- This is probably the only time all year 'm going to care about the Mariners and the As. Sometimes I don't know who I'm going to cheer for in a (non-Jays) game until I start watching, and today I immediately started cheering for the Mariners. I actually thought to myself, 'Maybe I'll just cheer for the Mariners all year!' This is a good entry point to baseball this year, otherwise the excitement curve heading into the Jays' opening day next Thursday would be too steep, and I'd flip over on my back like a turtle trying to climb a wall.
