They put a pretty good whooping on us the first time we played them. So we'd like to return the favor.

After the first five minutes, I thought we locked in pretty good and played some pretty good defense.

We played pretty well. We had a very good first half, so I was pleased.

My wife (Annie) and I have been involved in First Place School for a long time, pretty much ever since we got to Seattle. That was the first (charitable) thing we did. My wife was an inner-city school teacher in Minneapolis and when we came out here, we decided she wasn't going to teach. She wanted to get involved in the community in some way. We asked the Mariners and they pointed us in that direction. It has been a great relationship since, a great fit, and we have enjoyed it.

Whenever you have the creator pulling your card and saying they want you to be a part of it, you're in a pretty good position.

I had a pretty good shot of adrenaline working at that time, and all I wanted to do was to get on the boat and get somewhere where I was on a boat bigger than what the shark was.
