Russell Wilson throwing out first pitch.........

For the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

I wonder how it would go if he had been drafted by the SF Giants. Would they cheer for him?

haha nice! incredibly smart PR move nabbing him in the Rule 5

Well, he is technically still part of that organization.

I'm a Giants fan, so I definitely would.

Seahawks/SF Giants is a weird combination, I know.

After what happened to the coach on the Angels I'm nervous as hell! Lol! I want the FO to wrap him in bubble wrap plug a computer into his USB port ( so he can review info) put him on a shelf and open him back up when it's time to play.

We'll put his wife in cryogenic stasis so she won't miss him. I'm not completely inhuman.

He's a member of the Rangers organization and they love football in Texas, so it makes sense.

Baylor has/had a disease that attacked his bone marrow. It was not a normal situation.

I heard the mariners are doing a Seahawks championship celebration opening night Tuesday I think, I wonder of he is allowed to be part of that being a a member of the Texas ranger organization?

Last night he was with Mark Cuban at the Mavs - GS game.

I thin Russ should pitch the first three innings...

I love how the Mariners support the Seahawks, but don't support the possibility of the Sonics/NHL.

The Mariners are only "supporting the Hawks" to put butts in their seats at Safeco, period. They are jumping on what's HOT. Remember a few years back they had a "Sonics night" with a lot of the Sonics greats showing up? Guess who is trying to C-block the Sonics/NHL arena? Yep, you guessed it, Howard Lincoln and the Seattle Mariners.

yup. Which is why I can't support the M's right now. Maybe I'll get over it when the Sonics come back or he leaves the FO...whichever comes first or hopefully both

This is a good thing. Think about it. Forget about the Mariners angle, they will be what they will be regardless of RW.

But the more Wilson does in Texas and Wisconsin and elsewhere the more people in Texas and elsewhere become Seahawk fans, the more Seattle will have a bigger following in enemy parks which can only benefit the Hawks on the road.

RW is a Seahawk player. It has nothing to do with the Mariners. BTW I love the Mariners and don't have any problem that he doing these things. He is not slighting Seattle in any way.

Just a heads up. This game is on ESPN2 at 5:00 PT. I am not sure if they will show the first pitch.

first pitch on instagram:

I wouldn't expect less so glad to see that he threw a "real pitch" and not a lob

Reminded me of House of Cards 2 season

This is all a part of the Mariners' master plan. They have sent Russell to infiltrate the Rangers dugout and then sabotage them from within.

How many wins for the mariners this year? 75?
