So far so good! Go Mariners! I hope they can bring some pride back to the Norhtwest after the Blazers choked away a sure championship in the 4th quarter of game 7 to the Lakers last spring. And Os, maybe you better not talk up the Mainers, you might jinx them too . - RT

Oh geez!! I just heard they played today and lost. I thought the next game was tomorrow . I only saw a little of the Mets/Cardinals game.

Hey Reel Truth, I'm originally from back east and have been a Boston Red Sox fan all my life to this day. I dislike the Yankee's so much that I bet $20.00 on them hoping it would jinks them. This is a small price to pay for a Boston fan. Everyone Ispole to after game one was calling for a sweep. I warned them but thye did not listen. If you have followed base ball you will now what i'm talking about. EF

Thanks for being so conserned Rt,but this is not college football where freak things like that ducky game that happened a couple weeks ago,at Autizm stadium
sorry about you're Beavers
Hey we wanted to get one game in NY and we did,now we come home and I'm pumped because I hate them Yankees they rate right up there with them damn A's(sorry Jeff)
The bottom line in the post season is pitching and defense....I like our chances
----GO MARINERS----

Yep and thats what failed them in the bottom of the 8th yesterday. Soo close, yet so far awway. I guess that had to happen sometime, I mean the pitching has been perfect and so has the defense (nearly). I guess we can just be thankful it happened early in the series and not in a game 6 or 7.

------------------

One thing though Os,
Those damn A's as young as they are will be around and winning a lot longer than those damn Mariner's. They will be lucky to keep A-Rod after this season and even if they do will they be able to afford anybody else of any quality to be with him. Let's also not forget that Lou is a free agent after this year too!!!
Now having said all that I am now, that my team is out rooting for the M's to go all the way, they have a good shot. The 8th yesterday was tough but do you think that the Yankees were going to be shutout the entire series, they hadn't scored in 21 innings up to that point. There is no way that a lineup with Jeter, Williams and Justice are going to be shutout forever. So the prediction is M's in six. As far as I'm concerned the Yankee's rate just above (but just barely) the Dodgers on the who I hate the most in baseball list!!!!
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
