For the few who read this blog, just wanted you to know that we saw a win today in the Mariners home opener.Young Felix Hernandez, only 20, pitched a gem. Not only did he toss a shut-out, but he also struck out 12 A’s. Sports wags are saying no younger opening game starter has done that since the Cardinals’ fire-balling Bob Gibson did it back in the 1960s.
Throwing consistently in the mid-to-upper-nineties, he’d then use his change-up curve or 85 mph slider to get hitters out throughout the game.
The game was a gem to watch. All of the M’s runs were unearned due to a Bobby Crosby error in the 6th inning, and slugger Richie Sexson (pictured) got his first dinger of the year, a 3-run shot to deep center field.
Oh yeah, I got one of those great new "swoosh" M's caps today.
Now, it's only 161 to go.

Oh how the support change! Mariners? "Swoosh" caps?
Of course knowing what a great "hat collector" some of us are I will be anticipating the near arrival of my own "swoosh" hat!!!!!!!
May all of Bonds "shots" be 20 feet short of the wall or in his "butt"!!!!
Tsk. Tsk. That's not antagonism I sense, is it? One can admire the talent without having to love the person.
