Top 50 Mariner Moments, 2007: #31

May 4th: A bases loaded groundball single for Raul Ibanez caps off an eight-run fifth inning in the Bronx.

----------

This is another one of those situations where I don't have time to provide any commentary. Fortunately, this is also the first Top 50 moment that I didn't get to watch live, so I suppose that's a happy coincidence. I couldn't find the game on TV until it was 5-0 Yankees, and I had to go to a meeting when it was 6-3, so you can imagine my surprise upon stumbling back into my room an hour later to find the M's on top 14-8. The best part? While you'd think that missing an eight-run inning would ruin my day, I still got to watch what amounted to a thrilling conclusion. The Yankees were a lot of things last year, but they certainly weren't dull.

I don't remember this game at all.

One thing

I remember about this game was that it was exactly the opposite of the Red Sox game the day (or two) before. Strange to lose a game blowing a 5-0 then come back and win a game while being down 0-5.

Baek

I remember the many unsmiling faces of Beak and how much Igawa sucked.

We certainly are a over reactive bunch

That was an interesting game.

I was on a night out during the game [due to time difference] and was suitably smashed. I remember checking my phone for the scores and being shocked to see it something stupid like 14-8. I managed to get home just in time for the last two innings [where we almost threw the lead away I seem to recall].

And to think, I could have chosen to support the Yankees or Red Sox...
