STONE MOJO
Not Stuck Mojo, that overrated rock group.
But I digress.
Larry Stone suggests that the Mariners try to get rid of their "bad mojo" , ala the Cubs with the infamous Steve Bartman baseball. BTW, it wasn't Steve Bartman's fault that the Cubs lost the NLCS.
Among the few items Stone has suggested:
Bobby Ayala's bullpen chair, Pat Gillick's phone, Al Martin's USC football letter, Kevin Mitchell's Vick's VapoRub jar, and Josias Manzanillo's athletic cup, to name a few.
So now, I'll suggest my ideas to be thrown into the M's Vault of Bad Mojo.
1. Alex Rodriguez "We Are On A Mission, Sir!" t-shirts
I think all of 6 people bought these shirts. And Alex was on a mission, alright. You all know how that ended up.
2. A "Marcarena" CD
As far as I know, the Kingdome still holds the record for the largest crowd to ever dance to the "Marcarena." For the love of god, please get me a shipment of these "Marcarena" CDs and I'll make sure that it's bigger than Disco Demolition Night.
The same can also can be said for the Baha Men's "Who Let The Dogs Out?"
3. "Raise The Roof" 1997 playoff placards
Yeah, the only thing that was raised was the bullpen's ERA.
4. The teal Mariner jerseys
(Paraphrasing) "They're just a bunch of softball jerseys," Jay Buhner.
5. Every "2 Outs, So What?" bumper sticker, sign, shirt, hat, bandana, etc.
116 wins, so what? That's what Yankees fans keep telling Seattle fans every chance they get. Facts are facts.
So there you go, there's 5 things I'd put into a vault of bad M's mojo.
And for the big bang, if there ever was a presentation to blow up all of the M's bad mojo, it could take place on Occidental Avenue, near Sports Warehouse. I was initially considering the 76 station, but we don't want to have a redux of the "Zoolander" Wham!-gas station scene.
Smash it up, smash it up.
