Life is not always generous in the opportunities it affords you to simply choose happiness. But in the wake of a flurry of sports benevolence - and a great many moves from one Jerry Dipoto - you are invited to look simply at the Mariners in their post-Randy Arozarena era. The era in which they are undefeated and score so many runs. The era where hope springs as jauntily as a bat connecting with a Drew Thorpe fastball, and the act of watching the fellas in Northwest Green no longer feels like something that could see the U.S. banned from competing in the Olympics.
