As I noted in my last post, I had the great pleasure of doing color commentary for 3 Seattle Mariners games this week. I got to work with play by play man (and a friend of mine for 10 years) Rick Rizz. What a great guy. The Mariners are struggling, they mirror the Phillies in a lot of ways. Their offense struggles at times, but their pitchers are doing really well this year. They lack a real ace too, again like the Phils.
Ichiro was fun to watch. He has so many pre game and in game rituals, it's amazing. He's such a great hitter and player, that his teammates and everyone else for that matter should follow his stretching and excercise regiment. The clubhouse was great.
Here's a great article in the Seattle Times, it was fun to do:
