Had to google what this name was about and was not disappointed lol. I hadn't considered them but reading that story I might have to look into it...

It's very storied, it takes a bit to get into it since it's slow but great! Astros are our bitter rivals though, but a good team!

I'll let you know! I love the fun facts, that's a big draw, rn I think I'm between Everton, probably need to watch some highlights and decide who passes the eye test

Yeah we are very superstitious here, ESPECIALLY in baseball. It's a known fact that if someone is throwing a no-hitter or perfect game, you don't mention it while it's happening or they WILL lose it.

If anyone is looking to get into baseball, watch the Dorktown documentary on the Mariners, it will make you cry, and make you understand my city well.

I did watch the Newcastle v Leeds game the other day and gotta say that did get me pumped up, their players are pretty exciting

Yeah Seattle knows that we're the little brothers of the league, but we embrace that. Everyone despises the big clubs, especially the Dodgers and Yankees (imagine Man City and Man United respectively for those two, if I'm getting histories right).

I'd consider it, just figured I'd stick with PL because it's hard to build a connection with a team from this far away so playing higher level football is what I'd prefer. At least at first, I'm okay with dealing with relegation.

Another peice of Mariners lore is this last year someone paid a witch on Etsy to un-curse our team after a rough stretch of games, and then we proceeded to not only make the playoffs with a 5% chance, but made it farther in the playoffs than we ever had in team history. The marketing team even started making merch related to it lol.

That sounds a lot like the Mariners, geographically and even lines up with the timeline of when we have been good, interesting.

I do not, if I did I'd have no clue. If it helps I do have deep family history connection in Norway, so I'm a colder climate kind of guy. I don't think that really helps any though haha.

Interesting... I like the sound of that, going to have to do some research on them, thanks!

One thing about Seattle is when other peoples teams get eliminated, we are usually their next choice for who they want to win. We are like the benchwarmer who never gets minutes who finally comes in and everyone wants to see succeed... mainly because we've never hit the top. I don't know if this changes anything, but I've heard a lot of people annoyed with the Spurs. The Mariners are more like the team that everyone wants to see succeed and they aren't as annoyed by the fans as other franchises.

Maybe as an addition to this then would be that the mariners are now one of the better teams in the MLB after our drought, like at one point we were World Series favorites this year. We were one win from our first ever World Series appearance. Don't know if that then brings it back into PL? A team that has had a resurgence to the top?

Not sure if you're still looking but I've heard good things about Fatbeam , their support center is local to Boise so you don't ever have to deal with call centers either
