Seeing old friends can be fraught. On the one hand, you’re happy for their success! No really! So happy for them! On the other hand, though, even if you are genuinely happy for your old pals doing well, it can feel a little like a referendum on where you are in your own life. Poor Domingo Santana isn’t enjoying the same team success with Seattle as he was with the Brewers—hope you didn’t get too used to the playoffs, Domingo—but today he and the rest of the Mariners showed they’re doing just fine, thank you, no I’m not wrapping up this bread to take it home, okay fine I am, but it’s to feed the ducks in the very picturesque pond located next to my townhouse, and definitely not to save on breakfast tomorrow.
Mariners come out on top in battle of Old Friends
