RIP Dave Niehaus, 1935-2010.

Seattle's voice of summer: Dave Neihaus, 1935-2010. RIP old friend.

I've never had more bittersweet homecoming than I had last Thursday:
After I had walked into my parents' and said my hellos/gave my hugs, my mom causally said "We saved these for you," and handed me the front page and sports section from that day's Seattle Times.
Because of my mid-term schedule, I hadn't had time to do very much of anything outside the school spectrum, so the front page of the Times reading "Dave Niehaus, 1935-2010 Our Voice of Summer" was devastating. And he truly was, among a multitude of other things, the voice of puget sound summers.
It's a surreal notion to try to grapple with; that the man who was a Mariner before any player even donned an M's uni, who was an embodiment of the franchise itself, died suddenly from a heart attack in his Bellevue home Wednesday night.
On Friday, I stopped by Safeco Field and signed my thanks and name on a poster for Mr. Neihaus outside of home plate, but I still can't fully grasp the idea that I won't hear him on 710am as I drive around the streets of Seattle.
Thank you for everything Mr. Neihaus, you will be missed; into the crisp autumn night goes the voice of summer.
Fly Fly Away.

still.grimey Supports Husky Basketball

So my fellow students at the University of Oregon may not be to thrilled with me when I say that I like the Huskies, particularly their basketball program. But, fuck them. I was watching B-Roy and Nate Rob before they were watching Aaron Brooks and ...?
At this juncture in the tournament, much to the chagrin of my bracket, I'm really pulling for the Q-Pon, Isiah Thomas, and the rest of the boys in purple-n-gold to make a deep run in the tourney. While your boy yung.geezy does have them in the sweet sixteen, albeit losing to West Virginia, I think it would be a great thing for the city of Seattle to have a basketball team to root for early in April (because, you know, the Sonics got, like, stolen or something).

Eat your heart out Kentucky, the 206 has the illest dancers in the tourney.

Also, it should be noted that Isiah Thomas (far right in above picture) is hooping in a pair of Space Jam XIs. Should you not know what those are, click here.

Christmas Come Early.

I don't think I've been this excited about a Mariners season since the 90s when we were boasting rosters with the likes of The Big Unit, A-Rod, Junior, Edgar Martinez(when he could still walk), Dan Wilson, Jay Buhner, Joey Cora, etc.. And I don't know that I've been this excited about baseball in December since, well, ever.
"But Geezy," you might find yourself asking, "where is this new found excitement stemming from?"
Quite simple my little reader: From the signing of the man pictured below...
CLIFF LEE!

They were grimey then : Bag(left) and Bard(strapped) circa 2006

Much like Mef and his Clan brethren, the good people of still.grimey roll deep with their homies from way back. In the last week, I have been fortunate enough to enlist the (much needed) services of two of my best boys from back home. You know them as JAM and (Killah) Cameron, I know them as Bag and Bard.Read more »
