Yesterday honestly feels like a dream to me. I’m sure I’m not alone in that sentiment. A shutout victory in the first game of a best-of-three series where the Mariners never trailed? Wow. A legendary pitching performance by Luis Castillo, the THE premiere free agent of the deadline, who will also be a Mariner for years to come? Phenomenal. Another iconic, clutch home run by Cal Raleigh? Gimme the Beef Boy, free my soul (must credit former Modesto Nuts play-by-play ace Keaton Gillogly).
So here we are, one more victory away from playing in the ALDS for the first time in 21 years.
