    Thank goodness it wasn't the wrist

    Agree with @Buck Turgidson though. One of my absolute favorite places to visit. Mount Rainer and Olympic National Park are magical. It’s beautiful up there.

    But they can go **** an AIDS d1ck

    Never forget what the Seattle Sonics did to the Rockets in the '96 playoffs

    I had a soft spot for Willy T. Loved the speed and slappy hitter style. Had zero instincts for reading the ball in the outfield but his pure speed could overcome some of his initial miscue’s. If only he could have learned to take a walk here and there.

    Love the physical beauty of the place. Mt. Ranier is magnificent.

    I was looking at Willy on BR the other day and was stunned how abysmal his slugging was. In 2005 he had something like 20 XBH and 150 singles. Frickin' incredible!

    Who says they didn't advise him not too? He should have been selfish. If the Mariners didn't want him to go then they should have given him a million dollar bonus. He made more money in one night than he'll make this season. I'm sure he's fine for missing this week after making that extra cash while on a rookie contract.

    I got to hand it to our guys, I half expected a let down after the NYY series. Nope.

    Go Stros!

    In his 2 years with Houston, 115 of his 319 hits were infield hits, 45 were XBH

    Well, the Mariners did already give him a $1.75M bonus.

    And they lost 6-3. Those insurance runs in the 8th were huge since the Yankees were threatening in the 9th. Do umps hate Donaldson? Maybe his antics annoys some of them. The 3rd strike to end the game was borderline but looked like a ball. Maybe it's a coincidence but it always seems like umps calls strikes on close pitches that were a ball when it comes to him. I've never see him getting a break. Then again I don't watch them often.
