MORE SPEEEEEEEEEEZWAX
Infielder signs to play third for Mariners
Scott Spiezio is bringing his switch-hitting bat to the Seattle Mariners. He'll make no promises, though, about possible appearances by his heavy metal band. "I don't know if we can play that city," Spiezio said Wednesday after agreeing to a $9.15 million, three-year contract. "There are too many good bands. We don't want to destroy a good thing."
I'm in total agreeance here.
Don't destroy a GREAT thing. Seattle has a great music tradition, and I would hate for Sandfrog to screw that up. Let me count the reasons why Seattle has such a great music tradition:
Alice In Chains
Soundgarden
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Jimi Hendrix
Queensryche
Heart
Sandfrog would belong in the "crap" category, which includes MxPx, Harvey Danger, Vendetta Red, Kenny G, and Boy Meets Girl. Yes, the same group that did the late 80s ARC track "Waiting For A Star To Fall" (ARC=Adult Radio Crap)
Anyways, back to baseball, but if you want more of musical opinions, check out Music and Bremertonians, our musical sister to Sports and Bremertonians. We'll have some more stuff there in the coming weeks, I can promise that much.
Yeah, back to baseball...
2004 $2.5 million (200K signing bonus)
2005 $3.1 million
2006 $3.1 million
(2007 $3.25 million option with a $250,000 buyout)
Scott Spiezio is a nice player. He's better than Jeff Cirillo at this point. That being said, he is not worth $9.15 million. But since the Mariners are afraid of bringing Richie Sexson home after the 2004 season, they will have their 1st baseman in place when John Olerud retires. Rejoice Boston and New York fans, while you guys are getting players like Gary Sheffield and Curt Schilling, we're getting Scott Spiezio and Quinton McCracken! Like the slogan says...
"KILL" BILL: This ain't a movie. These are your 2004 Seattle Mariners.
Yes, I reserve the right to change my opinion...
But that's only after the Mariners acquire a big bat. Which is not going to happen. So there you go.
"KILL" BILL: WATCH RONDELL WHITE HIT ANOTHER GW HR OFF OF US IN 2004!!!
