I've heard some Canadian commentators say that T-Mobile Park will feel like a Jays home game. No way. Mariners have baseball fever and are paying top dollar for tickets. I bet there might be a couple thousand Jays fans at most. Much different between stuffing the park for a long-planned weekend of baseball in June and doing so in October. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I got so caught up in doing other stuff I didn’t realize this is a day game. I think I’ll watch it. I usually get bored after a while if it’s not my team, but who knows. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I guess the Blue Jays do not intend to go gentle into that good night. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 The umpire is awful and gave George Springer a walk when there were two pitches that were obvious strikes that didn’t get called Quote

IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I honestly don’t care though. I don’t know why I should be upset. Quote
lordstanley Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Polanco does it again. Restores the Mariners' 3-run lead. Quote

oblong Posted October 13 Posted October 13 The Mariners didn’t offend me as a fan as those kinds of things go. I can’t explain it. Kind of like the Giants. Their players and fans don’t annoy me. 1 Quote

Their players and fans don’t annoy me. Yeah I often watch less after the Tigers are eliminated but find myself interested in this series because: a) while the Tigers' loss was heartbreaking it didn't feel unjust for an 87-win team that had blown the division lead, so I don't feel they got robbed or anything; b) Seattle is somewhat of a sister city of Vancouver, we go there a lot, I enjoy myself there and was treated well by the fans last week; c) Seattle's drought of never having made the World Series has gone on too long; and d) I can't cheer for a Toronto team, their fans just yap and yap and yap in the offseason.

IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Announcers giving it to the ump for extending that first inning for the M’s. Quote
IdahoBert Posted October 13 Posted October 13 It’s hard to look at the Blue Jays fans right now cause I know what that feels like Quote

Off topic, but I lived in Seattle from 1991-2000, and visited Vancouver, BC a couple times a year. My ex wife and I loved Stanley Park. Good memories! 1 Quote

My ex wife and I loved Stanley Park. Good memories! Nice! Vancouver does our waterfronts really well. Roughly 200 days per year I’m either running, cycling or walking in Stanley Park. I think our geography can’t be beat. Seattle has a stronger and more diverse economy, is still close enough to the great outdoors, and has a livelier city life, IMO. The two cities complement each other. 1 Quote
