I thought of you today, Erika, because I ate American #Style; two potatoes covered with chili, then cheese, then sour cream. It wasn't quite #Texas Chili Tots from the Rib Eye, but it was close. #Singles #Villon #newyork-single.com #Chat:12-5-14_4:18pm

But of course, dear child. We warned you about the ListVerse and SEO shtick, and you backed away and did exactly as Dr. D commanded. Then Igor delivered the electro punishment with an evil leer. Such is life in Young Frankenstein's la-BOR-a-tor-y.

1 The M's are talking to the Rockies about OF's. Fortunately, one of baseball's best writers is a Mariner fan who lives in Colorado. He says,

Gordon Gross: I'm curious about who we're looking to get from the Rockies for the OF, though. Only Cargo is worth a big trade like Walker, and that depends on how you feel about Cargo's effort and ability outside of Coors - and whether he can stay healthy. I happen to think Cargo is a good player, not a great one - more Detroit's Carlos Guillen than an MVP candidate. But if a good hitter is all we need to make it work... we could do way worse.
We'd still need another arm in that case, though - maybe Chris Young does come back at that point after all, to do a relay with Elias as we get into August and September. - See more at: http://seattlesportsinsider.com/article/run-offense#sthash.n8FThy9g.dpuf

So we infer that Carlos Gonzalez could be had in a Taijuan deal, or that it's possible enough that we can include it with the Kemp and Upton rumors.
How good is CarGo? I'm not going to try to compete with G-Money on Rockies players; that would be like Bill James as a sabe trying to tell us about Dustin Ackley. We'll just note that he's 28-29 now and his PX (underlying power) is going up with a bullet.
BOTTOM LINE:
The hilarious, profane, and often deeply upsetting game Cards Against Humanity pulled a bit of a Black Friday prank. They reformatted their storefront to offer "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy some new bull***t."
As promised, people who ordered said cow poop received a box of actual cow poop in the mail. To quote Arrested Development, "I don't know what I expected."

Good pitching has sprouted up like mushrooms from the ground for Seattle for some time now, but that may be over. It seems like every good starting pitcher or reliever in the Mariner's system is already in the majors, except Erasmo Ramirez and Danny Hultzen.
I think that the top three other starting pitchers in the high minors are Tyler Olson, Jordan Pries and James Gilheeny, and they all have mountains to overcome. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't time to hand the ball to any of those guys.
The idea of trading any pitching hurts mightily. Especially 'Kuma.
"You will build a house but not live in it, you will plant a vineyard, but not even begin to enjoy its fruit" Deuteronomy 28:30. Last I checked, this was a curse to be avoided. Here, the Mariners have built a mighty house of piching, and now it is time to live in it.
