My Mariners Annual arrived today, which reminded me to remind you to buy it. But it online here, or, if you prefer, wait a few weeks and buy it in stores as early as March 2nd. Or buy it online and in stores to see which is better. I bet they're different!

Carlos Silva?
I ordered it back when you guys first posted the link and forgot all about it. Now I’m eagerly anticipating it.
OceanBird - February 12, 2010
Is it everything you dreamed and more?
Dewey N - February 12, 2010
I'm hoping mine arrives tomorrow!
But that would require that the mail people in my building not be dumb, which is not something I would bet on.
You’d think they’d have an easier time with it considering my box has my name on it and there are only ~30 people with my last name in this country, but no…
JY - February 12, 2010
I got mine today!
You might even say I’m reading it right now.
JY - February 15, 2010
How did you get yours so soon?
Dewey N - February 15, 2010
I wrote the top ten prospects piece?
It’s hard for me to tell if you’re joking or not, but authors get advanced copies, as Dave explains below.
JY - February 15, 2010
For a short moment I forgot you were the same person as the Jay Yencich that authored the top ten prospects piece
Sorry!
Dewey N - February 15, 2010
I'm just now seeing the "Steve Cee" crack in the review section.
I chuckled.
ThundaPC - February 12, 2010
I bet there's no difference between getting the annual through the mail and buying at the store, Jeff.
This appears to be a ploy to make people buy two copies! Watch out, everyone.
katal - February 12, 2010
Thanks to living together the three of us only need to buy 1 of them!
Robert - February 12, 2010
rawr?
msb - February 12, 2010
Just bought mine
I’ll have to check out the story copy too to see if there’s any updates.
John Morgan - February 12, 2010
I was going to buy it but your computer has Carlos Silva on it.
Robert - February 12, 2010
Yay. I wasn't expecting mine until the end of next week. Oh wait, do the authors get advance copies?
wazzu93 - February 12, 2010
Yes
Jeff got a copy shipped directly from the printer, seeing as how he wrote two pieces and edited a bunch more. Everyone else will have to wait until Maple Street starts shipping them on Wednesday, so don’t expect your copy in less than a week.
davidcameron - February 12, 2010
The cover is a little more baseball specific than the cubs version
Looks like they are going for a different demographic
coasty141 - February 12, 2010
Such shameful pandering.
I’ll try both online and at the store. I’ll let you know which is better.
TrustBaseball - February 12, 2010
Ok ok I bought one. Jesus.
Poochie - February 12, 2010
Now that you have one
Don’t you want another?
Dewey N - February 12, 2010
I don't have it yet
They don’t ship til Wednesday. Can’t you read?
Poochie - February 12, 2010
Now that you've bought one
Don’t you want another?
Dewey N - February 13, 2010
No
Poochie - February 13, 2010
What is the "Alone No More" supposed to mean?
“Ichiro and friends continue their sprint toward the AL West title”
Janic - February 12, 2010
Ichiro and Friends...
This needs to be turned into a cartoon ASAP.
OceanBird - February 12, 2010
Ichiro has friends?...
Aside from his dog?
JY - February 13, 2010
I can't wait until his evil twin brother makes an appearance.
CapSea - February 15, 2010
He is no longer on a team full of retards.
hcoguy - February 13, 2010
I got goosebumps paging through mine today.
This is such an amazing project.
JonBBT - February 12, 2010
Does anyone know
If Barnes and Noble will be one of the stores carrying this amazing piece once it hits stores??
wyte_lightning - February 13, 2010
Apparently my ability to type disappears this late at night
wyte_lightning - February 13, 2010
It will be carried pretty much anywhere magazines are sold in Washington.
davidcameron - February 13, 2010
If these are published in MA,
Then how are you all receiving them on the west coast and I haven’t gotten mine in the midwest? I got two, one for me and one I was hoping to give out for Valentine’s Day.
hcoguy - February 13, 2010
Read up. Authors get advanced copies, and ours ship Feb. 17th.
wazzu93 - February 13, 2010
Duh, that makes sense.
hcoguy - February 13, 2010
And here I thought you guys had Geoff Baker pasting these together
Isn’t that why he was gone for a month?
OceanBird - February 13, 2010
I was unhappy with Felix not making the cover but it could be worse.

Robert - February 13, 2010
That is amazing.
Is that what coasty’s comment was referring to? Ha!
JonBBT - February 14, 2010
That link is troubling.
I wrote that before I clicked it. I thought that the link just got cut off. Nope. That actually happened.
thehemogoblin - February 14, 2010
Question: does the Maple Street Press control the right to design the cover?
It’s not bad, I guess, but definitely not what I was expecting design-wise. Then again, I guess you don’t want it to look like the London Review of Books if it’s going to be on newsstands everywhere. In any case, I’m surprised that the authors’ names – and something like “the leading voices of Seattle Baseball come together for…” – aren’t on the front of the cover.
Decatur - February 14, 2010
I don't like how Ichiro's bat makes it look like "Mariners Anal".
Still bought a copy though.
coffee - February 15, 2010
I want to get mine autographed by the authors
seattlebruin - February 15, 2010
I was thinking of asking someone who's going to spring training if I could send them my copy, get a few autographs and then send it back
but I don’t know how feasible/reasonable that is.
Eyeball Kid - February 15, 2010
All of them? That would be really hard
There’s a decent group of them located in Seattle, but I’m in North Carolina, Yencich and Gennaro are in New York, Keri is in New Hampshire, Sullivan is in Portland, Dave Allen is in Michigan…
I don’t know that you’ll ever get even a majority of the authors of this thing in the same room together.

Naked World Series victory dance party?
