be worse, San Diego is 14 games behind in the National League.
They are getting shelled so badly on a regular basis it's painful to watch.

Playing for that #1 draft pick now. At least we get Paxton back this week, but at this point I'm not at all against blowing the whole thing up.

Just heard that SafeCo has decided not to extend their 20 year deal with the Moroners. I don't understand why. It would seem that a major corporation would want to be associated with the awesomeness that is Moroners fandom.

They could change the name to "Edgar Martinez Is The Most Overrated Hitter Of All Time Field" and it would still be a better park than Fenway. 
Seriously, your smack talk is terrible. The Twins have put up 14 runs on 21 hits on us tonight (so far), and this is the best you can do?

I've sat at Fenway Park right behind home plate and did not enjoy the experience at all. The game was good, actually pretty exciting, but the place is an absolute dump*. Dark, dank and dingy, with moldy old passages in which to fight through all the crowds to get to the concession stands. History will only get you so far. Now this was a while ago - the year before they put the seats up on the Green Monster - so they may have fixed it up by now. If they haven't they really need to.
* Sorry, Layback's smack talk may be terrible by your standards but he's getting through to me. Even if I was serious in what I said above.

Nobody watches Moroners games unless forced to, including me. What would make you think I watched the game?

If you are a real baseball fan history WILL get you all the way. There is nothing in baseball to compare with a Red Sox /Yankees game at Fenway, or an afternoon game at Wrigley. One of Babe Ruth's girlfriends may have sat in that same seat you sat in behind home plate. The voice you heard yelling at Oriz for taking that 3rd strike may have been Ted William's ghost.
If you want a modern baseball park with all the modern amenities and great views yinz have arguably got the best one in the country there in Da Burgh. But if you want to see the wall where Mazeroski hit that seventh-game, world-series-winning, walk-off you have to go over to the U of Pittburgh campus where they have saved a section. It ain't the same.
