The Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners should petition for leave to play 162 times per year. While the East Canada avifauna might protest given the Mariners’ recent run of success, particularly in Seattle, there’s scarcely been a dull day at the ballpark between the clubs lately. Playoff thrillers, walk-off wins, rookies flirting with perfectos, seesaw games, simply every manner of exhilarating baseball played by two quality clubs with plenty of history and connection. This one, however, like the last six in Seattle and eight of the last 10 between the teams, went the way hoped by what felt like approximately 25% of the 44,000+ in attendance Saturday afternoon, as Seattle sent a massive Blue Jays contingent back to their hotels with heads hung low with a 9-8 Mariners victory.
