Game of the year?

[Moose Milligan]

Tied at zero headed into extras, Kirby pitched a gem...Mullins stealing 3rd, Mounty with a burning single up the middle....Felix with a two inning win.

Wow.  Just wow.

A lot of credit belongs to Irvin.  With the way Seattle has owned him in the past, and how they have been swinging the bats lately, his 5 shutout innings were huge.

Avoided the sweep

We stole that one.

We’re going to win the series tomorrow.  Also, this is the game of the year.

Shame that I was asleep got the first 7 innings of the game of the year

My vote is for the Santander walk-off against the Skanks.

I wouldn't have bet a plug nickel on their chances in this one with the way Kirby was pitching. That's as good a game as I've seen pitched in a while. He had everything going but they still managed it. A special club we have here.

I had to shout at my wife dozing on the couch to wake her up for the 10th. 
 

“Hon, you may wanna see this!”

Yes, and for morale, the timing was huge.

Humbled by the Astros at home, then dominated by M's and Castillo in game 1.

Mariners riding an 8-game W streak into the Wild Card mix.

Tampa winning and creeping up on O's division lead.

Irvin stepping up, Cano and Bautista holding up to nail it. Bodes well for the 6-man rotation.

Another series to add to the unswept streak.

It was a statement game to say, we're not going away.

Looking forward to see if this win at least keeps them on keel for rest of the road trip, or lifts them past this rocky patch.

It was a good win by a great team. But I’ll always prefer blowing the doors off the Yankees, and in the Bronx no less.

I don't know if this takes some of the wind out of the Mariners sails but I sure hope so.

Why doesn t someone with much more skill and intelligence make a list of maybe five games that have something about them amazing.  Put them up for a vote.   I would rank off hand the Yankee tony homer and this game tonight.  We should figure it out.

You know, I read several remarks to that effect in the game thread, but it’s not like the Mariners were hitting the snot out of the ball.  It was a great pitchers’ duel and it was a matter of which team would find a way to eke our a run.  We did, and they didn’t.   We have Felix, and they don’t.

Bautista is a K machine, and that is a huge advantage in the free runner in extras era. But we definitely shoplifted that game.  That’s what makes it a good win!  Schadenfreude.
