My Oh My Mariners.....Sigh

They've lost 5 in a row. Did we jinx them by putting money down on playoff tickets?? Are they tired from playing so many days in a row, most of them on the road? Well they better buck up they've got quite a few more, including 3 with the blanking Yankees who just went ahead of them in the Wildcard standings.

Sigh.

Sigh.

Though I do think it is a bit unfair that they do have to play so many games in a row because the schedulers thought it would be a good idea to play in cold climates that don't have roofs in April. They are being penalized for poor planning and the lack of roofs at other stadiums.

We should sue.

Alienation of affection.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Irreconcilable weather conditions.

Sigh.

Cleveland today.

Toronto Tomorrow

New York on Monday.

A day off YEAH!! Sleep boys Sleep.

Then Detroit.

BASEBALL DISPLAY

Today I put up my annual baseball display at the library. Dare I say it looks good. I have so much fun doing these things and requesting the books to put up. I also made little Baseball Cards with books instead of players on them.

Here's the pictures.

Oh look it's time to go home, and watch the Mariners try to continue their amazing winning streak!!

So Miss Baseball has neglected to write anything about baseball, that seems a bit like false advertising doesn't it. Baseball's opening day is 2 weeks away. It looks like there will be a Sunday night game, but REAL opening day is the 1st Monday of April, and the 1st game is always in Cincinnati , this date should be a holiday, but alas it isn't nationally, in Cincinnati it is I don't know if it's an official holiday or just one that has endured. I was driving through Cincy on opening day back in '95 and everyone was celebrating the opening of baseball season. Providentially I was in Boston, for the 1st home game of the season for the Red Sox the game was about to start but since we only had 1 day in Boston we went site seeing, though it was fun just being around Fenway on opening day.

I had wanted to put a countdown to Opening Day on this blog but alas MLB wouldn't let me borrow it. Don't they realize the free advertising I could be giving them?? It doesn't seem that Borders or Scholastic minds me advertising the next Harry Potter book. Sigh. MLB has their head up their you know whats about so many things. I can't wait until they get a new commisioner that has vision, Mr. Selig sure doesn't.
