Fuck the Seahawks. Let's go M's.

Why the ouch for Weeks 14 & 15? Arizona is improved but still not a contender. And you couldn't ask for a better opponent on a short week than San Francisco, who should be just as horrible as they were last year, and will probably have packed it in for the year by the time this game rolls around.

True. But that's still an awfully short week.

Dry your tears M's fans and, fuck it, skip a therapy appointment: Seattle took its first series in its first series of the new season! Yay! Yeah, yada yada, pitching is suspect, and so it was last year. But the offense is improved (also a problem last year) and that's what won 'em the games and almost led to a sweep. Go ahead, feel good for a second.

Football? Fuck yeah. I'll be there. Arizona could be much better next year with a legit running game in Edgerrin James. Warner, Boldin, Fitzgerald, James? They should win more games for sure. I hope they have an O-line that can run block. Niners? So sad. Brandon Lloyd was their last tie to civilization.

The NFL is unleashing a barrage of late season Thursday night games this year beginning, all of which will be televised on their very own NFL Network (Comcast Cable Channel 417). No extended digital cable package, no Thursday games for you. I'd like to think that the Seahawsks being selected for one of these games, as well as two HOME Monday Night games, shows exactly how far they have progressed in the eyes of the league. The short week is the price you pay for success.

The NFL Network game will be shown on a local channel.

Oakland is an old AFC rival too. It is going to be a lot more fun playing those guys next year. I remember too many Kingdome games where the Raiders fans were louder than the 'Hawks fans.

Right you are Raider Hater.

goldang it - shut up about frickin' football. I can't stand football's encroachment into Baseball territory - every year, more and more. It's like putting out Valentines candy just after Christmas. I would love for once people could shut up about football. Opening day for the Mariners and what does that hack Paul Silvi open with, the Seahawks.

ooh, I play 16 games a year. oooh, I'm fat and get take a lot of time outs because I'm so winded from running a whole yard.

yeah, let's see those jerks play 116 games a year, THEN you can talk football all you want.

Right on. Football is lame. And not only is baseball cool, baseball is NOW. Football's over. In so many ways.

I like both, SHHHH, but am way amped up for Baseball now. Sadly, NFL Network being year-round and 24X7, the encroachment will only increase. Come Fall, I won't argue.

For me, thank god all that rediculous college basketball is freaking over.

Did you see that U-Retard vs Dickwipe College basketball game? They won by, like, one point. It's so great, how they do it for the PURE PASSION OF IT. Did you know that they, like, don't get paid and stuff?

I should have my own tv show about cooking dinner at home every night (for free) for the PURE PASSION. Sometimes I'm finished cooking, like, one minute early, sometimes -- it sucks and everything -- but I end up running one minute late into actual dinnertime. Then...I...fade...away.

I can't stand football's encroachment into Baseball territory

WTF? The "boys of summer" now play into freakin' November. And pitchers and catchers report to spring training in February. Almost the entire year is "Baseball territory." How can football not encroach on it?

And holy crap, a baseball fan calling football players wimpy? Are you kidding? Baseball players stop the game if it starts raining. They can't play if they might get wet.

And anyone can play 116 games a year if the actual time the spend doing something during each 3 hour game works out to be 2 minutes.

Frankly, I'd be a bit more worried about weeks 3 and 4. They will be very, very tough games. Also, Detroit in the first game may not be the slouches that we have come to slander and generally disrespect these past years.

Weeks 7 and 8 could be vicious too.

Felix pitches tomorrow, so opening day is really tomorrow. ;)

The bats are looking good, but the bull pen is looking suspect as usual.

Nothing personal, I always liked him when he was a solid smart pitcher, but 65 year old Jamie Moyer is not our ace, he is done, he needs to die on the mound while throwing a change up or become Pat Thibedau's campaign manager in the 43rd.

Bavasi needs to get Ebola.

Baseball runs twice as many plays per game as football. Most football games feature less actual action than me and a can of beer.

"Baseball runs twice as many plays per game as football."

What does that mean? What is a play in baseball? Is it a play when Bernie Williams steps out of the batters box for the 49th time during a single at-bat? Was it a play when Norm Charlton would paw at his crotch so lasciviously that it caused discomfort to the viewing audience? I need some answers here.

I dunno FNARF, I can do some wicked stuff with just myself and a can of beer.

A c'mon people, don't we have enough love in our hearts for baseball AND football. It's not a zero sum equation (like politics, apparently) we can have both in our lives.

Moyer is old.

Enuff Moyer-bashing already. Would you trust any of those other starters to be at the head of the Mariner dinner table? "Aging vet" implies that you're not at your pinnacle anymore, ok? But the experience that comes as a result of being able to have been successfully competing for such a long time in the big leagues holds great value that goes beyond pure athletics. Simply put, Moyer is a valuable asset to the young players on the Mariners, he's a competitor who can win his share of games, and he's willing to mentor along the guys that'll be taking over in the future. That's what a team does. That's what a team player does on his team. That's baseball. Like it or not, he's our Big Daddy.

And, as much as I like a guy like Freddy Garcia, you can argue that they keep a Moyer over a Garcia because of the former's value to the other pitchers on the team. A guy who believes and is willing to give. Too bad Freddy never had a number one mentality while he was here. That's your difference.

I'll give you tailgating, because lord knows I like a good hot dog with all the trimmings, but shirtless fans in ten degree weather sounds more like people without the sense to go inside.

But that's not my point. My point being, someone is ALWAYS talking about football. No one talks about baseball. Marsha Marsha Marsha, Football Football Football.

My other point being, back to hot dogs, are where are the goddamn Kosher dogs? Those bastards Cloverdale have squeezed out the All Beef at Safeco and I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

LLoyd there is no room for sentimentality and melodrama in baseball. Moyer got lit up for 9 hits, he is a set up man, not an ace. He was good and solid many years ago and I cheered him on back in da day. But he is not an ace. If he was at a table I hit him with a pork tamale in his eye.

Felix is an ace. They need to stop babying him and let him throw. Felix is the next Dwight Gooden without the crack addiction. Pitchers that throw get injured less, pitchers that dont, get injurerd more, thus Latin pitchers get injured less.

Moyer had his day, he is not the wise old man that leads. He is not like an outspoken voice in the clubhouse and nobody listens to him. He is the old guy that younger players trhow spit balls at. You remember? Im sure you played some ball in the past.

All this wise old man stuff is wishful thinking. He is finished and the hitters are getting hard ons just watching game videos of how slow he pitches because they know theyre going to light him up.

Seattle wants a winning club, we deserve a winning club. We have great bats and a good small ball club that can produce runs.

Moyer must die and we must get pitchers.

To quote the great Tony Montana: The Raiders. I kill those ka-karoaches!!

Ol' Tamale Eye, like any pitcher, relies on changing speeds. Yes, he's slow (eg. couldn't dodge your toss, so he sent you to your room, and to spite him, you listened to Cannibal Corpse at top volume...on your HEADPHONES, wah), but slow pitchers rely on location; fast pitchers try to overpower. All pitchers change speeds, regardless. The slow thing doesn't convince me.

Where's Matt Thornton, that fast-pitching, pitcher-of-the-future bastard? Sure, Chicago, but whiffed up from the effluvium. Hey, kid, your whole career is maybe still ahead of you.

As far as fratracide goes in crowning "King" Felix the new Dayday, at least not till he can buy his minions a round of Sauzas. Till then, Jamie swabs his bum bum up, wipe-stlye.

Head full of maggots is a classic.

Lying there cold after a torturous death
Your life ended fast you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
The maggots infest your disfigured face
Puss through your veins takes the place of
blood

Man, that schedule has the makings of a 12-4 season, assuming little dropoff from the Seahawks.

But with Steve Hutchinson gone from the offensive line... dunno. And it is the NFL, where a few injuries and bad bounces can mean the difference between a winning season and not making the playoffs.

And HOORAY for the Mariners taking a series from the hated Angels. They'll be fortunate to get a split of the 4 game series this weekend with the A's, but this is a very good start for them. They're clearly a much better team than last year.

"Hitting is timing, pitching is upsetting timing"--Ted Williams. Moyer can't throw hard enough to disturb a cloud of smoke but he can still fool hitters.

Every pitch in baseball is a play. It's all about tension and release. Football is all about 350-pound guys destroying each others' tendons. No tension, no release. Just a slow periodic thudding, like a headache.

Go Chiefs!!!

There's a reason why football is talked about year round: It's the number-one sport in America. It has the highest ratings, sells the most merchandise, and Super Bowl Sunday has become a major holiday.

I like baseball but the season should be cut down to 116 games instead of 162. While we're at it, let's shave off 30 or so games from the NBA season.

"Every pitch in baseball is a play. It's all about tension and release. Football is all about 350-pound guys destroying each others' tendons. No tension, no release. Just a slow periodic thudding, like a headache."

Ok, enough. There is nothing slow about a play in a football game. Every play is full speed, full out. It is a game played by incredibly big, fast and coordinated men at high speed. While not as purely athletic as basketball, it requires every individual to perform as one. It is the ultimate team sport. Baseball is a sport of individuals. It's almost like golfing. One person throws the ball, hits the ball, pitches the ball. A baseball team will often succeed or fail based on a single person. That rarely, if ever, happens in football.

I don't dislike baseball. It's fine. Safeco Field is a grand place to watch a game and take a family for a nice game in the sun. But it just doesn't compare to football.

I know, I know, I hear the "it's too early to crow" replies already, BUT...

The Mariners are in first place.

Meche rallied to a good outing after a tough 1st inning, he kept lots of deep flies inside the park, and he was executing on a greatly-improved (gasp, SEME, GASP!) change up.

Good defense, timely hitting, aggressive baserunning, an impressive-enough first outing by Jake Woods, and Hargrove sticks by Putz to get him a (not blown) save. Reason enough to enjoy the first week of the season.

And the wee lassie named King Felix hasn't even taken the mound yet. If he's the heir apParent as everyone seems to assume, he'll get us our second series victory tonight.

Felix lives, Long live the King!!

So far so good, like I said our bats are awesome. Johjima seems to be a man amongst boys. M's are looking good. But that bull pen is scary.

Death to Jamie Moyer. Yes, Sachel Page pitched until he was 58, but there is a big difference between Jamie and Page just like there is a huge difference between rocket and jamie or the great Nolan Ryan. They had it into old age, Moyer does not. Sings ~Off with his head ~to the tune of Canibal Corpse's savage death.
