for it's root,root,root for the Mariners

You may or may not know that i am a HUGE fan of going to Mariners games. I love everything about them, the ambiance,the food,the unity of the crowd rooting the m's on,i even enjoy doing "the wave". Unfortunately, I have not been able to attend an M's game at Safeco field in almost 2 seasons,which is a rarity for me considering i used to go 3 or 4 times a season. needless to say,when the opportunity arose to attend the last m's game of the season, i jumped on it!

My co-teacher Schimere had gotten a few free tickets from a family she babysits for and so kindly invited me to go. It's basically been tradition that every game i go to a game the M's lose. I was completely surprised when not only were we ahead by the 4th inning,but we STAYED ahead for the rest of the game! It was tons of fun and I am going to make sure it is not another 2 seasons before i attend another game!


you can see we had pretty fantastical seats..right next to ichiro!
