I would be more excited at the game tomorrow if they hadn't just lost 6 games after taking 2 of 3 at Yankee Stadium
(Them doing poorly, IMO, means the chances increase ever so slightly of doing it as the Mariners will be looking for ways to distract fans from the product on the field and find ways of highlighting their SuperStar .... at least that's what I'm counting on, unfortunately)
In Fantasy land, it would be kind of cool if the M's call Ole about using OM for Felix and they say, "yah we've heard it discussed ...."
Tusk...I will be going to the Mariners game vs Twins next Friday, 5/31. Speaking of on a roll...the Twins are on a 9 game losing streak...ouch.
I wonder what the pitching rotation will be for Seattle...possible Felix start would be awesome...Oh My.

Well, yes, that would certainly tell you something, all right!
I saw that they've sent Montero down. So much for another "promisingly" great player.As for your fantasy land: a.) remember the song Young at Heart; and b.) remember your 2012
RE: "Oh My" and Felix Hernandez - Tusk - 05-24-2013
I wonder if a marketing director will be at the game tomorrow....?
Maybe I should scout someone in that dept out and give them a copy of "Listen Up" referring to my email. I've got copies to spare...
...I'll be up in the suites and they are ALWAYS suffocatingly polite with their customer service hmmmm

LOL! Wasn't it Winston Churchill who alledgedly gave the "never give up (in)" speech. Whoever it was, I believe you must be some sort of re-incarnation!
Have fun at the game tomorrow!
RE: "Oh My" and Felix Hernandez - Tusk - 05-26-2013
.... So the losing streak has extended to 8 games and even 'perfect' Felix could not stop the bleeding....
On the bright side, my mission has taken another smaller step, hopefully, forward.
I thought I had spare LU cd's, I did have one, but it was one I got a year ago in LA (not even the delux
) but for some reason, I felt I should keep it (sentimentality? 
). I figured I'll stop by a Walmart and pick another up. In case I couldn't find one, I burned a CD with just OM on it. In hindsight, I should have brought the non delux one instead of roll the dice the WM will still have LU in stock, and giving a burned CD doesn't leave a good impression. An unopened, bought CD, I think, sends a better message.... Luckily there was one left (among maybe 5 of Casey's CD), it was the bonus songs CD
Once we settled in at the All Star Club, by the top of the 3rd Inning, I made my way out to the desk Concierge.
Normally, I'm not a big fan of going to high end places where people faun all over you and are uber cheerful and eager to please. I'm one that usually likes to get to my seat asap and not need to get into a conversation about how my day is.... That is the way it is in the Suites, at Safeco. They employ extremely helpful and cheerful people to greet you at every corner. It is this I'm hoping to exploit to increase the chances (however small) of giving this idea a chance.
When I approached Monica, and asked her if the marketing people work at Safeco, and I was wondering if there was a chance I could meet one. I could tell by Monica's look and body language, she was thinking...."oooooh kayyy, what's this guy trying to sell...?"
What she did say is, "Yah, sometimes, is there anything I could help you with?" I briefly talked to her about my intention and that I had already received a reply from marketing that they will 'see if it's a fit'... I guess my explanation must have been convincing because her body relaxed and her demeanor was less guarded and more helpful.
I gave her the unopened CD I had just purchased and pointed to the first song, "Oh My", she understood the phrase's connection to the Mariners. "I just want to suggest they give this a listen to see that it does fit. I figured to facilitate this by dropping off the CD for them to listen to"
By now, it was obvious to Monica my intentions, her body language changed and she was more engaged, taking down the info, which track to listen to, my number and email address.
By the end of the night, I stopped to thank her, and she cheerfully said she had already contacted someone in marketing and they would give it to the person involved. She told me she gave them all my contact info. and handed me her business card.
I've pushed it as far as I can now. Hopefully, I have done enough to get them to at least give the song a listen.... It's now up to OM to convince them...
Fingers crossed

Wow I did not expect a reply this quickly, the email subject is "Oh My"
Quote:Anthony,
Our Suite Concierge shared with me this morning the CD and song suggestion you were kind enough to bring to us.
I have shared your idea with our Game Entertainment folks. They were able to pull the track off of one of our digital subscription services, so I would be happy to mail the CD back to you, if you can provide me your address.
Again, thanks for taking the time to share this track with us. It’s a fun song.

My reply (of course I had to do a sell job, gain a new Halien as well as thank them
)Quote:Thank you for such a speedy reply, and thank Monica for her diligence as well, unexpected but appreciated.
No need to return the disc, think of it as a gift for at least considering the idea.
I think "Oh My" is a great fit specifically because of the Niehaus connection and it's got a James Bond/Swampy feel about it and a rap bridge by rapper B.o.B 'for the kids' LOL
I have never been this enthusiastic about a performer this young (22) or any age for that matter, but she is a multi genre (mostly Jazz/Rock/Blues) , 'old soul' and down to earth performer/personality.
If you find you enjoy the CD, I have a Youtube Channel with video I took of her in Chicago (Lollapalooza), LA and Las Vegas. The Vegas shows, she sings her songs plus covers Jazz standards (Summertime, Night and Day) as well as performs Miles Davis' "All Blues"

I've been a Mariner Fan since the Kingdome days of Randy Johnson vs Mark McGuire, so I would love to tie two of my passions together
Thank you again for responding, and I really hope this comes to a fruition

One. Step. Closer.
Congratulations on the step closer. It's hard to know whether the "it's a fun song" remark is just something nice to say in closing, or whether it might mean interest in pursuing rights to use it.
