As a "seamhead," it really doesn't get any better for me then what is about to go down in a couple of hours. World Series. Game 7. Winner take all.

Recently, MLB Network did a piece on Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez's fans who come to Safeco Field en masse each time he pitches at home. The special section of seats is known as the "King's Court," playing off of Hernandez's nickname "The King" (a moniker he has had since before even breaking into the major leagues.)

Third baseman Kyle Seager will join Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez at next week's mid summer classic at Target Field in Minneapolis.

Former University of Washington Husky hurler Tim Lincecum has just thrown a no-hitter while leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 shutout victory over the San Diego Padres.

When the game ended, we went to the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame to go see the newest display and plaque featuring Ken Griffey, Jr.  Junior was inducted into the M's Hall just a couple of weeks
