After [[Seattle Garages/Season 6#Limiter:Released|making it]] to the [[Internet Series]] and driving a tour bus to [[Hall of Flame|the Void]] and back to [[Jaylen Hotdogfingers#The Return|fetch a dead friend]], the [[Seattle Garages]] were on a hot streak, ready to win again in [[Season 7]]. Star pitcher [[Jaylen Hotdogfingers]] was back, better than ever, and ready to lead the band straight to the playoffs. Well... mostly. [[Necromancy]], it seems, has consequences. Fan favorite pitcher [[Mike Townsend]] had disappeared, although fans claimed to see his shadow from time to time. Hotdogfingers began to lose control, occasionally beaning players with pitches with a wild look in her eyes. [[Ruby Tuesday]] shocked the league as the breadth of consequences imposed by the [[Blaseball Gods]] in response to necromancy became apparent.

Splortswise, the Garages continued running a small ball strategy, to great success. Batter [[Theodore Duende]] lead the league in sacrifice flies, perfecting the "[[Seattle Shuffle]]." Band members [[Greer Gwiffin]], [[Lang Richardson]], and [[Farrell Seagull]] ranked in the league wide top 5 for walks, and their consistent presence on base once again helped power the Garages' RBI scoring strategy. The band was performing well and consistently winning, but all eyes were on Hotdogfingers and the curse she carried. In the Lateseason, that curse hit home when incinerations during Garages games caused instability to chain to [[Tot Clark]] and later, [[Malik Destiny]]. While both teammates survived, Hotdogfingers was shaken after witnessing the incinerations she caused firsthand, and vowed to find a way to pay off her debt. The Garages once again qualified for the postseason, where they beat the [[Charleston Shoe Thieves]] in a hard fought 3-2 series before losing 1-3 to the future Internet Series Champions the [[Mexico City Mild Wings]] in the [[Mild League]] Championship Series.

NEW Seattle Garages

A bar graph depicting the NEW Season 1 Garages wins over .500 across the entire season. We'll suck forever.

It's a NEW universe, a NEWly fallen team, and a NEW season of Blaseball. After the events of Fall Ball, the Band looks a little different, that won't stop them from rocking hard. The Garages' NEW Season 1 debut featured the triumphant return of Henry Marshallow, the talents of longtime vets Rivers Clembons and Baby Triumphant, and the introduction of new favorites including Jesús Rodriguez and Deion Gamage. The Garages also returned to their roots, rejoining the Chaotic Evil division. Despite a stacked division, the Band put on a good showing thanks to their well optimized lineup (featuring the talents of Mindy Rahman and Josephine Aster) and mostly satisfactory pitching led by Brisket Friendo with no thanks to Timmy Vine. The Garages just barely clinched a Postseason Seed over longtime friends the Yellowstone Magic but fell short against the powerhouse Mexico City Wild Wings. They bowed out of the bracket with a 1-3 record.

A Horrible Mistake We Will Make Again and Again

In the Season 1 Election, history repeated as the Forbidden Book was once again opened. The Band escaped immediate consequences, but the threat of Solar Eclipse(s) now looms. On a happier note, the Band gained extra Thwack thanks to the Guess Whose Thwack blessing, raising prospects of more positive contact in the future.
