The Rivercats opened their 2009 season tonight after a 43 minute rain delay. It rained throughout most of the game which was called at the end of the eighth. They opened the season with 16 returning players from 2008. Did I mention that conditions were miserable? That paralleled the first opener ten years ago.
As happens every season, it was great to simply see our seatmates after several months off. There are 71 home games left. Tonight's loss had some good points (including pitching in the first four innings by Vince Mazzaro. It had one horrible call by the third base umpire - at which I said in a loud voice "That is the worst call of the season." Which was true but may also be true for a a good part of the remaining season.
The Cats lost 9-4 tonight with Kevin Cameron getting the loss - he deserved it. The Rainiers busted it open in the sixth and came back even stronger in the seventh. This is the start of a long home stand - eight games - all from the Northwest - Tacoma and then Portland. Did I mention the conditions were miserable?
