I got no problem admitting it. At that first game back, when the crowd yells "SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-PERSONICS", I'm going to cry like a little baby.

I'm getting chills just thinking about it.

I actually teared up today as I read the news in the paper. It's really amazing the power these things have over you.

I was in Iraq when the Supes were stolen, that was one of the hardest things to come home and realize you don't have your favorite sports team anymore

Tore me up

Judging from almost every post I've ever seen from you Dom, I think we need to change your moniker from Capt'n Dom to Capt'n BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHZZZZ-kill! :mrgreen:

As if we needed any more confirmation that Chris Hansen is the coolest dude ever. From his letter today thanking the fans for their support:

And on that note, I would personally like to buy you all a beer at FX McRory's this Thursday from 5-7. First beer for everyone is on me.

If anything, it should be US buying him a beer!

This guy is already my favorite owner in this city, and he doesn't even own a team yet.

What does that have to do with my emotions regarding this event? I didn't think stating that I was emotional when reading the news was a buzzkill at all.

He's a Sonics super fan, something about him makes it seem like he doesn't see himself different from anyone of us and that's hella cool.

And the Mariners just continue to disappoint and piss people off:

Aaron Levine‏@AaronQ13Fox

Letter from SODO maritime/business groups including #Mariners: "We believe the MOU’s pre-selection (of SODO arena site) will prejudice...

Aaron Levine‏@AaronQ13Fox

...the thoroughness and credibility of the EIS’ alternative site location, will taint its adequacy... ...

Aaron Levine‏@AaronQ13Fox

and constitutes an impermissible “action” taken without SEPA review."

Aaron Levine‏@AaronQ13Fox

#Mariners say they signed on as members of the broader coalition, and that Dave Gering and Jordan Royer have taken lead on the issue.


I was all set to say whatever to these clowns and root for the players, but the front office just continues to make that impossible

Someone should fly over Safeco and drop a plane cargo hold worth of a buinch of those small spongey basketballs during a game.

That is the final straw for me. The mariners, I am thru with them.

They are typical Seattle. They epitimize all that is bad about this city. A typical can't do attitude that permeates government and a resistance to change that flows through its citizens. Satisfied with the status quo and fearful of an uncertain future.

Seattle Mariners... You are all that I hate about the city I love so much.

Mariners could go to the world series and I won't care, count me out as a supporter, I feel bad for the players that have to play within that crap organization, hope one day they find their ways out of it.

Well I'm glad Hansen is doing what he is doing, but the gloating the City is doing makes me sick, getting Hansen to fork over another 47 million and pay for partial renovation of the Key in addition to what he will do with it as a temperary home for the Sonics and the 40 million for traffic and to read an artical by the port saying we appreciate it but we can't see 40 million doing anything for improvements.

I don't see anyone else contributing anything, they SAY the port and others are suppose to put money into this fund, I guess we will see.

The Mariners backstabbing the hand that feeds them is gonna comeback and haunt them, not all Baseball fans are Basketball fans, nor are they all Hockey fans, but I would wager a larger percentage are fans of either sport or both. The Mariners will again at some point ask for money from all of us and the City for renovations :) How do you think they will respond to saying well Hansen ponied up 65 percent or more plus we want a fund set aside for area improvement.

Can we please get a new local ownership for the Mariners too? I mean this is unreal for them to do this.
