One for the road Posted by Geoff Baker - 5/14, 09:46 PM

Very sorry for how long it's taken me to post about the game. I've had a very tight work schedule today and am now back in Seattle, believe it or not, after covering today's game. I had a feature-length story I had to basically write this afternoon as well as the game story. Not to mention a flight out of Texas that left at 6:40 p.m. local time. When the 4-3 win by the Mariners over the Texas Rangers went 12 innings and finished just before 5 p.m., it naturally had me scurrying. We don't get in to the clubhouse until 10 minutes after the game ends, so I had to scramble for some interviews, run upstairs, and finish writing the game story.
