The '''Seattle Garages''' are a [[Blaseball]] team in the [[Chaotic Evil]] division of the [[Evil League]]. They have been a part of [[Internet League Blaseball]] since [[Season 1]]<ref>[[Facts/Lore Disambiguation Guide]]</ref>. They play their home games at [[Hotdogfingers Memorial Climate Pledge Garage and Parking Facility]], also known as the Big Garage, which is located inside an aircraft hangar, a garage for planes.
 
 
 
The Garages are also a musical supergroup known by [[The Garages|several names]] and composed of members of the best bands in the Seattle blunge scene. Before each home game, they perform their self-penned team song "Smells Like Team Spirit" in lieu of "The Star-Spangled Banner", which according to team captain and frontman [[Theodore Duende]] "doesn't even slap". Pitcher [[Mike Townsend]] was kicked out of the group after what the other band members deemed "poor performance in both senses of the word", but remains on the Garages' roster due to legal complications.
 
 
 
The Garages play exclusively against teams that happen to be in the same city as their Eternal Tour, which lines up perfectly with their League-mandated schedule.
 
 
 
The bats used by the Garages are modified to have the appearance of electric guitars, though whether these bats can actually play any music other than harsh noise is debated by some Blaseball fans.
 
 
 
They are also an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-syndicalism anarcho-syndicalist collective].
 
 
 
== History ==
 
 
 
In [[Season 1]], the Garages finished fifth in the Chaotic Evil division. Following the opening of [[The Forbidden Book]], star pitcher [[Jaylen Hotdogfingers]] was the first player in league history to be [[Incineration|incinerated]].
 
 
 
Despite competing for a playoff spot for most of [[Season 2]], the Garages finished with a 46-53 record, good for a tie for third place in their division. On Day 77, [[The Garage Opening]] occurred. The event has prompted some fans to use the phrase "the Garage Door is open to all fans", referencing both the event itself and "the liminal space between the excitement and disappointment that comes from being a fan of a Seattle splorts team".<sup>[citation needed]</sup>
 
 
 
The Garages kicked off [[Season 3]] with a 13-7 road victory against their heated rivals the [[Hellmouth Sunbeams]]. Despite the Sunbeams benefiting from a [[Season_3#Ongoing_Decrees|fourth strike]], [[Mike Townsend]] earned the victory, much to the shock and amusement of fans. Captain [[Theodore Duende]] want 4-for-5, while [[Allison Abbott]] and [[Avila Guzman]] each contributed home runs.
 
 
 
==Mascots==
 
 
 
After failing to agree on a single mascot for the whole team due to alleged hotheadedness, the Garages have come to a "temporary" solution where each player has their own mascot who roots for them.
 
 
 
[[Mike Townsend]]'s mascot is often ganged up on by the other 13 mascots, and has had to hire its own security detail.
 
 
 
===List of player mascots ===

==Creative output==
 
 
 
===Music===
 
 
 
The group's early output was animal-themed. A representative song of this era is "About a Squirrel", which is about a squirrel.<ref>[https://thegarages.bandcamp.com/album/about-a-squirrel About A Squirrel - Song by @ariskofrain and mucusqueen]</ref>
 
 
 
Following [[Jaylen Hotdogfingers]]' incineration, the Garages recorded "Heart-Shaped Hotdog".<ref>[https://juneseptember.bandcamp.com/track/heart-shaped-hotdog-demo Heart Shaped Hotdog - A song by june september]</ref>
 
 
 
The group recorded "Black Hole Sunbeam" to commemorate the absolute thrashing the Garages gave the [[Hellmouth Sunbeams]] on Season 2 Day 54.
 
 
 
On 4 August 2020, the group released "Mike Townsend (Is a Disappointment)".<ref>[https://thegarages.bandcamp.com/track/mike-townsend-is-a-disappointment "mike townsend (is a disappointment)" by Rain]</ref>
 
 
 
===Zine ===
 
 
 
[[THE SUN IS OUR ENEMY|''THE SUN IS OUR ENEMY'']] is the official zine of the Garages, edited by [[Allison Abbott]] and featuring contributions by various members of the organization.
 
 
 
==Controversies==
 
 
 
Following the opening of [[The Forbidden Book]] at the end of [[Season 1]], some<sup>[Who?]</sup> began speculating that the entire Garages team does not actually exist. Proponents of this theory claim that the Garages players and their fanbase are "delusional, hallucinating, enthralled by the restless spirits of Seattle, or perpetuating a hoax designed to attack the heart of the game of [[Blaseball]] itself". The most prominent supporters of this conspiracy have been the [[Hellmouth Sunbeams]].
 
 
 
Some fans and players speculate that Jaylen Hotdogfingers was actually murdered by [[The Sun|the Sun]] rather than incinerated by a rogue [[Umpire]], or that she is not actually dead.
