FELIX! I love him so!
I went to the Mariners game yesterday and here's what Felix did: Gave up a hit and two walks in the fourth. Innings 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8? Retired to the Twins in order. And he made it look so easy that I didn't even fully realize what a great game he had until it was over. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I'm going to try to go to all of his home starts this year. If you're a baseball fan and you can watch the games he pitches, DO IT.
Oh, and the Mariners scored seven runs. They're doing better at giving Felix run support this year!
So every Felix home start has a "King's Court," which is Felix's special cheering section. You get a shirt and a yellow K card to hold up for strikeouts. And they pass around a turkey leg. I haven't sat there yet, but I think I'm going to ask my sister for tickets for my birthday.
My sister (who goes to nearly all home games) stands out in the "Pen", which is the area next to the bullpen out in center field. So I stood there with her and all of her friends. It was fun! I think you miss a little more of the game, but it's also more fun in some ways. It gets pretty crowded, but they have "Girls Corner" staked out in the front, so it didn't FEEL crowded.
My sister (Krista), who was drinking beer, GASP!
I just found this funny. Jesus Montero came out and stretched allllll by himself for probably half an hour! No one else! Just him! We yelled "Jesus!" when he came out and I think we freaked him out because he kept looking over at us. Get used to it! (He did wave at us, though!)
DINNER! A strawberry crepe. Good, but sooooo messy I'm not sure I'll buy another one, lol.
FELIX! He was much cooler about acknowledging it when we yelled his name.
Everyone's stuff in a pile! I thought that was a good system. Just stash it all at our feet and not worry about it.
This is how close we were to the bullpen. We yelled "Go Preds!" for Shawn Kelley, who just got called back up. He looked kind of shocked/confused at first, but then fistbumped or did something anyway that acknowledged his appreciation. (Preds=Predators, his favorite hockey team.)
View from where we were standing!
This was cute! It was Kids Appreciation Day, so they had kid moose to go along with the Mariner Moose!
Me and my sister! And behind us one of her friends who works at the game.
Krista and her Kyle Seager jersey! I think this was after he hit his home run, but it might've been after his 2 run single.
Mariners win!
Weird . . . thing near the ballpark.
The supermoon, which doesn't look so super with an iPod camera.
I was thinking about trying to go to the game tomorrow to see Doug Fister, but I'm not sure I'll have enough energy. I was wiped out this afternoon and I work 8-3 tomorrow.
