We move forward. Chaos ball reigns supreme.

Btw we just witnessed the best game in Mariners history. I don’t think it’s a discussion. That was a historic comeback that will live for ages.

I can think of 2 better, the 95 playoff clincher and the ALDS clincher. Those ruled. This is up there with them. If only it had been at home.

That's awesome. The most memorable games I saw in person were probably "Turn Forward the Clock Night" and one of the games during Griffey's 8-game homer streak (I think the last one?).
Also a brawl with the Tigers.

Well, Super Bowl 49 was after or before the Seahawks win? I haven’t seen a football game in 24 years. I suppose I could Google though.
That’s awesome. I was at one of the 8-game streak games as well. I feel like it was important, so possibly also the last one. Also managed to see two 1-hitters (I believe Randy Johnson, the one f***ing Ken Phelps hit the only hit, a home run, for the A’s with 1 out in the 9th) and I think Brian Holman or Erik Hanson.
I also went to Nolan Ryan’s last game, which of course, was in Seattle.
The Sojo moment was easily the best I’ve seen in person though. I used to get to about 10-20 games a year with my dad as a kid.
What was the Turn Forward the Clock night?
OK, I also saw Johnson pitch a 1-hitter against the A's, so I wonder if it was actually the same game too.
Although probably not -- this was Mike Gallego hitting a single in the 9th to end it.Actually it turns out I misphrased it – it was "Turn Ahead the Clock Night" — it was the first of what a lot of teams do now, where they pretend they're playing in the future with wacky uniforms, like the opposite of a retro night. If I recall they might have tied it into that ad campaign in the early '90s where an old guy called "Elmo 'Skippy' Nordquist" talked to us from the future about all the glory years he witnessed the M's have. (Or maybe that was a different promotion, because I also remember them saying that the "present day" version of Elmo was at the game in question.)
Here are clips from the game I was at:

So glad that wasn’t the future. Haha. Terrible look.

After. 1 yard, 1 play away from back to back super bowls and a potential dynasty. The team never really recovered from it.

Hahahaha. Seriously. I like a good pitchers duel, but this isn’t a good one, it just IS one and a long one at that.

I was super stoked about the 1pm start time for the M’s meaning I wouldn’t miss the Kraken tonight at 7pm. Lmfao. Seriously. Lmfao.

Fans at T-Mobile have started the rabble rabble rabble. They are all saying the same thing just not at the same time.

During the Kraken game last night we started to compare what were the Kraken-Mariners comparisons.
Julio - Beniers = futures of the team
France - Wennberg = Why is this guy on the team, then does something cool, but then forgotten
Haniger - Shwartz = Both #17, both often injured, both should be and can be good when healthy
Kirby - Wright = promising prospect
Santana - Eberle = veteran who scores
Haggerty - Gourde = swagger & energy
Raleigh - Tanev = fan favorites
Gilbert- Oleskiak = the Big Guys
Winkler - Grubauer = the WTH guys
Castillo - Burakovsky = ace acquisition
Suarez - Bjorkstrand = surprising aquisition that's good
Crawford - Larsson = Defense with style
Ray - Dunn = Lefty who can either be really awesome or really bad
Gonzales - McCann = Consistently good but not flashy/elite
Munoz - Borgen = pure fire
