Miguel Olivo is a Mariner!

Obviously Z would only pull the trigger on this move if he had some bigger plan in place.  There is no way he would just go out an acquire Olivo to be our starting catcher.  I'm really excited to see which GM he is about to fleece with a big trade.  My hunch is that it will be Kansas City GM Dayton Moore.  Olivo is the personal catcher for Zach Greinke, so obviously Z's interest is in getting Greinke.  We'll probably be able to flip Rob Johnson and Josh Wilson in addition to some made up prospects for him.  Congrats in advance Z.  You truly are the best!

Now here is something to get excited about

Congrats to Kenji Johjima for hitting 4 homers to win whatever they call the Japanese Homerun Derby.

Anybody see the year this dude has been having?

Good for him!

Who says Freddy is past his Prime?

It's February which means baseball is right around the corner. To celebrate this fact teams around the country are having "Fanfests". You and I had the opportunity to stand in line for 3 hours last weekend to trot around the bases, or even catch a pop fly! Maybe if we were really lucky we wouldve bumped into Doug Fister. Some lucky White Sox fans had their dream of meeting Freddy Garcia come true

Ex-Mariner Game Continued

Not sure if people wanted to keep this going or not, but it got a lot of comments last time so here it is again...

Ex-Mariner Game... play however you want, or for extra difficulty points, try using the first letter of the last name to start the first letter of the next Mariner's first name. That make sense?

Here's an alphabetized list of everyone we used already. You can also do a CTRL+F and search to make sure they haven't been used yet.

Any fond memories about the players? Post away!

Ex-Mariner Game

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!!!
