5/25/22: Open Game Thread
Photo by Steph Chambers/ Kyle Lewis day #2 Another day, another baseball game. Today the Mariners play their lucky thirteenth game in a row, and look to take a series win against the Athletics. Let’s take a little look-see at the lineups: Kyle Lewis is still alive! Julio is batting cleanup! Is this excitement I feel? This lineup feels good, and if the last two games are any indication, we’re likely to see a lot of runs put on the board today. Especially if Robbie Ray can’t protect against the Big Inning™, which has plagued him this season. A day...

Mariners lose to the A’s, 7-5, which is fine, actually
it’s just a question of focus | Photo by Steph Chambers/ How a Parking Lot Fender-Bender Helped Me Learn to Love the 2022 Mariners The other day I was in a small fender bender with another car at the gas station. I was immediately frustrated; I had been distracted in the moment by forces beyond my control, didn’t do a full re-sweep behind me after the distraction, and bumped into a car that had, unbeknownst to me, drawn up into my blind spot in the interim, waiting for a spot at one of the pumps to open. Immediately, I was livid; it was the latest frustration in...
