No, there is at least one Mariner fan on the net, Baal help us,
and I've been watching what little there is to watch about the
Mariners.  Phil Bradley won his arbitration case (.300, 26HR, 100 runs
last year) which is a sure-fire indicator he'll be traded in the
'86-'87 off season.  The only real question for this Texas-stranded
Seattle fan is whether NBC can add to its 7-year streak of not showing
the Mariners on TV.  The Rangers should keep Seattle out of the cellar
again; I agree with the original poster that Texas is the least-mentioned
AL team (and probably any major league team) on the net.

no more futile thing a man can do."
