6-5

The Mariners are now 6-5 in games I've attended this year. I had fleeting visions of 7-4 until the 8th inning of Sunday's game when they were unable to score Jeremy Reed from 3rd with only 1 out followed by a complete meltdown by JJ Putz in the 9th. But I was able to witness an event I never in my wildest dreams could have ever imagined happening on Saturday: the not so fleet footed Kenji Johjima stole home.

On a completely unrelated topic, is there some sort of vast raccoon infestation that I'm unaware of? If not then the raccoon population is being decimated by area motorists. I don't know what's going on, but I swear that every mile there is another raccoon carcass on the side of the freeway. Poor little guys.
