Happy for everyone in Mariners Nation, but none moreso than the long suffering diehards who have experienced so much πŸ’” through the years.

Thanks for welcoming this Texas transplant with open arms.

Love y'all.

This Fox crew is about 4 steps below terrible. This is Tim Brando on a Texas game type stuff.

Heading to the doctor shortly in an attempt to rid myself of a 2 week long sinus infection that has gotten progressively worse

Can't sleep. Itchy eyes. Sore throat. Stuffy and runny nose. Pain below eyes.

Only allergy sufferers know this kind of misery.

Texas is pollen Hell.

OK. I'm officially nervous. Letting Ferguson pitch to that last hitter should be a criminal offense.

Closing on our summer home in Port Angeles Thursday. Flying up Oct. 16 to get it furnished with the necessities.

No place on Earth I love like the PNW.

Plan is to spend each May through mid October along with the first week of April there.

Blessed and grateful.

Watching the Mariners reminds me of a story several years ago about a friend who used to go get beer before every Astros game during their lean years .

Asked him why one day and he gave the perfect answer.

They're more enjoyable to watch when you're drunk.πŸ˜‚

Looks like a long night/morning of sad songs.

When I was younger, always knew there was next year.

Now that I'm aware of my own mortality and realize next years may not come, the losses and lost seasons sting more.

Crappy ending to a crappy sports day.

Hard being a fan of my teams.

Looks like another sleepless night. Death would have to feel better

Most anticipated sports day of 2025 at the extremely modest Thrasher estate.

Horns at 2:30
Mariners at 7:30

I have straight friends, gay friends, skinny friends, fat friends, fit friends, black friends, white friends, Hispanic friends, Asian friends and Indian friends.

The common criteria among all is they're good humans.

Never understood why it has to be so hard to get along.

Be careful who you place on a pedestal. They sometimes willingly jump off and take you down with them.

It's a lesson I'm still learning at my AARP status.

Small towns are funny.

Regardless of age and time spent away, you're always the same person you were at 17 in the eyes of locals.

Always reminded of such on my infrequent trips back where I spent the majority of my childhood.

Tarik Skubal is filthy. He's the reason as a Mariners fan I'm for Cleveland.

Don't want to see him in Game 2 or 3.

Greg Abbott is a scum.of the earth individual who has successfully manipulated the minds of a large majority of Christians in to believing his work is in the name of Jesus.

You can substitute the names of Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton with the same accurate description.

Sometimes my daughters send texts or call with stuff that paralyzes me.

Nothing more so than this with grandson Evan in my baby rocking chair.

My mom is no doubt looking down from heaven with tears of joy.

I've seen a lot of bad college 🏈 calls, but it's hard to top that phantom roughing the passer on the Huskies.

It's magnified by leading to a Buckeye TD.

Welcome the newest Dallas Cowboys fan to the family.

Carson Blake Davidson was born a few minutes ago at a healthy 8 lbs. and 21 inches. Mom and baby are doing well.

Linda and I are up here watching his big brother until they come home Saturday.

Those who have never lived in the PNW and been to T-Mobile during a pennant race have no idea how magical it can be.

Won't find a more loyal, hearty, victory starved fan base.
