“I wish we were in the National League” said Seattle Mariner Manager John McLaren the other day. As our record would have had us in the post-season if we were, I agree. However, the Mariners were so streaky this season, I suspect they’d have hit a bad streak during the post season anyway.

We had the opportunity to go to a game on Friday night – we had great seats, watched the roof close (the first time I’d seen that) and got to enjoy a nail biter – won in the 9th inning by a walk off homerun.

I think there’s a great group in the Post-Season – congratulations to Amy on the Rockies pulling it off (quite the squeaker), and to the Phillies (who have former Mariner pitcher Jamie Moyer on the team – congrats Tom), as well as the Cubs coached by former Mariner Manager Lou Pinella. I also like the Angels, and have a soft spot for the Cleveland Indians, so I’m sure it’ll be fun to watch. Although, I must admit, I’m annoyed that the first round of playoffs is on TBS, a station I don’t get.
