Meaningful 162
By My consistent pessimism about the Mariners was certainly in full force after Austin Jackson lined a 5-0 3-2 pitch to right field in the bottom of the ninth, squandering a bases loaded-none out opportunity. But with Jackson busting ass to beat out a double play in the bottom of the 11th, they somehow pulled it out. As bad as the last 10 days went, if you had told me at the beginning of the year that they would be alive on the last Sunday of the year with King Felix on the mound, I would certainly have taken it and how.
And, yes, I can’t complain because As fans have been going through this for two months. I’d be surprised if they lost to Texas today but evidently I didn’t expect them to go 9-20, either…
