Swept

My hubby snapped this photo on our way out of Safeco Field Wednesday. Yikes -- Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched a gem and we were still swept.

One thing I noticed at the park yesterday is that Seattle Mariners fans are developing a strong animosity for Red Sox fans. Since the M's don't have a close local rival, fans are not used to having Safeco inundated by fans of the visiting team. When I moved here four years ago, there were plenty of Red Sox fans, but Mariners' fans didn't hate us. It wasn't unusual to get a consoling pat on the back by a Mariners' fan after their team beat the Sox. Yesterday I had multiple brooms stuck in my face and I heard things like "Go home Red Sox fans, get out of our city!" Times are changing I guess.

Ahh...I feel like a kid in a candy store out here in Seattle. The Red Sox are in town! Pacific Northwest Red Sox fans living quietly amongst us will emerge. The Sox will be on HD TV screens in all the local bars and there will certainly be sitings of Rem Dawg tossing a fish or two at the Pike Place Fish Market.

The sun is shining and the Safeco Field roof is open...Let's Go Sox!
