Well, there still is that bullpen. Rumbelow just about blew the whole game. At least Strickland did his job.

I can't think of Mariners opening day that I had such little excitement for. Situation is a little different because of Japan, but even if it were in Seattle, doubt many people would care.
I will follow the team, but doubt I'll waste much time watching them.

You sure seem to post a lot in Mariners threads for a guy that likes to act like he's just too cool to care much about those $h!t old Mariners.

I have supported the Mariners for many years. Used to go to a ton of games. I'm just losing patience with them. All I was trying to say was that I can't think of the last time there was such little excitement for opening day. Which is completely true. Even when we had bad years, the beginning of the season was exciting. Maybe they surprise this year, they seem to do best when they have the least expectations.

IMO, the lack of excitement for opening day was due to the circumstances surrounding the game. It's kind of hard to get fired up about a game that starts at 2:30 in the morning on a random Wednesday on a different continent when the rest of MLB is still in the midst of spring training. Even though I know it's not, it just feels like it's an exhibition game or something. I'd be willing to bet the home opener will be much different.

There's no way they maintain that pace.

I don't care what everyone is saying, this team can be really, really good. There should be a new level of excitement with the aging, lazy players, some who were malcontent punks, out the door. If Spring Training was any indication, there's a ton of young, hungry prospects waiting for their chance. It's great. If Servais and Dipoto give the Felix train a long leash, it'll be a make enough slap in the face though.

All the hand wringing for nothing, really.
For me, it was a wonderful way to celebrate Japans contributions to MLB
And... 2-0!

I still maintain the Ichiro thing was a farce and a joke. He didn't deserve to be there and took away ABs from up and comers Bishop and Moore. You have to earn your way on a major league roster and watching Ichiro go 2 for 37 in the spring and 0 for 5 against Oakland was ridiculous. To contrast, Julio Franco played til he was 49 because he could still freaking hit-he earned it.

Anyone else going to the opener on Thursday? Can't wait, and it looks like the weather is cooperating.
