Hello Mariner Fans;
We here at the newly re-constituted FanHome board for the A's extend a welcome after the Spring Training season, and hope we can repeat our relationship from last year. I think Blanton gets to throw against you guys in this first series. Just kidding.
How have the M's changed since last year? The A's have added a new skipper in long-time coach Bob Geren, Mike Piazza at DH, Shannon Stewart in LF, and rookie Travis Buck, from Washington of all places, gets his MLB debut today up in his home state.
What a great day for Buck, just announced as part of the roster yesterday at noon. Hear he had to scramble to get mucho comp tickets for interested family/friends up yonder, and it should make him feel very proud to have a contingent cheer him on when he first steps onto the field.
What is the weather like there today? Will the roof be open or closed?
I see where former M Gil Meche has held sway against Schilling and the ReddSux so far today, and it is 5-1 in the 6th. Meche still pitching and doing quite well in his KC debut.
I'll be checking in from time to time as work allows during today's season opener.
Good luck to both teams, and may the season begin with no further injuries!
Go A's!
Later,
RDB
