And I'm grateful to be a part of the best sports blog community in the world. You guys all amaze and challenge me, make me laugh, and just generally impress the heck out of me. It's fun to be a Mariner fan with you all - win or lose, or lose, or lose, hey win! This site is a good example of how we can get out of the political/partisan morass that infects our country. Argue, but be civil, and know we want the country to succeed, and will gladly give credit where credit is due. And enjoy the victories. If Matt hates the idea of an overpay for Allen Craig and we sign him anyway and he becomes MVP, Matt is the first one cheering him on. He's not secretly hoping he fails, or not enjoying the World Series Craig is leading us to. Matt's having a blast and is thrilled to be proven wrong. That's what we need in this country: an SSI ethic. I linked your Thanksgiving post on Facebook, Doc.
