WHAT DOES JEREMY THINK OF THE 2004 MARINER COMMERCIALS?
The Mariners have given me and David some great material to use this year. When Tim Hudson shuts out the Mariners 3-0, we can use the ol' "they didn't get all of it" excuse. Or better yet, when Willie Bloomquist makes a costly error to give the Angels the lead in the 8th inning, we can yell "HEY NOW WILLIE, WHERE'S YOUR WOLF PRIDE?"
Anyways, David and I were talking earlier and for some unknown reason, he brings up Crowded House's 1986 hit "Don't Dream It's Over". If you've ever listened to the radio, you've probably heard this song. Of course you have.
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried, and believe me, we've tried.
As for the "GET ALL OF IT" tagline...
Since the Mariners are robbing their fans of Bat Night once again, we've taken it upon ourselves to have our own bat night.
The first 15,000 fans 18 and over will receive a Lusty Lady Stripper Light Bat [David edit: origin of bat in latter part of this post; Jeremy called it reminiscent of the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story"]. It lights up and you'll be sure to get all of it.
I'm sure to have a picture of it in a few days, who knows.
BTW, one more note on the commercials. In the Raul Ibanez commercial, Quinton McCracken is on third base. Yes, it's only a commercial, because you know damn well McCracken won't get there often, if at all, during the 2004 season.
Hey, we have to give the 18 and over crowd something of their own. No more Kazuhiro Sasaki in Seattle, so there can't be any more San Shin headband giveaways.
We do what we can here at Sports and Bremertonians. Stripper light bats, why the hell not?
IT'S A LIGHT BAT!!!
