    The Postal Service sings, ‘And you may case the grounds from Cascades to Puget Sound, but you are not permitted to leave’, which gives me goosebumps when I here it.

    good grief, ‘hear it’. I’m so shamed.

    Funny, after seeing the score I’d guessed Hochevar was having a really good year. Again, the M’s hitters make the opposing pitcher into vintage Maddux.

    No. 37: Perry Como sang “(The Bluest Skies you’ve ever seen are in) Seattle”. I think it was the theme song to Here Come the Brides, a late 60’s TV show that starred Bobby Sherman, among others.

    The others, of course, included David “Hutch” Soul…

    I also remember Game Theory (the cool ’80s alternative band) doing a kick-ass cover of that song on one of their albums.

    Some of us watched just for Mark Lenard.

    Funny you should mention that, MSB…I just saw him in an episode of Mission: Impossible the other night as well…

    And, yes, the smallest waterfront we’d ever seen probably was in Seattle in those days — that was before the Denny Regrade, after all. 🙂

    As good as Felix Day is, it doesn’t yet to compare to Halladay. As has been noted on this site, he is really, really good. He just passed the Indians for the major league lead in complete games.

    106: Unfortunately, the Jays would probably ask for the entire rosters of both the M’s and Rainiers in exchange for RH.

    As good as Halladay is, he doesn’t compare to Felix at the same age. At the age Felix is now, Halladay had less than one-fifth the strikeouts and was about to be sent back down to the minors to tear down and rebuild his mechanics.

    (And while we’re building fantasy baseball rosters, can we add Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum, and Joe Saunders to the rotation too? Hey, maybe the Jays will throw in Marcum?)

    I remember that…back in 2000, he had an ERA of over 10 in 60-some innings pitched. I know ERA isn’t always a great determining factor, but still…ouch!

    dang. can’t remember the name of the local band with the ode to 520.

    Optimus Rhyme?

    oh, not nearly that successful; a local bar band with a few self-produced tapes. The lead singer had grown up in that Urban Hellhole known as Juanita, so he knew the soul-destroying effect of driving 520.
