Last night I was part of a group of 15 people for the Twins-Mariners game at Safeco Field in Seattle. The last place Mariners were victorious in knocking the Twins a full game behind the White Sox in the AL Central. It was a very exciting game, with the lead changing 3 times, twice in the eighth inning. The Twins went up by 2 in the 2nd on a wild pitch and sac fly. Seattle took the lead with a 4-spot in the 3rd, then extended their lead to 6-3 in the 6th. It looked like things were beginning to unravel for the Mariners in the 8th when the Twins scored 4 times to take a 7-6 lead. But the M's were able to make their own comeback in the home half of the inning, spoiling yet another game for Mark, who is here with Debbie from Minneapolis visiting.
The Twins blew a 6-0 lead in Monday night's game, losing 11-6. Raul Ibanez had a team record 6 RBI's in that game, and added 5 more last night. Today's game saw the Twins winning 7-3 to salvage a win in the series.
If you're ever thinking of going to a Mariner's game (or Seahawks even) and you're in the South Sound take the bus from Tacoma. You can take Sound Transit from Tacoma Dome Station and they drop you off 2 blocks from the stadium complex. It's $3 a person each way and you don't have to worry about traffic except crossing the streets.
