Despite hundreds of letters and e-mails from a growing group of us, they continue to refuse to display the American flag OUTSIDE the stadium. They HAVE TO display it inside otherwise the league would boot them.
For a couple of days immediately following 9/11 they had a large flag hanging over the home plate entrance...then it disappeared never to be seen again. It would appear that the Mariners, a professional baseball team in the United States, bowed to the pressure from some of Seattle's finest and made the flag disappear.
Until the Mariner's can display the U.S. flag where it can be seen outside the staduim I will continue to boycott them and hope the other team wins. I guess it's safe to say, I hold the Mariners in slightly higher esteem them say...dope dealers. But just slightly.
Baseball is gay anyway. Why not boycott the sport itself and watch real man sports like football and NASCAR?
Good for you, but what does that have to do with his post?
He was wondering if you were in the woodshed getting whacked by hemp plants, not the bath house getting whacked by ... whatever.
You can't buy a decent hot dog and a beer at Safeco Field; you can get a latte, a rasberry pale ale, a biscotti, tofu...
In Cleveland you can get a real beer and a brat, hot dogs, peanuts...
Barf!
Friggin' metrosexuals. Bet they don't have upright urinals at Safeco either.
If you walk underneath an overpass on the otherside of the railroad tracks, there is a small area where you can actually see into the park and see the American flag.
Good comeback.
Original?

Did not know that. Thank you for the information. How about if you ever in Pittsburgh, I buy you and your wife lunch at Primanti's.
Just don't be surprised when the cole slaw and fries are on top of the sandwich instead of on the side. It is a shock at first, but there is no better sandwich in the world, IMO.
Does that offer apply to me too? Those sandwiches look disgustingly good. I'll take back what I said about Pittsburg beer and buy you the best hot dog in the world if you're ever in dirty Jersey.
All-in-all, there is some decent food in this town. Most of what the locals consider good I tend to disagree with but there are some real jewels.
We often go to a little Italian place near our home; tiny, reasonably prices, great food and one of the best kepts secrets around (Palo's). Alex Rodriguez used to come in with his own family fairly often.
As for sandwiches and fries, not much surprised me any more. Here the big deal is tartar sauce for the fries, peanut butter on a bacon-burger. When we used to go up to Canada it was gravy and cheese curds on the fries and a fried egg on the hamburger.
If you're ever out this way we'll take you to one of the little known places.
Yeah you also, Jeff. Although for it to be a true Primanti's experience you also have to put a good dallop of Heinz ketchup on a Primanti's sandwich, even though every dallop of Heinz ketchup, indirectly goes to ketchup boy's(John Kerry's) Presidential campaign.
We all have to make sacrifices.
No, Texas Weiners. It's a food paradox. You can go to Texas and never hear of Texas Weiners, but come to Northern Jersey and you'll find them all over the place. It's a dog with chili sauce, mustard, onions, and celery. Most well-known hot dog joints around here sell their chili sauce retail it's so good.
Better known as poutine. The best poutine is here in the Ottawa-Hull area, especially smoked meat poutine.
But nobody has come up with a meal quite like the Halifax donair. If it's got anything other than ground beef in the meat, tomatoes and onions, and sweet sauce, it ain't a donair. It just ain't.
Uhhh...can you get a Chicago Dog there?
