We are huge Mariners fans, and so it is somewhat sad that ---as the Mariners are playing a September series against a team in their own division---we are not paying attention or even thinking about it. It turns out the Mariners won the last two games against the first place Angels.
September in Seattle is our favorite time of year, because of the leaves changing, the air getting crisper, and the seemingly longer sunsets over the Olympics. We also had the joy of a Mariners' pennant race and exciting games starting at Husky Stadium.
Those final two have been replaced with Presidential speeches from disaster areas. We are hoping that Bush declares September 15 a National Day of Poor Decisions. Kids could dress up like WMDs, Mike Brown, an exit strategy in Iraq, or a "science teacher" discussing intelligent design.
Sorry to get off point, but the Mariners play out the string through October 2. Buy Tickets...or don't.

McGinn is Mayor


when they won today's game, they ran out onto the field like they'd won the world series. it was insane. 30 some hits total, i swear to god, it was like watching little league. but, uh, fun and stuff.
