Imagine within a 24 hour period your team is 0-2 and going back to Seattle. 

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.

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.

The umpire is awful and gave George Springer a walk when there were two pitches that were obvious strikes that didn’t get called

Cost the Mariners a run allowed and jacked up Gilbert's pitch count by 15.

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.

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.

I'm starting to think the Mariners might be good.

Tigers-Mariners was the real American League championship series, ha. 

We’ll get to claim that we were defeated by the best and only by a hair.

And sweeping a home and home in that other sport is a nice touch.

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!

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.
