Slog - Comments on Looking For a T-Shirt to Wear to Safeco Tonight? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/looking_for_a_tshirt_to_wear_to_safeco_t First, there's this in the PI: M's in a tight race for the bottom At last, the Mariners are finally playing some meaningful games in September. They almost blew it by winning seven of nine in August but rallied with a 12-game losing streak that puts them in a coldly contested battle with the Washington Nationals for the worst record in baseball.

Until you've endured 16 straight losing (and mostly last place) seasons, you have no room to complain.

Whatever sexual meaning it has, adults might get it but kids won't. The impressionable little ones will just think it means cute baby swine. No harm, no foul.

At least you didn't have high hopes. And, its so much fun to be fighting for not last.

We had some guys from Chicago sitting next to us who had never been to Safeco Field before. When I said, "It's certainly no Wrigley Field," the guy next me said, "Yeah, no one's tried to grab my ass." Sox fan, obvs.

His obnoxious buddy also made racist comments all night about the Japanese fans in our section. I finally asked them if they were in town for "the feminine hygiene product convention." That shut them up, but the shirt would've been better.

There are fucking pillars lining Halstead St., recognizing it as a Gay Neighborhood. I'll take pictures of them the next time I'm down that way. All three neighborhoods in that area (Wrigleyville, Lakeview, and Boystown) are heavily populated by gay people. He was probably a homophobic jackass who doesn't like teh gays living so close to Wrigley Field. I still get emotional when I walk by there, on my way to the gay bars. Much moreso than when I pass Soldier Field on the way downtown.

Maybe you should post it earlier?

Glad they caught the 74 express after they almost missed it at N 43rd on University Way.
