Sorry, I can't do the Mariners.

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?

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.
