Hey bammer, I just saw that Mina Kimes is throwing out a first pitch this weekend. This is an example of a Mariners-related gif I would gladly watch multiple times.

Weird, but that's bammer for ya. She's so emotionally invested in the Seahawks, too.

I'm pretty sure I was the first one to ever mention Mina Kimes on RM. You are all welcome.

Her need for the world to know that she loves Wowee Zowee in the background of her at home ESPN studio is one of her most endearing qualities.

Great thread. Let's plan to lock it up when the M's make the playoffs.

If the M's don't make the postseason this year, their playoff drought can drink.

The last time the M's made the playoffs was Ichiro's rookie season. Do we think they will make the playoffs before Ichiro gets into the HOF?

For a few years, it's been possible to say, "The Mariners have the longest playoff drought in all major professional U.S. sports--every team in the 4 major sports (yes, even the Cleveland Browns) have appeared in the playoffs since the M's last did." This isn't actually true anymore, as we can start a new clock: the Seattle Kraken are the only other team not to make the playoffs since 2001.

He’s eligible in 2025. he’s a guaranteed first ballot, right? So i say no they won’t
