Opening Day festivities, game, catastrophy

Opening Day 2011....a day long awaited by Anthony.  Larry and Anthony went to the game.  
Unfortunately the Mariners pre-game festivities blew smoke up the a$$ of the fans.  The reason, the team sucks.  They could get better, but not likely this year.

Felix was happy during pre-game introductions but that was only because he didn't have to pitch today.  

Safeco Field did have fireworks in left field.  So that was the coolest thing of the night.

The awards from last year were given out.  Frankie G got a gold glove but couldn't be in attendance as he has IBS and his tummy hurts.

Watch out, Ichiro almost kissed Edgar (It's a Light Bat) Martinez.  Ichiro passed Edgar for all time hits leader for the M's and the framed picture was a memento.

Felix got the Cy Young Award which was very cool.  He was quite happy to say the least.  

The Mariners very classily honored Dave Niehaus.  

Part of 1st Ave South was renamed in his honor.  

This is a picture from our new seats.  Sick for sure!  And they are closer to the parking spot.  Gotta like that.  

So Larry and Anth went to get dinner before the top of the 4th.  Oops, that didn't work so well.  The Indians scored 10 runs in one inning and obviously the M's had no chance to come back.  They left before the game was over....thousands left much, much earlier!  Just another year for Seattle sports!
