Geno Suarez hits a Grand Slam to put the Mariners up 6-2 and seal Game 5 of the ALCS!

"The City is Shaking!"

#SeizeTheMoment

EXTREMELY PLEASED TO FIND OUT THAT WE HIT A GRAND SLAM RIGHT AFTER I PUT MY PHONE ON AIRPLANE MODE!!!!!

About to take off on a quick flight to Spokane. Please please win, Mariners. I clearly didn’t bring us luck at yesterday’s game. So maybe if I can’t watch, it will be better.

We have tickets to game 4. Which could be the series winning game. Where the Mariners could punch their ticket to their first ever World Series. Ever. I know these words are true but I am still in disbelief.

OMG OMG OMG OMG GOMS

Jorge Polanco with the 15th walk-off hit in a winner-take-all game in postseason history

17th walk-off win in a winner-take-all game overall

INCREDIBLY … the only other ALDS winner-take-all walk-off win?

Edgar’s double

BASEBALL!!!

Took George to two games this series. Jorge hit two homers at the first one. Jorge hits the walk off at the second. It’s the George-Jorge connection.

Mariners: ALCS bound.
Michelle: ALCS game 4 bound.

Being a Seattle sports fan is a fucking ride, that’s for sure.

GEORGE IS CORRECT!!!!!!! GOMSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I can’t tell if I’m a cool mom or a completely irresponsible mom. Are those the same thing?

SAME BUT ITS 10PM

George predicts that this is the inning that we will win (the 15th).

Did I drive all the way to the stadium and back to get my husband and kid 45 mins ago? Yes, yes I did. Is game still going? Yes, yes it is. Is my two year old still wide awake? Yes, yes he is. 🫠

George and Kurtis got a last min ticket to the game. Hoping they are good luck. I’ll be drinking wine with a friend and nervously checking scores. 🥴

GOMS

You can come back in.

STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Why do the Mariners need to do this to us? Why.

What a legend.

It’s been a hell of a 24 hours for me. Witnessed the first M’s home playoff win in decades last night. Today, advocated for myself and actually asked for what I needed at work and now I have four weeks of leave at the end of the year. That I DESPERATELY needed.

Elizabeth Taylor and CANCELLED! are for the rep girlies, that’s for sure.

Crows are super smart and recognize faces of friends and enemies! A ton of research on them was done at UW and they can actually pass the facial recognition to their offspring. So don’t make enemies with a crow or you will be forever remembered!!

GIRL NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’m so so sorry.

Lab mice used in experiments are genetically identical and easy to manipulate (e.g. you can control diet, treatment compliance, etc). They are model organisms of a best case scenario. Human biology and behavior is decidedly NOT best case scenario. Greed aside, this is just an uninformed take.

If it takes that long to make a decision, it’s not clear and obvious, now is it?

Diego Fagundez’ bald spot makes me feel exceptionally old.

And yes, my sick leave does allow for taking care of sick dependents so like… you’re asking me to work when I’ve said I have a very sick child who I was up with until 4:30am. This person is also a fucking pediatrician. I do not understand the lack of empathy.

George has hand foot and mouth for the second time in two months. The first time was a breeze and I felt lucky we got through it so easily. This time is 1000x worse and I was up with him until 4:30am. Let my boss know I need to be out and she asks if I can still meet virtually. I need a new job.
