I remember a few things about Yasser Seirawan from 30+ years ago.  As a HS chess player at Garfield HS, he made his otherwise ordinary teammates better.  This sounds a bit like Stars and Scrubs, and so it was.  I see that with Jack in how he has rebuilt the M's minor league system.  A bunch of prospects from the old Bavasi regime have been turned over, and we have seen a number of minor league team successes evidenced last year.  The jury is still out on Wedgie, but I am not seeing the clubhouse disaster that proved to be Wak's demise here.  However, watch for spontaneous combustion if the current losing streak continues much longer.
Second, I recall watching Seirawan playing simultaneous boards at The Last Exit on Brooklyn, all while I was enjoying my hot apple pie a la mode and watching him destroy all of his opponents.  Unfortunately, this reminds me also of the M's recent play, making any opposing pitcher look like Cy Young.
Doc,  by the way, SSI seems to have completely forgotten me regarding my login.
