Well... That didn't work to well.
Hopefully we will have better luck tonight when I get to actually watch. For those of you who don't know, we were kind of pounded on in a 10-5 loss. Moyer was hit by a ball that sounded pretty bad over the radio, but it sounds like he ended up ok.

The Mariners put on a good push in the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs that made everyone think of comeback, kind of like a few years ago when we scored all our runs with 2 outs on the table. Alas, it was not to be. Some nice ball play by Bloomquist on 3rd though, a nice bare-handed throw in the early innings for an out at first. At least we managed to get a few hits, even if we didn't string them together very well. It is early season though, and it is only the first game of the series. we should be able to take the other two and prepare for Oakland. On a side note I can see listening to a lot of games this year with the MLB broadcast. Especially since they have added an option to not use Real Player.

The other team I actually pay attention to, Tampa Bay, did a doubly good thing. Not only did they win, but they took out the Yankees 9-4. A-Rod hit his first home run for the pinstripes, but it was in a futile effort against the explosive bats of the Devil Rays! How many times did you expect to see that sentence in the off-season? It looks like Lou is doing some great work down there. Zambrano was a little flaky, but he battled his way out of it and managed to hold the Yankees to their first 4 points, it will be interesting to see how he handles the rest of his starts.

The tally for other teams I pay attention to.

Twins won in 15 innings - It's the Twins, how can you not like the Twins?
Arizona lost by 2, but Johnson pitched pretty well. Especially considering his last Spring Training game. - Johnson left the Mariners on good terms in my mind, so now I have to pay attention to Arizona.
St. Louis lost - But since they didn't play Bo Hart, I really don't care. That guy was fun to read about last year, to bad he isn't in the starting line-up this time around. Until he is, you probably won't see me mention St. Louis again.
Yankees lost - It's the Yankees. Every time they loose I will mention it on here. Especially if it is to a team with 200 million less on the payroll.
