Well I ended up scoring some tickets to the Seattle Mariners game on Tuesday night when they won their 6th game in a row (now 7 since they won again last night) and the seats were DAMN good.

As you can see the view was great. But the thing that really makes this good is, I have now seen the Toronto Blue Jays lose 3 times in 3 different places and the Mariners win twice both Away and at home. The game was pretty good, got to see someone get a bat to the head in the crowd (not funny but kind of). The stadium i had a tour through last year on my big trip (funnier thing is that I was at the baseball the exact same day last year but in San Francisco… freaky.. new tradition?). There was the usual crap food options at the stadium, however there was some phenomenally good options as well.
There was sushi, thai stir frys (or at least what passes for it over here), Starbucks Espresso and my favourite from the night some fresh grilled Yukon Salmon from Ivars. It was $12 which felt like a gouge to start with, but it was a MASSIVE hunk of salmon served with a pretty good ceasar salad. I couldnt complain cause the amount of salmon I got would probably cost about that outside in some restaurants so I didn’t feel all that gouged. However $4.50 for a soda… yeah thats BS.
It was good to hit up my first Baseball game in Seattle, Football will be happening soon with the season starting this month for Pre Season (first game not scheduled till October). But I have had so much achieved in the first 3 months of my stay here! crazy++
