At least they could have got the dude to pull his shirt down. Bleah.

They should all start smooching during the 7th Inning Stretch!

I say hire a straight couple to run interference by going for tongue and playing under-the-shirt.

@3: I think me and the Fleshy Man Toy cam be that couple!

Also as a sidebar, when I went a couple months ago with the FMT, we were smooching (with tongue even!) a lot. Like, pretty much doing the googly-eyed, kissy face thing and snuggling the whole time.

Not once were we asked to stop or leave.

can kiss roughly 4.1 times per inning.

Is this four and one-tenth, or four and a third?

Hey, that looks close to the section where my seats are. But we only have Japanese tourists around us. They get drunk but never make out.

Dan. You and Terry should have mirrored this couple and then seen if you were asked to leave!

Who cares? They'll be the only 800 people at the game.

Did the seating hosts have an objection to the plumber's crack that was surely being exposed by the male half of this couple?

I want to go to the game and make out with a baseball player!

Balt-O-Matt... you know Terry. He's not the PDA type. Neither am I, for that matter.

Are they even called PDAs any more? What is this 1998 or something? I thought everyone had an iPhone or a BlackBerry.

by my count they kissed each other 37 times.

Jesus, Dan, you really need a hobby or something.

Sounds to me like he's got one.

Everyone is NOT equal at Safeco field. Seattle is 49-82 and out of the running for years to come. Minnesota is 74-57 and 1 game back. Who cares who gets kissed when we're all getting screwed?

I've got several, Fnarf...

It's good to have a hobby.

All the softball players and supporters should star making out during the 7th Inning Stretch.

In a perfect world, I could go to a Mariners game with you and make out, Dan...

Okay, but as soon as I count 38 kisses from ANYONE - there's going to be some stern warnings issued.

maybe it's just me, but if I were that couple and knew Dan was taking pictures of me, I would be a little creeped out.

You had to explain 'straight' to Terry? And he cried all the way home?

Hope you gave him some private affection along the way...

FYI: The Seattle Chapter of the National Organization for Women has an online petition to sign asking the Mariners to hold a Pride event.

Sign it at: http://petitiononline.com/Mariners/petition.html
