Seeing that wide shot of the stands made me wonder what the actual attendance is tonight. 20k? I didnâ€™t see anyone on the upper deck.

I was at the game and there’s no way there was 20k there. It was pretty sparse. Smallest crowd I’ve ever seen at a game I attended.

The Mariners had a chance to achieve history tonight with their 100 loss of the season, but instead, they choked this opportunity away and won the game.

Damn you, Mariners. Damn you.

I was there, in the upper deck, and had a fantastically relaxing time stretching my legs out over the row in front of me, and occupying basically an entire section with a friend.

But as relaxing as that was, I’d rather see a packed house for a playoff team.

Ugh. Oh well.

In this alternate universe Johjima goes 3 for 4 with a run and 3 RBI. Triple crown threat. Reed bats .500 and gets clutch hits. Betancourt goes 3 for 5 (but still doesn’t walk — this is an alternate universe, but not a bizarro one). And the M’s score 9 runs on the team with the best record in baseball. Meanwhile Ichiro is the guy who struggles at the plate, going just 1 for 5.

Vlad strikes out. Weâ€™ve obviously crossed into the alternative universe.

LOOKING, no less. The Angels are getting kickbacks from the Nationals.

M’s win! M’s win!

Actually, they played pretty well, and came back from deficits three times.

Darn it, the Mariners are gonna win.

Wait, did I just say that? Wow.

But at this point thereâ€™s just kind of a morbid fascination.

that’s just it.

Ending the season on a record losing streak is just plain not fun. Let them win one.

As to the crowd, a friend of mine was the catcher for the first pitch tonight, and wanted a small crowd in case she muffed it. So the fewer the witnesses the better.
