If you're cool you've already been playing this when you get drunk with amigos.
I'd really be happy if this got all sorts of neato comments.
HCM Rules:
1 - Name an Ex-Mariner that hasn't been listed already.
2 - One post per user per day
I'll get things started with the man... the myth... the legend... the grower of the world's greatest mustache...
HENRY COTTO!!!

ReplyDeleteHey EP -
ReplyDeleteYou obviously know the rules of the home edition, however the online version doesnt come with the Pete O'Brien stipulation. Way to try and end our fun. This will go on forever!!!

ReplyDeleteJay Buhner
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna add a new wrinkle to the game. Use the first letter of the last name as the first letter of the first name for your new Ex-Mariner.
ReplyDeleteFor instance wanamaker just said Jay Buhner... I'll go with
Ben Davis
Not for everyone, not a rule, just for the real pros.
Sorry for all the text. Resume the game:
Ben Davis
You're making me abandon my plan to name 2009 Mets that were ex-Ms Finn but I guess I was gonna run out of them soon anyway. Dave Magadan.

ReplyDeleteAaron Sele...
ReplyDeleteKeith - We welcome any participation, and your Mets spin is a truly creative twist of your own... this new addition was just for those experienced Ex-Mariner players. Please don't feel like less of a player if you don't comply. We encourage participation of all kinds.

ReplyDeleteJim Presley
ReplyDeletePaul Abbott
ReplyDeleteThe only Mariner who can go up in an elevator while someone else is going down.
Aaron Heilman.....you guys never gave the poor guy a chance!
ReplyDeleteWe'll give it to ya, even though he never stepped on the Major League field for us. Another good Met connection though.
ReplyDeleteYou need to have actually playedin a mahor league game to count. So David Ortiz (or whatever he went by back then. What was he hiding from? Why change the name? Is that what he bought all his steroids under?) or Pokey Reese... they don't really count.
Horacio Ramirez
ReplyDeleteRich Amaral
ReplyDeleteRichie Sexon.......boooooooooooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was playing off of ramirez, not amaral. Spooky timing tho
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about it too much EP, seeing as Rich Amaral was already played earlier... third to be exact. So Richie Sexson is great (well, in a matter of speaking)
ReplyDeleteSidenote: Congratulations Don't Call Me Gabe... you're the site's first LOSER of the Ex-Mariner game. Keep trying though.

ReplyDeletedave henderson
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sean - You are the second loser in the game. I expected more since you are such a veteran of the game, but in fairness to you you are typically passed out by the time we play this game
ReplyDeleteI do not think there is another former Mariner that's first name begins with the letter H.
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of the game:
Julio Cruz
Chris Bosio
ReplyDeleteBucky Jacobsen.....git r done
ReplyDeleteJose Guillen
ReplyDeleteGerald Perry ... Ruling?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I don't have a problem with that. But I. Ant seem to think of P's that haven't been mentioned... Phil Bradley, pete obrien, Paul Abbott, Paul sorrento...
ReplyDeleteCan anyone else help us out? Otherwise I'll go back to G.
Paul Spoljaric
ReplyDeleteLooks like Poslon made an executive call - I say coaches are fair game as long as it was at the major league level.
ReplyDeleteSteve Trout
terry mulholland
ReplyDeleteIn my defense, I believe Spoljaric did pitch from the M's
ReplyDeleteNo need to defend it, it's what we were looking for. You're an asset.

ReplyDeleteBilly Swift
ReplyDeleteShane Monahan
ReplyDeleteMike Cameron ... easy I know.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it would be funny to have nothing but lists of names here, which I want to continue, but with baseball fast approaching, and all of us here at HCM starved for professional sports... I thought why not add again to the little game.
ReplyDeleteIn between new names being played, if a recent name sparks some fond memories, please share them with the rest of the Mustacheers. (try not to go too far back in the list, and I know we've already wasted some great ones. I'll make an exception for Pete O'brien)
For example... Mike Cameron.
Most people will say the 4 homer game, which was great. But my favorite Mike Cameron memory was roughly a few games into the season. In the first home series of the year (maybe even the first home game). He was taking over for Griffey. Big shoes. Big shoes.
Anyway (and I'm sure the details are off, but fuck you) he makes a homerun saving catch and Safeco goes apeshit, (sounded like it at least, cuz I was in Pullman). Side is retired and Cammy is due up next inning. He walks to the plate and gets a standing ovation. Just awesome. He then proceeds to strike out on what I remember being (probably wrong) three swinging strikes. He heads back to the dugout to another standing ovation. He was already a fan favorite. Sean I believe we were watching this game, if you can confirm or deny any of this memory, it'd be appreciated.
Anyway... enjoy the rest of your day.
Carl Everett. Ha ha his best moments were off the field. He didn't believe in dinosaurs. Maybe if he borrowed darren daltons time machine he could see them first hand.
ReplyDeleteOn the Mike Cameron story - the standing ovation went through the inning change. It lasted the entire time he was in the on deck circle.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best Seattle sports memories
Cameron - Even better!
ReplyDeleteCarl Everett - A true lunatic. He had an interesting Mariner relationship. I once saw Jamie Moyer strike him out and as Everett walked to the dugout he tipped his cap to Jamie. Of course he also hit a homerun off of him and grabbed his crotch too. Still not sure what to make of him.
Yes Finn we were watching that game. FSN just replayed that game on monday. Too bad I Fd up and got kicked out of the game, I guess I will just have to share memories now. Thanks for reaching out Finn, greatly appreciated
ReplyDeleteErik Hanson- I had the "pleasure" of playing in a golf tournament with him. Since retiring he has become one of the top amateur golfers in WA. Long story short- total dick. And I'm a delight to play golf with.....
ReplyDeleteGlenallen Hill (sorry, couldn't get anyone with an H first name)
ReplyDeleteHe is the only man to hit a ball out of Safeco.
Cool, so you hooked us all up with another H?
ReplyDeleteAll I remember about Glenallen Hill is that he can hit homeruns out of Safeco, no big whoop....
ReplyDeleteJohn "I hate baseball" Halama
ReplyDeleteErik or Peter shoudl have a story about John Halama. I always screw it up.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't any H's that I can think of, so I'm going with Darnell Coles.
I once saw him hit a bunt straight off homeplate in to fair territory and it went to high, that he'd made a throw in possible. He was safe at first. This blew my mind. I wondered (sometimes still to this day) why all ball players didn't do that. Free singles all day long.
My favorite Halama story is that his mom routed against him when he pitched against teams she liked better.
ReplyDeleteChad Meyers
ReplyDeleteHe only played a few games, but I hated him because of his name
Miguel Cairo. I hated him more than I hate pete's best friend gordon.
ReplyDeleteThe best Cairo story is that USS Mariner published the lineups for every game and put a R, L os S to designate hitters. WHenever Cairo played they listed him as 0.
ReplyDeleteChris Widger.
ReplyDeleteThe Halama story comes from my friend who said he was standing in the bullpen area when Halama was warming-up. A distraught, yet eloquent fan simply stated:
"Oh no no no Halama, you are not going in. You are not good."
Apparently this was well within earshot.
Hey guys! Don't you remember me? I played two of my best seasons with the club. 1995-1996.
ReplyDeleteOf course we remember you Doug! A real cog in the '95 engine!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll always remember wishing Willie Bloomqist was more like Willie Mays Hays.
ReplyDeleteBob Wolcott
PS This weekend I'm gonna start a new thread with all the names listed already... should make this a little easier as the game becomes more challenging.
Bobby Valentine. Not sure if you guys saw the game where he got ejected and then snuck back into the dugout with one of those fake mustache/glasses sets. People still talk about that every time bobby a's name is mentioned in ny.
ReplyDeleteVince Coleman.....He used to throw firecrackers into crowds of people
ReplyDeleteChris Snelling
ReplyDeleteThe Australian Cal Ripken. How many consecutive games did he play in with us? 6? 8?
Scott Podsednik.
ReplyDeleteRemember when he hit that triple? ... I think.
Back to the P's Yes! But can I just go for one since I finally remembered a good one? I guess I'll wait till midnight. That's right I'll still be awake.
Pat Borders.
ReplyDeleteYes!
Brett Tomko
ReplyDeleteTino Martinez
ReplyDeleteTo me, Tino Martinez has the most latino sounding name while looking and sounding like the least latino man I have ever seen or heard. And I grew up in Mill Creek
ReplyDeleteMatt Thornton.
