The Mariners and Athletics squared off at T-Mobile Park this afternoon for a lazy Sunday contest. The away team prevailed, mercifully ending a first half and sending both teams into the All-Star break.
It was a gloomy, dreary, overcast day — the last day of a four-day weekend for some of us. It was the type of weather that perfectly teed up some Sunday blues. Unfortunately the Mariners contributed to the colorless, unilluminated afternoon. Well, everyone with the exception of Omar Narvaez.
It wasn’t all doom and gloom today though. Today is my father’s birthday. He turns 58 today!
