I don't know what map you're looking at, but I think I've mentioned that the greater Seattle metropolitan area extends to 29 miles from Lexington, Ky.

But just to save you time, you can show me as eliminated anyhow, because I don't think the Mariners will win the World Series.

Will the addition of Wandy and Marte's call up make a difference in the Challenge? I still say we need a bat/leadoff hitter.
