RE: Playing the Seattle Mariners
Gentlemen,
It has come to my attention that the (barely) Major League team known as the Seattle Mariners have the worst record in the major leagues. While intellectually I understand that even the worst team will win 50-60 games every season, I feel that it is not unfair of me to request, as a fan who invests copious amounts of time, money, and interest into your team, that you occasionally attempt to not completely friggin' suck. I have never played a game of professional baseball in my life, however I truly believe that I could throw a baseball from the pitchers' mound to any of the four bases with little to no trouble. I beg you for the sake of decency to please heed my advice and stop giving up runs to a team whose first baseman is batting .200. Additionally, I assume the reason Mike Timlin has not been released into the bullpen, allowed to run in circles for several minutes, and then shot is that no one on the Red Sox staff owns a proper weapon. If this is the case, I offer the use of my own firearm, provided I am allowed to supervise the action. Thank you for your time.
Also, please pass on my regards, in the form of sharp rocks delivered at high velocity, to Julio Lugo. When he receives my message, please return a message informing me of the attractiveness level of his wife/girlfriend.
Yours,
~Derek~
