“This is it, 2013 is going to be our season!”

The fan clutched his season ticket book. He was excited. He got onto the Internet and typed.

“the m”s will take jeff bakers advice and sign mike born. then they will trade a young pitcher for justin upton because yuong pitchers do not aumont to anything! the mariners outfeld will be cool it will be the best outfeld”

April 2013 came.

The fan took his ticket to the ticket counter and said that he’d go to the baseball stadium every day and that he’d have lots of stories to tell his grandkids about how he saw Felix and Brendan and Carter and that the players had adventures on the diamond and that the Mariners were his trustworthy friend and he just knew they’d grow old together, the Mariners and him, they’d see his lows but also his successes and he’d see theirs.

Dustin Ackley did not hit the baseball and a lot of prospects learned that AAA can be hard. The Moose did a neat trick.

The fan felt down.
