Open Thread: Game 3 - Oakland Athletics vs. Seattle Mariners

A's Earn First Win; Beat Seattle 6-2

For baseball-starved A's fans who have had to endure the first 18 innings of the 2013 season (none of them exactly awesome), the first inning of this game played like a Groundhog Day nightmare. Tommy Milone started out his night with a home run, and two batters later; another home run. Down 2-0 early, the A's got a double from Jed Lowrie in the first inning (Spoiler alert: It would be his third best hit on the day), but nothing else, and the slightest bit of panic, subdued by frustration and boredom, would start to set in.

The A's must win tonight in order to try to split the series tomorrow, as we welcome in Game 3 of the season. It doesn't feel like much baseball has been played; in part because the A's consider a walk the extent of any rally they have put together this season.
