Think he'd settle for an Ichiro bobblehead?

By Dwight Perry Ticked off at the Mariners? You bet. A man identifying himself as Nikolay Lachkov, a journalist for a Bulgarian Internet sports site, e-mailed The Seattle Times to complain about the Mariners blowing a 6-3 lead in the ninth inning to Texas on Sunday when Gold Glove second baseman Bret Boone let a ground ball go between his legs and reliever Eddie Guardado gave up a pair of two-run homers. "Yesterday I put my last $52.74 on the Mariners to win in the bottom of the eighth, when the score was 6-3," he wrote. "I have been a betting addict for many years and have lost a considerable amount of money, but I have never lost in a similar fashion. "My request is that the Seattle Mariners refund me the $52.74 I lost yesterday and send me an official apology for their performance in this game. "If they refuse to fulfill my request, I will curse the Seattle Mariners and they will never ever win the MLB title. So after the Babe Ruth curse and the curse of the Billy Goat, you will have the Lachkov curse as well." Never win a World Series? The Lachkov curse, we assume, is retroactive to 1977.

You can bet a game in the 8th inning?
If that's the case he's a moron for betting 52 bucks to win what had to be like a dollar if it was 6-3 at the time.

Then he should thank them for giving him a truly unique experience.

Surely there are better bets in the world with your last $52.74 than the Seattle Mariners.
