You might have read the title of this article and assumed that I had written some sort of satirical Canadian apology to Seattle Mariner fans. I’ll admit, I considered that angle.
Instead, I’m choosing to use a sarcastic tone this time, and I’ll stand by my belief that somebody needs to invent a universally accepted sarcasm font. It would have been handy in this case when talking about the Blue Jays’ series with the Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle this weekend.
Over the last number of years it’s become a bit of a tradition for west coast Canadians to make the trip to Seattle when the Blue Jays are in town, and more often than not it’s referred to as a “Canadian Invasion”.
