Early September can mean many things. A slow change to the weather, still warm but not unbearably so, the sun often joined by a pleasant breeze. New seasons of television, those that cling to traditional broadcasting schedules, returning to light up our screen. New popular video game releases that let you choose between giant robot battles, fantastical adventures, or striking out among the stars (if you like annihilating your free time like I do, you choose all three). Or, if you are so lucky to have a competitive team to root for, meaningful baseball. This year both Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds fans are lucky in such a way, and today it was the Cincinnati fans that had the reason to cheer as Seattle dropped the series with a 6-7 outcome in game two.
