Today, on the other hand, is something else entirely. Gone is the frustration. After all, what good does it do to be frustrated over something that you can't control? Not much. (Anyone who believes that, raise your right hand high in the air......no takers, eh)?
After eight and a half straight losses by our local providers of baseball mayhem (OK, so it's only the seventh inning and they could come back from a 3-0 deficit (with two on base) and win this thing--yeah, right) and the inevitable comparisons to last year's Kansas City Royals and their 20 game losing streak, it's time to take another tack, to whit....
Move over anti-Millenites, the unknown fans of Seattle are about to join your "bag brigade." It's time to stop being the silent majority and start protesting openly (well, more or less, since it's a little hard to be completely open when you have a bag over your head, after all).
Stop dressing in those green tee shirts that make you look like empty seats and show up for the games with your trusty grocery bags in hand. The TV cameras come on about 10 minutes before game the game starts. Time your demonstration of public apathy to begin at that exact moment, and do whatever it takes to get the camera operator(s) to notice you. (Remember, you will have a bag over your head; so your friends, family and employer won't know that it is you--unless you tell them, of course).
You can even feel free to express yourself verbally on the front of the bag, as the fans did in Detroit, by customizing it with "Fire (or Trade) ______________--inserting the target of your particular removal desire of the day. Just think how much of a message would be sent by about 20,000 or so (since that seems to be the most that show up anymore unless the Sawx or that team from New York are in town) people accessorized with the latest in le sac d'epicerie (grocery bag for the non-French speaker).
I will if you will. Call me.......
