Was at the Bellevue mall today… found myself in the Mariner’s Team Store, in front of the clearance rack. Did you know that last year, when it looked like the M’s were wearing black they were actually wearing a dark, dark navy blue? I find that ironic since everyone thinks that Yankee pinstripes are navy and they’re actually black. The jersey was marked down 40%… no name or number which made it cheaper so I bought it. I sorta wanted an Ichiro/51 on the back but that was a bunch more cash; I settled.

People that know me outside of this blog just shit themselves. You see, I’ve got a lot of baseball jerseys… hockey too, but that doesn’t matter in the summer. I’ve got one from the Bridgeport Bluefish but the rest are Yankees jerseys. All twelve of them. I’ve never worn any other MLB jersey. Ever. I’m a Yankees fan and we take things like that very seriously.

So why would I buy an M’s jersey now? While the M’s are in last place??? The day before a three game stint in Yankee Stadium?!?!?!

Simple: Boston is playing at Safeco this coming weekend. And yes…

I simply hate the Red Sox that much.
