My Oh My

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.

R.I.P. Dave Niehaus

Dave Niehaus just passed away from a heart attack today in his home.  The longtime Mariner announcer was relatively young, 75, and seemed to have every intention of coming back year after year to be the voice of the Mariners.  The Mariners have changed managers, players, and front office officials many times over their 33 year history but Dave was the mainstay.

Sometime soon, we’ll look back at our memories of this hall-of-famer but for now we offer up our thoughts and prayers to his family.  Dave was the best of the best in the announcing booth and seemed to be the same way as a man.  You’ll be missed, Mr. Niehaus.  Seattle has suffered some bad days in sports lately, but today is more than sports.  Thank you for everything, Dave.
