So Baseball is finally here! I have been enjoying baseball these past few days and I love that Baseball Tonight is back. The Mariners are 1-2 out of the gate, but it is definitely not time to panic. Actually, I have been very encouraged by the baseball I have been watching. It is totally different from last year. Guys are working the count, getting into opponents bullpens, getting clutch hits. We got screwed yesterday and Morrow did mess things up but we played perfect baseball for 8 and 2/3rds innings. And Today although Carlos Silva definitely sucks really bad, the bullpen did its job and the offense put up a decent amount of runs. Hopefully we can win tomorrow and leave the series with a tie. All i know is, baseball in Seattle is much more enjoyable to watch than last year.
Now Batting #24….Ken Griffffey Jr.!!!!!!
So baseball is about to start! You might be asking me why I am so excited when my team lost over 100 games last year. Good question. I don’t know something about the beginning of a season where you just say to yourself, well maybe just maybe we can be good. Maybe we don’t have a great shot but we have a shot and that is why you play the game! Plus my childhood idol Ken Griffey Jr. will be making probably his final appearance as a Mariner and probably as a baseball player. Of course he won’t be the superstar of yesteryear, but he just looks right in a Mariner’s uniform. He went 0-1 in today’s spring training game against the Australian national team. A walk and a long flyball to left field. And in other notes Miguel “I am making $9 Million dollars this year” Batista gave up 4 ERs and didn’t even get out of the inning. Wow….
