susandennisFirst off, the Mariners. In last night's game, they were brilliant and then they sucked and then they were beyond brilliant. All in 9 innings. Whew. As they do every year, they have started off this year with the same hopes "This is a great team. This is a team that will make it to the playoffs. This particular team is special." Every year they say that. But this year, they might be right.
The Mariners have been to the playoffs less than a handful of times and never made it past the first round. They are the only team in the major leagues that has never once played in the World Series.
BUT there is a lot of season yet to play. So far, however, they are, indeed, promising. Even with one of their best players, two pitchers, the manager and vice-manager all missing having tested positive for COVID.
Today's game is at 1.
Before that, I have a date with Amazon. Since they started carrying my preferred Diet Dr. Pepper vessels (16 oz bottles), I've grown fond of having them deliver them to my door as opposed to my schlepping them up steps and elevator from the car. So I'm laying in a supply this morning - 10-noon delivery. They leave the stuff just outside my door. So handy. Plus now Amazon Fresh carries frozen breaded okra and zucchini fries which no one else here does. So score!
Otherwise just a regular day. I have two Jeopardy episodes recorded and not watched so there a chance, slim because I hate it so but still a chance, that I'll get on the treadmill and watch one of them. Maybe.
"Look at the camera" is ignored when there are birds to watch.
