Go Mariners!
Canada: Home of the most manly of all male sports
And then you watch rounders ?:rofl:
The french should have had a chance with the lot of you.
Sorry
Don't want to interfere
Was a shock to me
They’re playing an American sport, with the roster made up of mostly American players.Quote:

At one time hockey was quite manly.Quote:

Yes, comebacks are not a strength of mine.
Apologies.

Mariners definitely looking solid against the Injuns right now and this weekend. I think they’ll finish at least .500 this year. Heck play .500 ball the rest of the year and have just one 8-10 game winning streak could see 88-90 wins maybe.Quote:

They are, and it is all due to the youngsters. They have called up prized prospect Jarred Kelenic and his first home run was a monster!Quote:

A must-watch for all Mariners fans. The Dorktown series is a real masterpiece.
^ ... saw that and it was an awesome shot. Just need the pitching to improve a little. Kikuchi needs to step it up.
Ahh, the positive thinking Mariners fans. Is this the year they finally win the Pennant and make It to the World Series?
That Dorktown series I posted really does a great job documenting our plight and suffering. You should check it out.Quote:

The rest of the team is stuck playing for the Mariners for 3-4 years unless traded. These guys gotta come to play if they ever wanna “get paid”.

Cuban baseball star César Prieto defects to U.S.
Cuban baseball player César Prieto, a highly touted 22-year-old infielder, ditched the Cuban national team Wednesday and defected to the United States.
Prieto and his then-teammates arrived in Florida on Wednesday to compete in an Olympic qualifying tournament.
Hours after the team’s arrival, the Cuban Baseball Federation released a statement confirming Prieto’s departure. The player hopped in a car outside the team hotel almost immediately after their bus arrived, according to baseball journalist Francys Romero.
Because of the frosty diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba, the easiest way for Cuban players to enter Major League Baseball is by sneaking away from their home country. Jose Abreu, the 2020 American League MVP, defected in 2013.
In his most recent season in the Cuban league, Prieto hit .403 with seven home runs in 74 games.
The Cuban national team is in Florida to play an Olympic qualifying tournament against the U.S., Canada, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Colombia. Only one team will qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. Cuba is one of the favorites.: Cuban baseball star Cesar Prieto defects to U.S. ｜ New York Daily News
