Pirates @ Mariners 6-25 and 6-26

[smokeyburgess]

Greetings again from Seattle. I see that Travis Snider (who hails from Kirkland) will be hosting a steak dinner for his teammates at his house in Kirkland while the Pirates are in town. Maybe I'll crash the party!

Looking forward to watching the Tuesday game on TV at a reasonable hour (7:10 Pacific) and then attending the afternoon game on Wednesday. That game could be a classic pitching duel, with The King going against Cole (will Nat be there?).

I'll be sitting among the Seattle hipsters a few rows behind home plate, eating clam chowder and quaffing a few Seattle microbrews. If you see an old guy with a long white beard and a brown Carhart hat, that'll probably be me.

As for the weather, it might be raining off and on (what's new?), but not enough to cancel the game.

You have an interesting baseball fandom listed there Smokey. VERY interesting. Nothing like having both coasts covered, with another team in the middle, just for good measure.

Have a great time at the game, and Go Felix!

There's your run support, Jeff Locke.

Looking good so far. Marte might hit for the cycle.

Welcome to Seattle Mariner baseball.

Usually Safeco Joe is better at home, but he has been hit or miss for most of the year. Let's hope Felix can get us the split tomorrow.

You Steeltown guys staying awake for this?

 

[Banned 10x]

I hope they are, they're destroying tonight.

but, it is the Mariners so temper your enthusiasm

Seattle certainly has the pitching advantage today. Gomez is even coming off the DL, I could see you guys returning the favor today.

 

[Paul Fizzle]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the most amazing baseball team I have ever seen

 

[Darkstone42]

Raise it yet again!

Some clutch hitting for the Bucs in the ninth there.

Another nice win. Love the fact that Mercer basically is the starting SS now.

Well the great news is this is the first time since '92 they have been 18 games over .500.

Wow a 7-2 road trip, even got Grilli a 4 day off stretch at the end for some icing on the cake

 

[stillmatic32]

Beautiful road trip.

Reds and cards both lose tonight too. Buccos tied for the best record in baseball.

thing of it is... that in a magical miracle season you can face an amazing pitcher like the king and still win.....All part of the magic and the mystery
