In Honor of Jay Buhner's 44th Birthday

Abbey is right.

Since Buhner, the M's have demonstrated a strick policy of always getting burned in trades and overpaying for mediocre/pathetic free agents.

oh Jay Buehner, i love you still...

Classic Mariner.

And for once, another team's loss was our gain. Usually, it was the other way around -- you could have made a world series winning team with ex-M's we traded stupidly.

Imagine if it were made today - "what kind of idiot trades for Richie Sexson!!"

Having grown up in NYC as a true-blue Yankees fan, I totally relate. So many times I wanted just a few minutes in a room with Steinbrenner and a bat.
