OMG PLEASE!

The Mariners need to bring back Ken Griffey Jr. Seriously, they traded away everyone with any name recognition that people can get behind (besides Ichiro and Felix Hernandez). WE NEED GRIFFEY, THE FANBASE WILL GET BEHIND HIM.

Also it's Ken Griffey Jr. He is this franchise. If the Mariners are smart (which is debatable) they'll do it. *crosses

I totally saw that this morning and thought of you and the Ms discussion we were having. (That I still need to reply to your comment of...)

YES THEY SHOULD. If no other reason, only to make themselves a buttload of money.

I liked the idea of him retiring here, after making his start here too. Starting a Mariner, finishing a Mariner.

I'd go see him play. He was my favorite when I was like, 8. Haha. Probably just cause he was the most talked about.

[thethingiswhat]

:D

Yes! It's a smart financial decision and especially since they're in a rebuilding year, it would be good for them to have some star power.

And he has to retire as a Mariner. I went to his first game back in Seattle when he was with the Reds and it was so great and emotional. The city just loves him.

To borrow a line from David Cook: COME BACK TO MEEEEEEE!

Nice use of DC lyrics there. XD

Oh, this is totally off topic but I kept meaning to ask you. I was going to mention the performance in a fic, so I wanted to be as accurate as possible and since you were there...

What time of day was it when they did their Jimmy Kimmel set? :-D

[thethingiswhat]

It was evening. I believe he started playing somewhere around 8:00pm. If you want more specifics, feel free to ask but I think it was about that time.

[elenauial]

Mmk, cool. So how long do you think the whole thing lasted? Like, after the autographs and everything, what time would you guess they left?

[thethingiswhat]

EEP. I think it was around 9:30ish when Ash and I left, and that was about when they started calling the band guys to get them to leave. David stopped signing awhile before that though. I want to say the whole thing wrapped up and they left around 9:30-10pm.

I hope I'm being helpful.

[elenauial]

Yes! That's great, thank you. :D :D

[thethingiswhat]

:D I'm so excited to read this story when you finish!

[elenauial]

I'm writing it with Nikki and it's gonna be really awesome. We have this super spiffy plot idea.

It involves Neal. That's all I'll say. Haha. It's a surprise.

[thethingiswhat]

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE NEAL.

I can't wait for it. It's bound to be great.
