The Seattle Mariners clawed out a gritty 5-4 victory against the Colorado Rockies tonight, snatching a win on the road as this wild season winds down to its final week. With exactly seven games left, every single moment counts, even if the scoreboard hasn’t always been pretty.
Grabbing a Win, Any Win
Let’s be real, Emerald City, wins haven’t exactly been coming easy this year, so grabbing a 5-4 nail-biter on the road against the Rockies? You bet we’ll take it! It’s late September baseball, where every single out feels like a battle, and the boys found a way to come out on top. It definitely makes trying to “enjoy these last seven games” a little easier when we’re playing the Rockies, especially before the Houston Astros roll into T-Mobile Park. We gotta savor these moments, even the tough ones, before the offseason hits.
The Clock’s Ticking, What Happens Next?
Man, it’s been a tough season. I’m not gonna lie, I won’t be sad to see this particular run come to a close. But at the same time, putting baseball away for another year? That’s always a gut punch, especially when a potential lockout is looming over the league. Who even knows when we’ll hear ‘Play Ball!’ again? That’s why I’m trying my hardest to just soak in every pitch of these last seven games, no matter what. You gotta appreciate what you have, right, before it’s gone for good.
