I'm a 20 year old UW student and a fan of the Mariners. I'm recently married!!

I love Mariners night games after 90 degree days. I don't like sitting down, I'd rather walk the concourse the whole game. I like bringing my own food to games because I'm a poor college student, and then buying 2/$5 pieces of street meat.

I read USSM/LL/Fangraphs every day.

I wear an Adam Jones Orioles Alternate Jersey (black) and a Mariners cap to games, say "Hey, I'm from lookout landing!" if you see me.

Don't be worried about it too much yet, I'd wait until we have the first Arizona State game under our belt to start really caring, but there's some interesting stuff here.
1. Pondexter and Thomas are 410th and 411th in the country in % of minutes played, both with 76.3%. They're also right next to each other in % Possessions at 175 and 176 with 27.2% each. If that isn't a dual threat, I don't know what is.
2. Gant, Suggs, and Turner are our least impactful players thus far, I can believe that.
3. Overton assists a lot more than I thought, I guess he deserves the minutes he's getting.
4. Thomas and Pondexter know how to draw fouls, both cracking the top 50 in FD/40.
5. Breshers is 2 months of hard training away from being a huge impact player, his rate stats are solid all around.

This is what happens when you don't move Halladay when his value is at his highest... I'd rather have Ricciardi than a lot of current GMs, but tough luck for him. He should be able to find another job, though.

Request: Yu Darvish

Interesting pitcher, some think he would immidiately step into an "ace" role in the MLB. He's got a great body type for pitching but his style is a little bit different than what we're used to staying in the States. We should get some good video of him from the WBC, too. There's a good chance he jumps the ocean at some point and whatever team signs him will definitely pay a premium, so it would be nice to see an evaluation of his mechanics.

Thanks.
