Art Thiel is a Mariners Marketing puppet.
Mariners Marketing in a nutshell:
"Remember 20 years ago when the Mariners won the chance to go to the ALCS and lose in 6? Wasn't that great?! You should buy tickets to the blandest experience in baseball."
"Remember that year almost a decade and a half ago the Mariners won 116 games with a juiced up Brett Boone and still didn't make the World Series? Well this franchise has nothing else to hang it's hat on so buy tickets!"
"Hispanics say the funniest things in a commercial. Sodo Mojo! Buy Tickets ... please!"
This year it will be: "Hey, Randy Johnson is in the Hall of Fame and being inducted as a Diamondback! Remember he pitched like a lot for us before tanking all of his starts to force a trade in 1998! Sodo Mojo!"
Some friends scored a suite to one of last seasons games, hallway for the suites was like some weird shrine to the 95 and 2001 seasons. Nothing else.

As far as singular Seattle sports moments go, here's my list.
1. Matt Hasselbeck being run over by a speeding truck while soliciting on Aurora.
2. Buddy Waldron blowing off Payam Saadat's hand in the middle of blowing himself up in a truck.
3. Steve Largent coming out as gay after the '87 season.
4. Keith Gilbertson's halftime radio interviews being cancelled after he kept going off on Bill Swarz.
5. Tom Paciorek's 2nd place AL batting title finish in 1981.
6. Lauren Jackson explaining that her nude photos were the product of her Australian mindset and only designed to be artistic.
7. The Shaq Thompson commitment.
8. Curt Warner purchasing a Chevy dealership.
9. Jim Lambright being caught with his pants around his ankles doing lines off a Coug mirror in the bathroom of Poulsbo RV.
10. Xavier McDaniel choking Wes Matthews.

I don't understand why this bored hates baseball
I don't understand why this bored hates baseball. You go to a game with a cute girl, sit there and talk about nothing, spit some seeds, drink some beers, maybe see some fireworks, and (if you're not a complete lame) hit a homer with said chick after it's done.

All of that is cooler without the baseball.
