THE SAFETY DANCE
Actually, when Raul Ibanez goes into a 3-for-54 slump in June, I'll be doing a dance that's bigger than the Safety Dance.
Thanks to 1918 for the inspiration for this post.
People start reminiscing. "I remeber Raul Ibanez! I always liked him!" and so on. Reality will set in, and when he's hitting .260 with five home runs at the All-Star break, we'll all be reminded why he was let go in the first place. As history takes its course, Raul Ibanez will be the "You Spin Me (Like a Record)" of Mariners baseball.
I think what the 2004 Seattle Mariners need to do is hire VH1's Ahmir Whogivesafrickwhathisname is. He's the guy who hosts that horrible VH1 special "Bands Reunited". I mean, if the Mariners need a cheerleader who can get excited over crap players, it's Ahmir!
The thing is, the guy should be ridiculed forever for even thinking about bringing Kajagoogoo back for one more show. Ditto for The Alarm. Don't forget about A Flock of Seagulls as well.
The one shining moment of "Bands Reunited" is the Extreme episode, when Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt would have nothing to do with a reunion. Seeing that was worth more than words, pardon the pun.
Folks, Raul Ibanez sucks. He really, really sucks. There is a reason why the Mariners didn't keep him after the 2000 season. So he had 3 decent seasons in Kansas City. Big freaking deal.
He's not worth the money he was given. David and I will be proven right. As will most of the Mariners Blognation. We do know what we're talking about.
And you can spin that like a record baby, right round, round round, beyotch!!!
