Do not be careful with your hope
From our wildest dreams, we have Game 7 for the first time.

I threw 140 pitches in my final college baseball game. I hope with all my heart there is another Mariners game this week I’ll need to summon the words for.
If there’s not, well, I hope you can feel every pitch I wrote in this one. www.lookoutlanding.com/editorial/13...

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Like all good propaganda there is a kernel of truth in that Seattle really has struggled with homelessness, but not because of what they suggest. We’ve been one of the fastest growing cities in the country for over a decade and our housing supply and services haven’t scaled with that

But Cal Raleigh was worthier. He game-planned each start, called every pitch, had an impact on each game dwarfing Judge & all other non-catchers.
