Mariners Analysis: East Coast Mariners Fans

I’m just like all of you. Except I’m three hours ahead.

When Fernando Rodney blows a save, I see it at 1 a.m. It throws off my sleep schedule. When I get excited about a Felix Hernandez and Michael Pineda pitching matchup, I have to think about the possibility of taking a mid-afternoon nap in order to stay up late to watch it all.

And when I go to bed, with what I think is a comfortable lead in hand, I always run the risk of waking up to potential bad news.
