all quite true - loved the banner yesterday - THANKS JUNIOR- Mike Cameron is everything JR ever was playing in the field - i have watched him in at least 120 games this year.
For about 1/20 the salary- he also is reported to be a real nice guy in the clubhouse whereas Griffey was reported to be a total pain in the ass in recent years
Same with Randy Johnson - look what the Mariners got for him - two starting pitchers and Carlos Guillen, who will take over at SS if AROD leaves which i dont think he will - he's the leader of the team and relishes the role, whereas anywhere else goes he will be back to being the new boy on the street.
I thought it fit since it looks like it could be possible for the Mariners!
Local Joke !!
Two guys from Washington, die and wake up in hell. The next day the devil stops in to check on them and sees them dressed in parkas, mittens and bomber hats warming themselves around the fire.
The devil asks them, "What are you doing? Isn't it hot enough for you?"
The two guys reply, "Well, you know, we're from Washington,
the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a
chance to warm up a little bit, you know."
The devil decides that these two aren't miserable enough and
turns up the heat.
The next morning he stops in again and there they are, still
dressed in parkas, hats and mittens. The devil asks them
again, "Its awfully hot down here, can't you guys feel that?"
Again the two guys reply, "Well, like we told you yesterday, we're from Washington, the land of snow and ice and cold. We're just happy for a chance to warm up a little bit, you know."
This gets the devil a little steamed up and he decides to fix the two guys. He cranks the heat up as high as it will go. The people are wailing and screaming every where. He stops by the room with the two guys from Washington and finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling sausage and drinking beer.
The devil is astonished, "Everyone down here is in abject
misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourself."
The two from Wash reply, "Well, ya know, we don't get too much warm weather up there in Washington, we've just got to have a cook out when the weather's this nice."
The devil is absolutely furious, he can hardly see straight.
Finally he comes up with the answer. The two guys love the
heat because they have been cold all their lives. The devil
decides to turn all the heat off in hell.
The next morning, the temperature is below zero, icicles are
hanging everywhere, people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan and gnash their teeth.
The devil smiles and heads for the room with the two from
Washington. He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens. They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like mad men.
The devil is dumbfounded, "I don't understand, when I turn up the heat you're happy. Now its freezing cold and you're still happy. What is wrong with you two?
The Washingtonians look at the devil in surprise, "Well,
don't you know, if hell froze over, that must mean the
Mariners won the World Series."
