Who is Chris Miller, you ask? Chris is a good friend of mine that went to the game with me tonight (my girlfriend, Cheryl, and my buddy Kelly also came). However, the last time Chris went to a game with me, the M's also won in extra innings (Boonie's walk-off grand slam, last August against the Red Sox!). I better start bringing Chris to more games...

The M's can thank Bobby Crosby for the win tonight. Way to drop the ball on the possible game-ending double play, kid. **Update** My friend, Conor (yes, I have a friend named Conor), saw the play on TV and said that Crosby got hit in the nuts with that ball thrown to him. Certainly not his finest moment...

If you want a game re-cap, check out Lookout Landing. They do an awesome job over there. The Mariners are frustrating to watch and follow sometimes, but we're really lucky that we have some awesome blogs to read! Anyway, here are 10 things about tonight's game...

1) I should have taken my glove. I got robbed trying to get two batting-practice balls by guys with gloves. (And like Skee-Lo, "I wish I was a little bit taller...")

2) Ryan Franklin may suck at pitching, but it's fun to watch him shag balls during batting practice. He's really good at catching them behind his back.

3) Bobby Kielty and Eric Byrnes were having a good time before the game. They had one of those baseballs with the built-in radar gun, and they were pitching it back and forth to each other and comparing speeds. From what I could hear, they were high 80s to low 90s. Ricardo Rincon and Nick Swisher were also fooling around with it.

4) I got my picture taken with Rich Harden, using my new Sidekick II. Man, that thing rules!

5) Speaking of my Sidekick II, just as I got done checking out the last time Zito tossed a shutout, Richie Sexson stepped up and golfed a fastball over the centerfield fence. Sexson had a great game, going 3-6 with the HR and the game-winning RBI.

6) Ichiro is so fun to watch! I feel very fortunate to be able to watch that guy on a daily basis. He didn't have any hits, but made two great catches.

7) Boonie's catch with the infield playing in was sweeeeeeeet!

8) Ditto on the comebacker to Villone!

9) Why the hell did Hargrove put Matt Thornton into a tie game? Did he owe Ken Macha a favor or something? I think he'll clear waivers, and if he doesn't...would anyone really care?

10) Most Seattle fans are lame. In the 12th inning, Guardado was on the mound with 2 outs and 2 strikes on somebody, so I stood up and was cheering for him. Do other people stand up and cheer? No, the place was mostly silent. I could hear the lady 5 rows behind me saying, "Down in front!" That's pathetic and, needless to say, I turned around and said, "Screw you! Why don't you stand up?"
