It's been a crabby Friday to say the least. I know the recent spate of news has been disappointing, but despair not, Mariner fans for there remains plenty of other things that should keep you in good spirits. Things like:
and much more!
Seriously, let's try not to get too down on things.

Ichiro's here for three more seasons?
I thought we only had him locked up for two more.
BrianL - March 26, 2010
Yep
2010, 2011, 2012.
ThundaPC - March 26, 2010
Signed through 2012
5 year extension signed July ’07
Matthew - March 26, 2010
For some reason I thought that extension included the remainder of the 07 season.
This revelation has made my week.
BrianL - March 26, 2010
See?
Cheer!
Matthew - March 26, 2010
Absolutely!
BrianL - March 26, 2010
I'm excited for the point in time when he's old and wrinkled like Yoda but still whooping asses.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
Three
Cot’s Contracts
Janic - March 26, 2010
Erik Bedard's didn't have that bullpen session that you linked to.
Janic - March 26, 2010
Do you ever get tired of doing this?
Matthew - March 26, 2010
Not a setback!
lemonverbena - March 26, 2010
I can see how the nit picking would be obnoxious. I'm sorry and will try to avoid doing so in the future.
Janic - March 26, 2010
You are 100% absolutely correct
Jeff Sullivan - March 26, 2010
I don't know, I think I need to see you rework the WAR numbers, before get I too look on the bright side about all this.
InSpokane - March 26, 2010
Here's some numbers for you then:
3, 6, 2, 12, 32, 99, 1,453,111, -8, 0.3
Matthew - March 26, 2010
1,453! Ho lee FUCK what a team.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
777

JACKPOT
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 26, 2010
Vincent Padilla is not our opening day starter.
Manzanillos Cup - March 26, 2010
That's true for 29 other teams as well.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
Did the MLB expand again?
blueside714 - March 26, 2010
Yes, in 1998.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
You must have hit the wrong button on the Hot Tub Time Machine.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
Oh is it now?
Link
Goose - March 26, 2010
Believe it was a typo joke
Jeff Sullivan - March 26, 2010
Look whose hemispheres are communicating now, Bender
Jeff Sullivan - March 26, 2010
That'll teach 'em.
abender20 - March 26, 2010
Vincent? Vicente.
Am I racial if I inadvertently Americanize Latin names?
Manzanillos Cup - March 26, 2010
No, you're lingual
wandergeist - March 27, 2010
Ask Bobby Clemente about that one.
Two Rs and Two Ls - March 27, 2010
I think you're not supposed to link to your own blog, so please delete this post if I'm violating site rules.
But if it’s okay to do so…I’m staying positive!
.Taylor - March 26, 2010
Thanks for the sunshine, sunshine.
Dewey N - March 26, 2010
The only real downer about today is that I spent all my beer money at the Sounders game yesterday.
Sec 108 - March 26, 2010
That's a positive!
Goals leading to beers!
lemonverbena - March 26, 2010
You need to learn to put more room in your budget for beer.
Thingray - March 26, 2010
It is my fault for the budget being lean so I should pay the price.
Sec 108 - March 27, 2010
Amen.
There are so many reasons to be pumped for 4/12

AND GRIFFDAWG JUST HIT A WALK-OFF GRAND SALAMI
Seriously, I know it doesn’t matter, but just hearing the call from Dave made me laugh. Perfect for a lame Friday afternoon.
appleshampoo - March 26, 2010
Grrr, I turned off the broadcast the inning before! I hope the call/video gets put up somewhere!
EnglishMariner - March 26, 2010
Seriously, need to see this ASAP!
sanford_and_son - March 26, 2010
Was in the car and listened to it live.
It doesn’t matter to us here, but I am sure the people at the park today experienced the best Spring training game of their lives. I was more happy for them than the team.
Wilder. - March 26, 2010
I much rather be in a situation where bad luck ruins our season then mind numbing incompetence
Robert - March 26, 2010
This is my favorite silver lining observation of all time, completely serious.
Kermit. - March 26, 2010
Agreed.
Bad luck just creates remorse for “what could have been”. Mind numbing incompetence creates rage.
JeffJ254 - March 26, 2010
Gotta second this.
ThundaPC - March 26, 2010
Very well said sir.
Sec 108 - March 27, 2010
There is no shame in bad luck
There is great shame in predictable stupidity.
wandergeist - March 27, 2010
Piniella announced today that Silva earned a spot in their rotation
Will the Chicago fans be as kind to him when he inevitably blows up as they were to Milton?
Scrupio - March 26, 2010
Apparently his sinker is sinking again
Wait, isn’t that a square on ST Media Bingo?
appleshampoo - March 26, 2010
Oh and they mention something about a shoulder injury and how he's fully recovered.
What?
appleshampoo - March 26, 2010
I needed that
Like the Mariners need a real DH.
bhsmarine - March 26, 2010
Speaking of Cheerful
Trent from cnati.com (who was on with Baker on GBL earlier) posted footage of Griffey’s walk-off bomb. The fans went bananas.
ThundaPC - March 26, 2010
Anyone have a link to the radio broadcast of Jr's walkoff? Thanks.
I know it’s spring training, I know it doesn’t count, but dammit – I love baseball. And those happy feelings when I saw the posted video of Jr were great. I’d love to hear the call out of KIRO.

Unfortunately, I just read Jeff's post
…and now i want to kill myself.
Lucas Cervi - March 29, 2010
But they swept the Angels!
Twice!
