This season doesn’t promise much, but take this last night to imagine everything going right: Felix winning his second consecutive Cy Young; Pineda and Ackley the top two rookies in the league; Milton Bradley vanquishing his personal demons and leading the league in OPS again. I see a dream run to the top of the division and Felix shutting out the Yankees and Red Sox in the playoffs. Reality starts tomorrow at 7:00.

Hopefully, everyone’s seen or heard this by now, but I can’t think of a better way to start the season. Macklemore is also performing this at the home opener, which was the no-brainer move of the season that I didn’t think would happen.
Whatever the season brings, there will certainly be something missing. We miss you, Dave Niehaus.

Opening day at Safeco is as good as it gets and the M’s PR staff made a great call with inviting Macklemore to perform next week. The other move they ought to consider is pumping “fly, fly, away” over the speakers at Safeco every time a Mariner hits one out. This would be awesome.
That’s a good idea. Wouldn’t have to worry about it getting overused, either.
Good one. I’ll have you know that Jack Cust, Milton, Justin Smoak and Olivo are all going to hit over 20 home runs….
