Spring training 2010
Hi, my name is Jeff. Welcome to my Mariners Fan Blog. I’m a Seattle resident and have been following the Mariners for over 25 years during good times and bad. I love baseball and in addition to playing, coaching and being a fan of the game, I’m the Grandson of Gordon “Dusty” Rhodes MLB Pitcher 1929-36. Baseball is in my blood, and so is the sea after spending 20 years working on tugs and ships. I’m hoping to bring to my fellow fans a fun, informative and interactive Blog that we can all enjoy as we embark on the voyage of the 2011 season.Go M’s!
Oh and just in case you need to see for yourself what kind of Mariners fan I am, take a look at the video clip below of me “Getting out the Vacuum Grandma” as the M’s completed a back-to-back sweep down the stretch in 95. Go Ms!

Now that’s Passion Jeff!
Thanks Karen, Now I just need to channel it all correctly hmmm…
I’ve finally had a few moments to enjoy your site, and I must say if the M’s improve 1/10th as much as your web site, they’ll be playing thru October! What a great site. A true Mariner fan. GO MMMMMMM”SSSS
Thanks Mike, And welcome aboard. Cant wait to get you on my podcast radio show one of these wednesday nights once the season starts. I hope you got to see the story and photo of Digger Phelps! Go M’s!
Hey I happened across your blog googling for other Mariners blogs… just started one myself. That’s so cool that your grandfather played in the big leagues, and loved that clip. Let’s hope we get some of that excitement back in town soon.
Hi Ben Welcome aboard! Good luck with your Blog,Let me know how I can help.Go M’s! Jeff
Scrappy team Let’s go M’s!
Tied with the Red sox for hottest team in AL.I’m just sayin’
Hey Jeff,
I moved to Seattle area recently and it is difficult for me to understand both the mindsets of the fans and also the mindsets of the local sportscasters. Maybe you can explain things to me when I don’t understand them since you have been around forever. I have lived in several major markets, most recently in the NorCal bay area.

Jim, Welcome aboard. Lots of background to catch up on. There are some knowledgable Baseball fans around but lots of fairwether types with no appreciation of the history of the game,traditions etc. Feel free to ask questions as we go along or conact me at agitator2@rocketmail.com Go M’s!
You almost clocked that guy next to you.
Yes I guess you could say I got caught up in the moment and was oblivious to my surroundings…..
Hey Jeff! Love the site! We need to get together and talk a little baseball! I love you dancing with the vacuum! Hilarious
Sarah, Welcome aboard! Lots of room on this Blog for involvement of fellow fans. I do a Podcast as well on wednesday nights at 7 and am always looking for a co-host you would be great!
Hey Freind, I remember you showing me an autographed Baseball from the NY Yankees about 30 yrs ago. Had no Idea of your love for, and connection to the game. Great Job Jeff! Would love to hear from you.
Pat Selfridge…(Dusty)
Pat,Great to hear from you! I hope al is well for you and appreciate your comments and old memories from the good old days! Make sure you subscribe.Go M’s! Jeff

Hey Jeff,
Do you think the Ms should make a real serious pitch to aquire free agent slugger Prince Feilder?
Pat, Im not sure. Im trying to not get my hopes up to high. If we dont get him I hope we can add a bat and another starting pitcher even if it is Jamie Moyer to hold us over until Hultzen or Walker are ready. Happy holidays,Jeff
Jeff,
Looks like with Montero now a Mariner, we have a big bat for the middle of the lineup. As I here he is rather poor to average behind the plate, he will most likely be our DH and sometime first basemen. Fielder looks like a no go for whatever reason, and Montero is just another piece of the puzzle, as other moves should be comming soon. Looks like a better product on the feild next year. Getting excited!
