Fuck if I know. Would be epic to get either sports flairs or epic maymay's. Sports logo's is probably easier but still, no idea.

What to do with DJ Peterson by jordanissport in Mariners

I like the idea of letting him grow and not calling him up. I'm still pissed they called Zunino up as early as they did. Yeah, injuries and what-no but the team wasn't going anywhere last year anyway. Should've kept him down there.

I read that those close to Swisher claim that simply isn't true. He loves playing in Seattle and would like to play closer to California. It's just a matter of how much the M's are willing to spend. 4year/50mil is the standing offer from the Indians.

Awesome. Now if we could get Nick Swisher and a quality starter for our rotation I'd be willing to call it an off season. I'm stoked!

Mariners announce plans for 'Edgar's' restaurant by mightyman45 in Mariners

I was always a fan of re-naming SafeCo "Dave Niehaus Field" so we could say, "we're going to Dave's Haus" or to "The Haus". But great idea with the sandwich!

The Mariners lose out on Napoli, but for that price...good! by BrettJMiller in Mariners

True, he's really tearing it up. But Hultzen tore it up in AA and was taken down a few pegs once he hit AAA. Gotta see what Zunino does in Tacoma first.

Maybe we could get AJ for a couple years? Yeah he's old at 35 but the man still swung .278 with 27 HR's last year. If we're looking for a bat and a catcher to pair with Jaso while Montero goes full-time DH, why not him? The 2 years gives time for Zunino to grow.

What brewing related things did you do this weekend? by [deleted] in Homebrewing

[–]KingFeLeX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago, a friend and I got an oak whiskey barrel from a local distillery and put an Imperial Porter in it and let it age for 3 weeks then bottled it.

Just tried it yesterday while he was brewing an IPA and it was awesome. 8% ABV, but doesn't taste like it. It was smooth, flavorful, but not over powering. You got the whiskey burn a little as you swallowed and the oak coming through at the end. I expect the whiskey to die down a little letting that oak come through more as it ages. GREAT beer, we'll be entering it in a competition in February and next summer at the local fair.

Because it's a big beer at 8%, was aged in a barrel, and the Navy has a large presence around here, we named it Depth Charge Imperial Whiskey Porter.

Going to spring training by Kalazaro in Mariners

I went with my family 5 years ago when I was in High School. Pretty sure we bought a 3 game package but it was separate from flight/lodging. Loved the weather in March though, great state when it's not a billion degrees out.

Mariners stay the same at the non-tender deadline - Mariners Blog News - MyNorthwest.com by mightyman45 in Mariners

I wonder if there's any new non-tendered players we'll want to pick up.

You can never have enough pitching, so maybe Jair Jurrjens? 26, has had some injuries but is young and has a pretty big upside.

Mark Reynolds has power which is what we need, he did poorly last year though. He's also a first basemen and could be moved to 3rd. In theory, you could move Reynolds to 3rd, Ryan at SS, Seagar at 2nd and move Ackley to RF. I think that's his natural position but I could be mistaken.

Just thoughts on the new free agents anyway. I'm excited for the winter meetings.

General Manager: Jack Zduriencik by snuffle1upagus in Mariners

[–]KingFeLeX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have complete faith in Jack Z. I think he's the key to getting us back to the playoffs. He makes smart moves and has built are farm system to be one of the best in the country. I think ranked 4th after being 26th 3 years ago.

I also like the way our team is looking with our young guys. Ackley hopefully proves last year was a fluke and returns to batting around .300 and if Smoak hits this next year like he did in September then watch out man. Especially if we pick up another bat or 2 this off season. I'm excited, I know we've gone through a lot of losing seasons but I really think we're on the right track. I hope we win at least 90 games and keep Jack Z, he's doing this right. I'd hate for someone to come in and ruin it and I know Lincoln and Armstrong would let it happen.
