True story

My parents live in Redmond WA during baseball season. Once, when I was visiting, we went over to their neighbors, and I mentioned to the husband of that family that I was looking forward to seeing a game at the Kingdome some time. He told me that the place was basically a shite-hole and not to get overly excited about it (this was during the off-season). The next summer, I finally got to a Kingdome game, and, yeah, he was right. BTW, the neighbor’s name was Dan McGwire, Mark’s younger brother who was a Seahawks QB at the time.

FWIW, I totally disagree with this

I’ve thrown my left SI out many times. MDs say, “Take a bunch of ibuprofen, lie down for a week, and maybe it’ll feel better. Or maybe not.” Chiropractors figure out what’s wrong and actually do something to fix it.

Chiropractic is a nutty disease theory. But as a theory for why your back hurts, I think it has some validity.

For the record

I was comparing LB’s strategy to the malaria therapy thing: some MDs are probably more comfortable telling their patients who are addicted to pills and booze to go to an AA meeting than they are telling their patients with back pain to see a chiropractor.

Me, I’d see the chiropractor. Or, if you’re hesitant, try to find a doc who’s a DO instead of an MD. Many of them still do adjustments.

Night....hopefully you won't be sorry you left the game in our hands!

Oh, that was really fun!

I enjoyed that so much. Almost makes me wish there were Mariners fans here.

OK, maybe it a few seconds my heart will start up again

And I like how Sweeney looked into crowd after that catch and said “No walk-off for you”.

Arizona @ SF (Haren vs Cain)

Giants were up 5-2 with 2 out in the 9th and Wilson on the hill. It’s now 5-4…

Probably not. Easily the most excitable baseball announcer in all of sports.

Oh man, Bill King's call of the Holy Roller is priceless

So into that, the long out was just a GameDay blip.
