Lol. My theory is that a critical mass of Mariners fans finally decided maybe they were ready to watch some of the WS and that's why this is happening. Sorry not sorry

Toddlers are ruthless. My 2-year-old just said “Good job Cal! The end Cal.“ 💀

Naylor's shoes are the best vibes and the Mariners are going to win.

You’ve gotta imagine Seattle native Sir Mix-A-Lot is having the time of his life watching Cal Raleigh

- Our closer, Andres Muñoz rescues cats and leaves the game on for his cat Matilda so she can watch him pitch.
- We have Josh Naylor, aka "Thicky Henderson," who is the slowest runner yet steals a lot of bases.

Is your team no longer in the MLB postseason? Want to hop on the Mariners bandwagon? We will welcome you with open arms! Here are some reasons why you should join us.
- We've never been to the WS, let alone won it.
- Our best player has a nickname celebrating his big ass.

My toddler just yelled “Demigod!” when Cal got a home run. #GoMariners

• JRod was just singing along to the chant or song or whatever in the outfield 🤣

Reasons why the Mariners are the most fun and deserve to win:
• Fun belts and other equipment pops of colour
• Big Dumper
• Matilda the cat
• Etsy Witches
• Home run trident 🔱
• You may think our mascot is a moose, but have you met Humpy?

I’ve spent most of 2025 feeling stereotyped and abandoned by most of my home country but very proud of the progressive city I’ve decided to call home. Basically, this series is my whole personality and I am 😬. #GoMariners

Saaaaaameeee.

I try not to feel smug generally, but today I am feeling very smug about our field having a roof. ☔️

What does it say? 🤣

Poster on a street pole says “The Big Dumper’s City Needs Public Restrooms” and has an image of Cal Raleigh, a toilet, and a baseball flying toward it. At the bottom is the logo reading “Katie Wilson for Mayor.”

GeekGirlCon needs your help. GeekGirlCon has always been a home for geeks on the margins — a space to celebrate, connect, and belong. That space matters. And it only exists because of you. Since returning to in-person events in 2022, rising costs have made it hard for us to break even, and unless 2025 becomes financially sustainable, we’re at risk of not being able to return in 2026. Together, let’s keep GeekGirlCon going. Ways to give and cost-free ways to help listed below.

Just watching Cal Raleigh win the home run derby with his dad pitching and his little brother catching while I hang out with my mom and little sister just the three of us for the first time in many years and 😭. Sports are great, actually.

@daskew32.bsky.social - I just thought you would appreciate this.
