The irony of
1. Someone from Oregon calling another man a douche
2. Someone from Oregon calling another man a douche and telling them not to post in a message board thread
ha
I knew it could get interesting
anyway, how yaw feel about Cano
I'm thinkin overpaid/ guess we'll see
Well pretty much no one wants to come to the mariners, and I think signing cano was a huge statement. Kind of like "we're fuckin serious here, we want to win, and we're serious about trying to attract high profile players, even if we have to pay more". I hope it brings talent, but if not I'm not too worried. I haven't completely given up on the young guys yet. Also by throwing that much weight around it proved that their big tv deal will be used partly to improve the team, which everyone was questioning and hoping would happen. I always liked cano, he has an amazing swing and is one of my fave players. When he was signed I was straight shell shocked.
I don't know, the blinders are on when I'm talking mariners cause I'm a straight homer lol. But I'm a firm believer in what griffey once said. He said the seahawks 12th man is a legit influence and if the mariners had "the 10th man" figuratively speaking, shit would change dramatically. This is a promising year, but fan support is a huge issue. I hope we can get more fan support. If smoak breaks through, and we go on a tear real early while attendance is relatively higher in the opening of the season and safeco starts to fill up more frequently, we could easily go for the playoffs.
Then again I think the same shit every year.... lol
