6/17 Tuesday

This is my first post of many. This blog will be a cross between a political blog and a sports blog. The 1st thing on the Berger House menu is the US Open. The truth is no one cares. It is a bunch of guys walking around a smacking a ball for a few hours. Whoopie! Soccer (which should be Illegal in the US) is more important. Between The NBA Finals and the Open you would assume that nothing else is going on.

But, second on the menu, there is a ton of other more important stuff going on. The M's fired Big Bill yesterday. A good move. I believe that the next few weeks are important to the Mariners. The line up by position should be this:

C - Clement
1B - Kenji
2B - Lopez
3B - Beltre
SS - Yuni (but IDK if he's the long term solution)
RF - Griffey Jr.
CF - Reed
LF - Willie the B
DH - Raul

Pitching is another story

1- The King
2-Silva
3-The Aussy
4. Morrow
5. whom ever we can fracking get!!!

The people I have left off here should all either be traded or DFA.

The 3rd thing is the Sonics moving. I care about the Sonics leaving Seattle but it is gonna happen no sense in crying about it. My solution is tell the NBA Sonics bye bye and say Hello to the NHL Sonics and to a new stadium on the Eastside. This would create more buzz than a fracking MLS team and it might generate the next Seattle championship.

The 4th thing is a bit more National in scope. That is the presidential election. I am a McCain supporter, a McCainiac if you will. My support is not whole hardy. Mac needs to do three things tomorow in order to secure the Presidency.

1. Talk about taxes like you've got a pair. Low Taxes = stronger economy

2. start saying "drill here, drill now!" we can live off our own oil, it's time we do it!

3. pick a young VP with a better resume than most presidents! Booby Jindal is the man who should and will be the next VP!

I love politics and the GOP but we have lost our way! the GOP needs to return to the Libertarian ideals it was founded on. I am not a Ron Paul guy by any means but i believe in limited government and a strong defense (without legalizing pot Dr. Paul). The big government trend needs to be reversed.

The Fifth and final thing is the begining of my campaign to get Ichiro Suzuki traded. so anyone who agrees with me should send an email to the Mariners organization simply saying this:

To Whom it May Concern,

I as a long time fan of the Seattle Mariners respectfully demand the you trade Ichiro Suzuki. He is worth more traded than he is as a member of this team.

sincerly,

(Insert Name)


If you are a true fan you have no choice to be a part of this campaign. The Emails are phase 1 of 5 to get 51 traded. Phase 2 is boycott all Ichiro merchandise. Phase 3 is show up to Safeco on 7/19 with a bag on your head and signs that say "Trade Ichiro Now!!!" Phase 4 is boycott all home games post-deadline. Phase 5 is email the newspapers and lobby them to write about Ichiro's attitude and trade value. If every hardcore M's fan does this we might see some action.

More to come today!
