The first few months of this season were a breath of fresh air, and not just because the team was in a playoff position for most of that time. One thing I love about baseball season is that there’s always something to look forward to. On a plan-less winter Tuesday, you’ll sometimes have nothing to look forward to except for bedtime. In the summer, though, there’s usually at least a baseball game.
How many times over the years have we tuned into a Mariner game at 7:10 PM, only to see them down 2-0 by 7:30? And for how many iterations of the Mariners has a 2-0 deficit seemed like a reason to tune out before the game is halfway over?
