2006 MARINERS GAME RECAP ARCHIVE
Another year, another archive. It's the third straight year in which I've done some sort of game pieces for as many games as I could possibly do them. In 2004, I had to go to Oregon to finish out the final course of my college curriculum, a six-week geology field course. In 2005, I had to move from Bremerton to Hawaii to end my unemployment, and I was without an internet connection for a few weeks as I settled in and found a place. In 2006, I have no idea what's going to happen. Just that I'll be cranking these out as much as I possibly can because, dang it, I like doing it, and I like knowing that I can refer back to it and anyone out there can refer back to it.
Needless to say, we're all hoping 2006 is a better year than 2005, which was a better year than 2004. We're hoping to get closer to 2003. I'm not thinking playoff spot this year, but if meaningful baseball can happen after the All-Star break, then that's good.
Here's to the season...

Nine games better than last season. Let's hope for meaningful baseball in September next year. It'd be cool. There have been improvements.
Needless to say, we're all hoping 2006 is a better year than 2005, which was a better year than 2004. We're hoping to get closer to 2003. I'm not thinking playoff spot this year, but if meaningful baseball can happen after the All-Star break, then that's good.
Here's to the season...
