We spent last evening watching the Seattle Mariners play the Oakland A's. Boy, can that Ichiro hit. The high point of the game -- bottom of the 7th with 2 outs, Oakland was ahead 3-0, Mariners had the bases loaded, it was Carlos Guillen's chance to be a hero. Alas, he struck out. The game ended 3-0. Still, we had a fabulous time, enjoying the game from the owner's box. It was a benefit event for Boalt Hall School of Law, my wife's alma mater. Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln is a Boalt alumnus and he hosted us in style. Trust me on this, there is no better way to see a ballgame than from the owner's box. Come to think of it, watching from the dugout might be kind of fun too, but I wouldn't know.

I will now waste no more time, nor money, on a game where the "athletes" choose to inject their bodies with drugs for enhanced "abilities" on the field. Not to mention them striking everytime they feel the need for a "raise"! Baseball in general, and the players particular, can kiss my American "dark star"!
