Missy, thanks for the invite!

[rant]No offense, but I went to a Mariners spring training game in Surprise (vs. KC), and based on how the FOP's (that's "seniors" or "oldsters" or "old bats" or even "old b*stards" to you non-Sunbelters) treated my kids and behaved, I'll never be attending another M's game. Ever. It's a long story, but trust me when I say M's fans (except you, of course) are on a par with Raiders fans for class. Or lack thereof. I rarely get tempted to beat up old men, but I was sorely wantin' to put a whuppin' on a whole section of 'em. Grumpy old b*stards. And I contribute to their social security and medicare. Ungrateful mother...Whooops![/rant]

Sorry, but yes I do feel better!

Let's just hope the Mariners never play the D-backs in the WS!

I'd like to hit the older parks, while they're still here. I'm a little late for PHL, PIT, and CVG, I know.
