P.S.
It seems my home town team the Seattle Mariners are really trying to have a championship team right here real soon. By the way, we are one of only three teams that have not been to the World Series.
With the signing of Chone Figgins and Cliff Lee with the Mariners it looks like the Mariners management are fed up with being at the bottom every year. Just like the fans.
Figgins is quick athletic player who will add more speed to the Mariner lineup and Lee is one the top pitchers in baseball.
Also as a African American, I am glad the Mariners are starting to bring in African Americans on the Mariners like Bill Hall, bringing back Griffey Jr, Figgins etc. Hopefully it will bring more African Americans fans to Safeco Field to watch the games. And also get more young kids interested in baseball again.
Because it seems young inner city kids turn to basketball and football after little league. They say baseball is boring. Which truth be told, it can be with pitchers taking up to fourty seconds to pitch and with the batters stepping away from the plate to fix there gloves after every pitch (ie Derek Jeter and A-Rod and others). Some games last for four hours for a nine inning game.
I think MLB needs to have a rule where ptichers have to pitch in 20 sec. This will make the game go quicker. And hopefully young inner city youth will get interested in baseball again.
Anyway shout out to the Mariners for the moves they have made so far in the off season.
