I always try to read the Mailbag on the M's official site - not for insight, but for unintentional comedy. Exhibit A...

Do you think that if the team would keep the dugout a little bit cleaner and had a little more pride in it that it may help them play with more discipline on the field?

Damn! I actually meant to ask Derek and Dave about this at the USSM pizza feed! Haha! And, as to not leave you hanging, here's Corey Brock's answer...

Having spent a fair amount of time in the Mariners' dugout before games -- that's where manager Mike Hargrove talks to reporters -- I've noticed an obvious lack of garbage cans. This could certainly be part of the reason why the dugout on television appears as messy as it is -- empty paper cups, sunflower seeds, chewing gum wrappers, etc. Really, I have no answer, other than to tell you every dugout in baseball looks messy. All I know is that it's messy when the team wins and messy when they lose. Take it from a guy who likes to vacuum, it doesn't make sense.
