It’s hard to believe that this is the last Mariner game for at least half a year. Every year the baseball season follows this familiar pattern of stunning and delighting, winking, beaconing, and then dragging the last mile before slamming the breaks. Even though we are all ready for the end, maybe we have been counting down the days, its arrival is jarring. I feel like I should have more time left with these losers. Losers, please don’t leave yet. I need to watch you lose more.
Here it is. The final lineup. Make of it what you will, but I find it a far bit more interesting then last years final lineup.
