Mariners go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect win over Astros
Watching the ninth and tenth innings Photo by Leslie Plaza Johnson/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesI had a really fun ‘lil recap theme set for tonight’s game. Fun by my estimation anyway. You all could have been the judges of that, but instead the Mariners thought they’d have some fun of their own by shuffling to the end of the tightrope and taking one final, playful leap to reach the other side. Instead, with just inches to go, their foot slipped while jumping and rather than propelling themselves to safety, they went flailing off the side and splashed into the Tequila Sunrise-colored waters below.
