I'm opening these game threads earlier because people actually want to talk about the Mariners now. For a while I think we all tried to trick ourselves, or we rooted for postponements, or whatever. I put up a game thread only because there had to be a place for people to openly complain for three hours. Now there is interest! It's pleasant to be actually interested in the team in which we claim to be interested.
