Time to Get Serious

Now that it is spring break, I can finally get down to business and get back to informing you all about my thoughts on spring training and our beloved Mariners.

In the week that was:

Tue @ Oak - L 9-6
Wed LAA - W 6-5
Thu @ Mil - W 5-2
Fri @ ChC - L 6-4

Just some quick notes worth mentioning about this week. King Felix went 4 decent innings against Milwaukee, giving up a moon shot to Ryan Braun and another homer to Rickie Weeks (wtf). But still he pitched well, which is more than we can say about Silva against Chicago. But to be honest I'm still going to back Silva even though we did grossly overpay for him. I think that a pitcher who lets hitters put it in play in the huge park that is Safeco is going to yield some surprisingly good results. Also, Ichiro is now 0-10. It is just so weird seeing him not hit. He took the Milwaukee game off again to work on his swing in the cages, so he should be fine.

I want you all to know that once I can actually start watching the games instead of just reading about them, this is going to get a lot more interesting. What I plan on doing is to give you all of the little nuances from every game that you won't hear about on Sportscenter or in the recaps. But until then, please keep reading for updates throughout the spring, as I will continue posting about how we are doing.
