13 for my team...but Mariners report in 6 days!

Guess what fellas....

It's BASEBALL season!!

That's odd. Why are the Mariner's starting a week earlier than the rest of the league?

Oakland and Seattle open in Japan early again.

Ah, I see. The A's don't seem to think it's that big a deal.

Well it is not like the A's are playing for anything this season.

Unlike the Rox who seem to be trying to prove that you can go a whole season with an infield that's dependent on Geritol (well, except for Tulo).

A little more experience would have been nice, but what O'Dowd did is ridiculous.

espn (or was it mlb.com) did a story on the Mariners starting early because they have Japanese market.

Either way, seems like an unfair advantage for two young teams with lots of positional battles going on. They'll get to to start working earlier. And the games against each other aren't the important ones if one of them does decide to make a run.

Its not really fair to the Rangers and Angels.
