That guy sits behind us in our mini plan seats. He is hilarious. They decided to go to a Mariners game instead of the Sunday BoSox game. I am about 95% certain that’s him – we’ll ask on Friday.

He really loves yelling SALTALAMACCHIA but one time Laird was in and he was dissatisfied. So we all decided Laird needed more syllables, and christened him Gerald Bartholomew Laird. During that game he yelled it a LOT. We were just about CRYING.

Breaking News!

From EG:

I am told that there will definitely be a “tweak” to the uniform scheme for next season and that red will be more heavily incorporated (pausing to allow red uni fans to shoot their hurrahs).

Now, that you are back with us, my understanding is that a solid red alternate top (think Atlanta Braves) will be used along with the solid blue alternate top. Most importantly, the red cap is expected to return as an accompaniment to the red tops.

Excited about seeing red again at the park?

We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.

You win....

…. forever. Post of the day.

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

I think I'm going to post that after every win that involves something awesome

Like a walkoff or a performance like Nipperts.

These are the rewards one reaps from thumbing through nearly 60 pages of GIF’s on Photobucket.
