Last night my loving wife took me to watch the A’s take on the Mariners. While the Mariners’ star has seemed to have faded, I still love to watch Ichiro bat. Not enough to see them beat the A’s mind you, but he’s always trouble on the bases. It seemed only fitting that he would have the last at bat, but Dotel got him, striking out the side in the top of the 9th inning to get the save.

Both Crosby and Chavez had home runs. Crosby continues to impress. I was a huge fan of Tejada, but I must say that Crosby is doing a terrific job, and is well deserving of the Rookie of the Year.

I took quite a few pictures, the one on the right being actually cropped out of this one.
