So after yesterday’s win and Langerhans acquisition, Jeff Sullivan posted this on Lookout Landing. I didn’t think anything of it at first. I haven’t been wearing my jersey this year, as I’ve been nursing my snit over the JJ trade. I figured I’d leave it off all this year, in a sort of I’m-the-only-one-that-knows-I’m-protesting protest, then wear it next year to whatever games I can afford to go to (I may have to give up the season tickets in 2010 because of school).
But that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, does it? I mean, I’m the only one that cares, and the more I think about it, the more I don’t think I care that much, not anymore. A suitable replacement has been found for my weirdo closer fetish, and this team has not only players that care about succeeding, but a front office that takes steps that indicate that it does, too. Speaking of which, I’ll see if I can find it and replicate it here, but I (and most likely all the other season ticket holders) recently received another letter in the mail from Zduriencik and Co. It is blatantly obvious to me that our front office cares about the team and the fans – I can count the number of letters I got from the Mariners last year on 0 fingers, and this year, I’ve received two already. The current Mariners organization is obviously into winning – maybe not winning the World Series, but at the very least being a better team than they were in 2008. And I don’t know about everyone else, but that means something to me. Just wish I’d fully realized it a little sooner.
I am currently sitting at my desk at work, chilly from the central air, but wrapped in my Putz #20 jersey and sweatshirt underneath, and I’m feeling pretty awesome about it. Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff!
