Ooh, private suite, eh?

Wave at us peons in the 300 section behind third base. I'll be the short one wearing jeans and a white Angels hat.

Go Mariners!

I'm sorry, Sandy. By the time you posted this we were already at the stadium. Having no idea what to expect, we went early -- as it turned out, really really early.

But that's okay. We got to explore the place (as much as the goodwife was able to walk; we pushed the limits a bit). The suite (located right on the right-field foul line) was very nice and they took good care of us; for approx $100/head I guess they should!)

But far more than that the goodwife saw her first major league game live, and I got to erase the horrible memory of the (home) Detroit Tigers game of... 1963? (3 boring hours on the road to get to Tiger Stadium, X hours of boring no-hitter? game, 3 more boring hours drive home.)

This was MUCH more fun -- and my little point-n-shoot camera worked far better once they decided, pre-game, they could remove the retractable roof.

And for me... this game was a lot of fun to watch, even if it seemed to slide by rather quickly after the early Mariner wins. Ichiro seemed a bit off his game (by reputation), but the Mariners had some really great pitching with a dramatic ending by J.J. Putz -- I think we'll be taking in more games in the future.

But I'm still a Scot; look for me in the cheap seats when somebody else isn't buying.
