The Marathon Mariners Game

No pics. I'm having major camera trouble (it's definitely Hermy's fault, she pulled the cable out while the last of the Calgary pics were downloading, and my camera now says 'card not initialized' and that's all it will do.) So no pics. And I'm shopping for a new camera and looking for my manual to try to figure out the problem. I have major camera envy after seeing Mare's Cannon Elph camera in Calgary....

Dan had the firms' Ms tx today and we went with Mike & Megan. The game started at Kat's normal nap time, which she happily postponed. The Ms were down by one at the bottom of the ninth (and I was so confused that lots of people in front of us left....maybe they didn't get that the home team had last ups?). They tied it up and then in the 13th were behind by 3 again, which they tied up.

In the 15th, they had two men on base, no outs, the pitcher walked Ichiro (Kat's word of the day, BTW....IC..CHIR..O chanted over and over and over--when she wasn't yelling 'touchdown' every time that the crowd went wild) to load them up. Then a shallow pop to center that the fielder misjudged, and we could all go home! Kat did great, though she may have eaten frequently, raisins, oranges, blueberries, pizza, french fries, but she never melted down, though she was extremely busy moving about. She did pass out within minutes of being in the car, as expected.

From the Seattle Times: 'It also was the longest Major League game of the season, in innings and time. The 526-pitch marathon lasted 5 hours, 3 minutes.' The Ms went through 8 pitchers.
