Opening Day; Texas 2 Mariners 5

Opening Day has come and gone (side note, the countdown was suppossed to be untill the Mariners' Opening Day but something got screwed up) and the Mariners won 5-2.



Nice to see the rain hide out for a little bit. I still miss Arizona though. Pictures are coming soon.
