How 'Bout That Richie Sexson?

First pitch as a Mariner, and he whaps it out of the park. Second at-bat, he flips it over the center-field fence, just to prove the first one wasn't a fluke. Guess you get what you pay for, at least for today, so thanks to the Ms for putting up the bucks for once. And a shout out to Ichiro and Jamie for proving that there's more good to this team than the new kids on the block, happy as we are to see them.

There's a long season ahead and plenty of worries coming off of last year's dismal performance, but right now things are looking mighty fine from the cheap seats.

It's Opening Day, and life is good.
