The Mariners are in a better position right now than at any point in their history. How did we get here? And what happens now that they're coming home?

#OTD in 1914, some absolute A-level trolling from Filene's.
With all eyes in Boston on the Braves -- who are one win away from a World Series victory for the ages -- the well-known Hub retailer runs a sale on ... sox!

cheeky ad from the Boston Herald of October 13, 1914. With the Boston Braves one game from a World Series title (they won Game Four that day), retailer Filene's runs a sale on men's silk socks, with a headline, "May We Focus Attention on Sox A Moment?"

This 1979 M’s drubbing of New York made it easy for Topps when picking card highlights! One of the earliest games I attended after we moved to Seattle.

Terrace reflection, Leamington Spa, UK. It legit looks like a lower level of that building, thanks to the water stillness.

Terraced building with classical columns lit with multiple colors of light. There’s a partial reflection of this image onto the surface of a still waterway nearby

Accurate fridge magnet if you also consider card binders as "books I've yet to finish." #CardSky

Fridge magnet that shows a woman holding a book and the text, "I assume I'll die when my stack of unread books falls on top of me."

Tough grid today, as Gold Gloves are often my weak link. The addition of extra innings _has_ relieved some brain strain from playing, TBQH.
