Fired Up

At Ichiro's first at-bat, he was called out on a dubious "foul-tip" that the ump said was caught by the catcher.

McLaren, the Mariners' Manager (say that 5 times fast) stormed out and completely got in the face of the umps and got tossed, only 1 batter into the game.

See that clump of three guys at third base? He's doing the whole "scream-in-your-face" thing that managers do, which I haven't seen live before. I mean, you gotta get your guys all riled up for the big game, but in this case it didnt work.

After eating my final donut, because I couldn't NOT eat it (it was a special baseball donut with strawberry kreme) the Mariners lost 6-0. Not a great start to the series.

We made it home pretty quickly, and that was the night.
