Two days ago, a few of you were threatening to jump off the Veterans Memorial Bridge, east of town, after Seattle lost a one-hitter to Texas in the opening game of the season. The Mariners have bounced back to win the next 2 games, including a 9-5 victory today, scoring 4 runs in the 9th. Robinson Cano has hit 4 HRs in 3 games. So put away the glum faces and realize that a Major League Baseball season is a marathon, not a spring.
