Mariners' opening weekend brings feelings of enthusiasm, expectation, and JOY!
It’s Opening Day at T-Mobile Park.
In just hours, Mariners fans will be back in the stands, ready to cheer on the team as they look to improve on last year’s record-breaking playoff run. The M’s won the AL West, but fell agonizingly short of the World Series…
It’s an interesting feeling, being a Mariners fan right now. First of all, our nachos float in a souvenir ferry boat container.
SECONDLY, our expectations are really high! Gone are the days of the tried and true “well, hopefully we’ll make the playoffs.”
NOW, the faithful are expecting greatness, we’ve SEEN how good this team can be, and we’re ready for more…
Here to either temper our expectations -or- bolster our enthusiasm, maybe even make us a bit delusional, is editor-in-chief of Lookout Landing
