Fly away

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Mariners (as I am every year) after the way they went to town on the A's yesterday. Ichiro transitioned smoothly to center field; 12 Ks for Felix; Sexson stepped up the way he needs to. Plus, it was only the second-ever Opening Day shutout M's win, the other being Game 1 of 1995 -- and look what happened that year.

A good way to start the season.

One down note: this year's crop of Mariner TV spots are terrible! Time to put Copacino+Fujikado on the hot seat.

You've thrown the ball at the head of Copacino like a true advertising pitcher, Mr. Grant.
