I just want to get that down while I’m feeling that feeling again. It has been several years.
Yesterday’s game was tight, but the Mariners prevailed. This put them in first place in the AL West for the first time in 20 years. (Tied with the Rangers)
Today’s game ended up being a laugher. Is that a word? 15 to 2, Mariners hit 7 home runs, some sort of record I think.
It’s a happy time. But also more tense as there are now expectations.
After today’s day game, with temperatures in the 80s, we walked about a mile south, to get on the northbound train one stop south of our normal boarding location. The goal was to get more of a walk. We did, but it was perhaps a bit warmer than was good. So we stopped in a Whole Foods on the final walk home to get the fixings for a smakerel dinner.
Tomorrow I will try to accomplish something of note. Like a chore, or some work. I did pay bills this morning, so not a total baseball day.
And of course, being in a position where the playoffs are a real possibility means that we will soon be asked to pay for playoff tickets. This will pile on the 2024 season ticket payment coming up soon.
But still, it has been a few satisfying days of Mariner baseball.
