Key nuggets to drop in conversation regarding the mariners:

1. "Man, the Mariners pitching staff really overachieved around the all-star break, the fall back to earth was so predictable"

2. "I really don't think McLaren (the manager) and Bavasi (the general manager) deserve another year"

3. "They should be playing Adam Jones (top prospect) every day in left, instead of those other bozos"

I can go on all day, let me know if you need more!
