Lots.
Yesterday, a friend told me that you could buy the World Series on ichunes for $6.99. I did so, and was downloading the games during class, when I got the following email from IT:
"Please cut back your internet usage. A moment ago you were using over 9.6 Mb per sec which is 12% of all the Internet usage at Hastings. This is interferring with your fellow students and faculty and staff."
I'll go ahead and answer the ensuing question: Yes, it was VERY hard to keep from laughing out loud.

Canadian here who loves baseball almost as much as he loves hockey (almost).
I have to say, I never thought I would get to a stadium as nice as Safeco, but I caught a game at the new Twins stadium this summer. It was incredible, truly stunning. So my top 5 list would look like:
1. Twins stadium (Target field I think it's called?) 2. Safeco 3. Fenway 4. Wrigley 5. Busch Stadium
Last: Skydome. What a hole.

That's how it works on the east coast, where baseball is huge. I would be afraid to wear my A's jersey in Yankee Stadium or Fenway. The A's fans are just like east coast fans, there are just so few of them (400, I got the joke). I proudly wear my A's jersey in Seattle, and if anyone tries to talk shit, I immediately counter, and they back down. I'm not worried about getting beat up there. That's probably a good thing in many people mind, but it show a lack of passion Mariners fans are known for. You soccer fans might get this.

I would prefer they move to San Jose actually. I just want them to stay in the Bay Area.
That's cool you are a crowd extra in the movie. I'll look for an old dude with a beard and long hair who looks like a cartoonish Jesus. That movie is going to suck for A's fans, a Hollywood interpretation about the life of Billy Beane, with very little to do with baseball. I bet it will be a love story.

A youtube video I watched! The image of the Kingdome imploding was cool, and Dave Niehaus calling the game with Griffey rounding third to score the winning run in the playoffs still gives me chills. As much as I hate the Mariners, they've always been my local team, so I've listened to a lot of games on the radio, and Niehaus was great, RIP.
Speaking of Griffey, back in the early 90s, he had a consecutive games with a HR streak going that was nearing the all-time record. Most Mariners die-hards recall this (both of them). I was at the game before he tied the record, I believe the 7th game in a row with a HR. His last at bat of the game, he sliced a foul ball toward where I was sitting. It was a line drive, so it managed to make it my section, even though I was under an overhang. After bouncing around, it landed in the empty seat next to me. The guy behind me reached into the seat, but the ball had already fallen through the crack between the seat and back, and rolled up to my left foot. I still have that ball displayed in a case in my bedroom.

It's good to see that you do have some respect for the team, Know. I remember that home run streak well. Jr was one of my idols growing up.

That video was great and Niehaus is irreplaceable. I will NEVER see a see a 4 run jack and not instantly think "Grand Salami".
Know, that's cool about that ball all but falling in your lap. I was seven when the Mariners won the AL West in 95', we went to an early season game that year and sat in the outfield. My mom was walking out one of the tunnels to go the bathroom during batting practice when Griffey hit ball over the fence that hit her right in the ass. I still have that ball displayed in a case in my bedroom.

Fair enough. A good friend of mine down here is a lifelong A's fan and is constantly thinking of new places in Oakland to put a stadium. Breaks my heart.

I already forgot the name of the A's reliever(s) that walked in all those runs today, but I hope they make the team out of spring training and appear in every game against Seattle all season.

I rarely watch spring games, or look at spring stats. I'll polish off my scorebook for opening day, as usual (yes, I'm that guy, I keep score opening day).
Since I know there are a couple Mariner fuckers here, in the OP, I said I was across the street from the Kingdome during the last game, drinking beers at Pyramid. I forgot to mention the best part of the story. When the game ended, I snuck into the Dome and watched the closing ceremonies, which lasted about twenty minutes complete with fireworks. Everyone who meant anything to the Mariners was there for the presentation. Three generations of the Seguis were there, since David was a Mariner then. Papa Diego played for the first Mariners team, and looked way too thin to be juiced, but David's toddler was fucking ripped.
