HAPPY OPENING DAY! Ahhhh...isn't this what America is all about? Ideally?

It's hard to put too much stock into the first game in a 162 haul, but this is a big game for the M's. Felix needs to come out and impose his will in his first Opening Day start, and the M's need to show that they can actually score some runs against Haren and all other pitchers that the A's trot out against them this series.

The A's beat us soundly last season 17-2, and if it weren't for those games they quite likely wouldn't have won the division. The A's are a franchise that I ultimately despise but thoroughly respect...they humiliate the M's so often that, really, what other mindset can you have?

Beane is a genius who can out-GM Bavasi any day of the week, but I still hope the M's can scratch out a win today. Let everyone else in the AL West hand the A's the division this year...not us.

Can I watch this game somewhere on my cpu?

Hopefully the wiretap story is true......

I need to get extra innings.

I can't live without seeing the M's this year.....

I know, that sounds pathetic.

what wiretap story?

This is the only way i've been able to watch Mariners games from Florida.....

Now it's exclusive to Direct TV. Which I do not have.

whos going to the game?

Opening Day....start out with a clean slate, where even the most pessimistic of fans can have an optimistic view on where their team is going. If the M's lose again, and it's because the offense comes up sputtering, then it's going to cause some flashbacks of last years debacle against the A's...please M's, get some hits, score some runs, early!!

Felix with 2 K's in the 1st....good start.

Yup 5 K's after 3...Felix is lookin good, just give him some run support!

I can't believe he struck out Kendall twice...he's amazing!

Unfortunately, the offense doesn't look too great thus far

I shall taketh that comment back.

Felix 9 K's through 6 and only 2 hits, 1 BB allowed. This is his breakout season.

Yea, and Kendall is tough to strike out. One of the toughest K's in the MLB.

If any team has given the Mariners more fits than Oakland, I can't think of that team.

An opening day win (and series win) would be joyous.

Felix is a stud. The Mariners will have a shot in this division if he keeps this up. And of course if Sexson and Beltre actually show up this season.

well, the mariners arte starting well. felix already with 11 k and has struck out all but 1 athletic.

sexon with his 1st HR of the season, maybe hell hit another 45 of them!!!


how does felix look? will he be able to complete the game?

why didnt felix completed the game?

at least we know putz is kind of good to go.

Holy hell...I was in court all afternoon and just got out in time to listen to the ninth inning. Sounds like Felix was just dominant. Wow...

Nice to see Sexson come around. He wasn't very good during the spring, so I didn't know what to expect out of him come regular season time.

Felix was amazing... made us look like crap. Great game from him.

FELIX-O-METER: KKKKKKKKKKKK
