The Kid

Friday night Tara and I went to see Griffey's first appearance in Seattle since becoming a Cincinnati Red nine years ago. It was a bittersweet moment for all 47,000 of us to think of what could have become of the Mariners if he and that other guy would of stayed in Seattle as Mariners. I'm glad I had the opportunity with everyone else at the game to show our love and thank Griffey for what he did for baseball in Seattle.

In semi-related news, the HADW Swingers had our first loss of the season on Thursday to the other undefeated team in our league. It came down to a collision at home plate in the bottom of the seventh inning with 2 outs. The runner (who will not be identified here for further ridicule) was tagged out by a the catcher who caught a ball that literally rolled from the 3rd baseman after a relay through from the left fielder. We lost 5-6. It still hurts.
