Enjoy the All-star Break

Certainly  look like fans of the

Mariners  and Seattle had a  

wonderful five days of bliss.

Julio had  the most appreciation 

from the fans. Not surprising

with his smile and personality.

Julio enjoys everything  he does

especially  play baseball.

The weather  was great for all

the ball players and everyone 

who came from out of town.

The city of Seattle  gave everyone 

a good time.  I  hope it means

another visit  before I  move on.

The National League won 3-2.

The drama was Julio came up

with a runner on base,however 

he ended up walking. It would

have made the crowd explode

if he had hit the game winning

home run or at least been able

to tie the game. It would have

been nice to go at least one

extra inning.  It was still early 

enough to do it.

It was nice to see George Kirby 

pitch an inning though he gave

up a run and Julio as well. Luis 

Castillo who was picked didn't 

pitch at all. He looked like was

having a good time  over the

time of the two days the Mariners 

we're back in town. I  thought it

would have been nice for him to

pitch to the last batter in the 9th

inning. The crowd would have

exploded before Julio came aboard.

I  expect Luis will start the opening

game after the  break  on Friday 

against the Tigers at home. Go M's.
