King Felix (1-0, 0.00) Matsuzaka (1-0, 1.29)
If you've got any friends or family who have yet to be indoctrinated into the King Felix religion, be sure to sit them down in front of a TV tonight so they can witness his incredible power for themselves. It may not work out as well as we want it to, but the chance is definitely there, and repeating his Opening Day performance today could make Felix an instant legend. Don't miss this. While a loss could be devastating, an impressive win might just turn out to be the high point of the season, and years from now we might all meet up and reflect on where we were the night that Felix dominated the Red Sox in their own dilapidated house on national television.
Thanks to the unparalleled generosity and awesomeness of phil333 - who I hear practically has to beat supermodels away with sticks - I'm going to be watching this one in person (observations and Win Expectancy stuff'll go up tomorrow after I'm back), so no one's hoping for a pleasant outcome more than me. Just know that, if the Mariners win, I'm going to be the happiest guy on the planet, and if the Mariners lose, I might end up going to jail for multiple homicide. Keep on your toes, Deanna, because as of ~7pm PDT tonight this blog may need a new main author for the next 20-to-life.
What I wouldn't give for a first-pitch Ichiro homer.

I want Great Felix today
Frankly, I hope he goes out and mows down every one of them, Ichiro blasts a home run, gets 3 singles and steals a few bases, and Beltre breaks out of his damn slump.
Lucky So-and-so
It is a great ball park to walk into...
I went to school out in Boston and I remember my first game at Fenway and it was amazing walking into it. But most of the seats aren't meant for anybody over 6ft and you are just cramped and uncomfy the whole game. The bleacher seats are a little better but still suck. Standing room tickets are alright, but way to expensive and you can't see flyballs. And if you get lucky enough to buy Monster tickets you have an amazing view of the game, but the bar stool type chairs suck to sit on for the whole game, then again, you don't really realize it cause you have this amazing view of the game.
If you do get lucky and get loge box seats(forgot the exact name) or better you will realy enjoy the game. But the price of them is too much to justify for an everyday expense.
I still won't forgot when I dropped 2k on Sox ticekts, that was a great baseball year.
I'm 6'5.

It sucks...
They are MUCH MUCH MUCH better then the seating right in front of hte SRO tickets.
I feel your pain.
...and at 5'7" I couldn't actually fit my legs in the legroom I had, and worried I was damaging my knees from keeping my legs tucked under my seat. Considering the stadium was built to host the high school tournaments in the first place it's not unsurprising, but godDAMN, I have no idea how they find 48,000 people crazy enough to want to sit in those seats every single game of the year.
If you guys went to Koshien, they probably wouldn't let you enter on account of "You must be THIS SHORT to enter the park".
No, just kidding.
I saw my first MLB game live
I should be joining you
I'm trying not to get too jazzed about Felix tonight. He's a young kid and this is Fenway after all. I'm just hoping he does what comes naturally to him. Because, really, normal unremarkable Felix is utterly awesome.
Better than jizzed hands.

What Do you hope for More...
I know that if Felix dominates we COULD win...but some part of me really wants Ichiro to silence those 40,000 Sox fans with a lead-off homerun.
After yesterday...Am I being greedy hoping for both to come true?

I want Felix to dominate Boston
In a perfect world, Dice-K and Felix would both be perfect through 9. Putz would get the win and Pineiro the loss somewhere in the 12th inning.
I'm so excited about this game.
by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Apr 11, 2007 8:05 AM PDT reply actions
Holy Jebus.
Alex Rodriguez has had 28 at-bats through the first 7 games. The Mariners have 120 at-bats through their first four games. Alex Rodriguez has twice as many homers (6 to 3), more extra base hits (9 to 8), the same amount of walks (5), and the same amount of RBIs (15) as the M's entire team. By himself.

I doubt anythign will happen
The one thing I always liked about Fenway is the fans know how to give somebody a good taunting without always getting into a fight. Of course you have the drunks who try to fight with elderly woman when they tell them to shutup.
I remember going to an A's game with my brother, his girlfriend and his girlfriends younger brother. Of course the younger brother was a A's fan wearing his Jersey and taunting all the sox fans. I was suprised on that day, we all didn't walk out of there covered in beer or in jail. Luckly most people around us were having a good time taunting him back.
In my experiences at Fenway...
In my (1) experience at Fenway
Not only did the M's beat the Sox, they did it behind Dave Fleming and his 50MPH 'curve' ball.
You know, Jeff
As a Sox fan...
A question for you Mariners fans...is there, by chance, a history of bad blood between you guys and Halos Heaven? Just wondering why it says Halos Heaven Sucks at the top of the screen.

I've been an M's fan since I was 9, and this game has all the signs that point to a cock-punch type moment.
The M's are all about big build-ups for bigger let downs.

I'm working from home today.
Jeff, come on, you know better than to try to murder anyone. That sort of stuff's reserved for the lowest of the low... and Ugueth Urbina.
The book event is probably no go
This will be the single most important...
It will eclipse the M's beating Anaheim to make the '95 playoffs, or their miraculous victory over baseball's evil empire the New York Yankees. It will be more exciting than both the Sonics and the Storm's world championship victories. It will be more dramatic than The Seahawks playoff run to the Superbowl.
The issue is whether the M's go above or below .500 in their 5th game of the season. At stake is whether Felix goes to 2-0 or 1-1 or possibly gets a no decision. This entire season will be decided by this game. Will the M's = laughing stock who cannot even rely on their "ace" or will the M's = contender who plan to ride their ace to 88 victories finishing 2 games behind Anaheim.
If the M's lose
This entire season will be decided by this game.
And perhaps the future of the Mariners in Seattle. After all, their current facility is quite obviously getting out of date, and if they don't get a new stadium at taxpayer expense, they'll have no choice but to move. To Oklahoma City.
Don't think it would be overstatement
Property values would collapse
Dick's would close.
The Viaduct would (finally) collapse.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MARINERS DON'T BLOW THIS! THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH AT STAKE!

And BTW, I strongly agree with the posts that have criticized the broadcasters on FSN. They make baseball boring as hell, and they should be replaced by commentators who give a crap about the game and are not afraid to criticize players, owners, managers, etc.

Heh
Because going 78-84 last year combined with a ridiculous improvement from your best starting pitcher means nowhere near .500, obviously. Why didn't I think of that?

Keep in mind I live on the east coast
its ridiculous.
Everyone I talk to is telling me the Angels are gonna finish with 100+ wins...I really don't think so.
People talk to me and try to tell me the mariners are gonna be worse than last year and have 100 losses...east coast people are stupid, can I live with one of you guys in the NW?
Its gonna be around 90 to finish 1st in this division, and if el Cartelua can keep pitching like this, we'll get there and compete.
