M’s start the 09 season!

One of my favorite days of the year is Opening Day. I believe it is a holiday, but its a shame not many share this feeling haha. Seattle Mariners play the Minnesota Twins tonight, actually in like 30 minutes. Here are some things that I will say about tonight’s game:

Griffey will go 1-3 and an rbi. Brian Aaby and I talked last night about this but I still don’t think he can stretch one out in the Metrodome into a double. he’ll either hit it high enough to go out for a home run, or (what I think will happen) he will get a long single.

Felix will go 6 innings. Striking out no more than 5. Either a loss or a no decision.

Sweeney will have the best offensive night. He’ll go 2-3 with at least one rbi.

We will not see Morrow tonight, but we will see Kelley or Jakubauskas make their Major League debut.

Liriano is the key for the M’s tonight. If 2006 Liriano shows up ( 12-3 2.16 era and 144 strikeouts) its lights out. But if the Liriano since then (6-4 3.91 era in only 76 innings) *missing the entire 07 season* We have a shot.

Let’s go M’s! Peace out and stay sweet!
