This? This is a look the Mariners have had most of the season. (John Fisken photos)
Robinson Cano nimbly evades the tag.
“I call this the high, hard cheese and it tastes like a strikeout, baby!!”
Steven Baron, one of the promising young players getting a chance to shine at the end of a forgettable M’s season.
The legacy of arguably the greatest Mariner of all time shines proudly at Safeco.
Ketel Marte gets doubled off first to end any comeback hopes.
21,840 folks showed up Safeco Field Sunday to watch the Mariners stumble to another loss in a fairly forgettable season.
As a guy who somehow ended up being a life-long Pittsburgh Pirates fan (despite living all 44 years of my life in Washington state), I, however, was busy riding the buzz of an 11th inning come-from-behind win.
After watching the Pirates set a North American sports record by racking up 20 consecutive losing seasons, the last three years of success have been a non-stop joy ride.
So, to long-suffering M’s fans, better days are ahead.
Maybe not for two decades, but some day…
Until then, you can bask in these hot ‘n toasty pics fresh from the camera of travelin’ photo god John Fisken.
Having escaped the Whidbey prep sports beat he (and his free parking pass) were up in the big leagues Sunday.
Well, if you can call the Mariners a big league team…
I kid. I kid. Enjoy the photos and dream of better days ahead.
