Walkoff Walk:
Last year, we learned that Mariners pitcher Miguel Batista learned how to play the soprano sax and met Kenny G during spring training in Arizona.
"He played for me," Batista said. "It was my favorite song, 'Alone.' Now, I feel like I've had everything. I've talked pitching with Sandy Koufax, had Kenny G play for me. Maybe if I could have an interview with God, then I'd be served. I'd be complete."
Koufax, Kenny G, and God. The triumvirate. Last night, Kenny G played the National Anthem at Safeco Field so the men had their big emotional reunion prior to the game. It is our duty at Walkoff Walk to alert you to every occurrence when these two gents get together. See you in 2010, fellas.

Angels 6, Mariners 3: Ian Snell pitching into sixth is all that mattered tonight
This bullpen situation is a lot more precarious than the team is letting on. And that's why panic must have started to set in when Ian Snell was working on his 30th pitch of the night, having notched just one out in the first inning.
But Snell got through that frame on 33 pitches in a game his team went on to lose 6-3. The Mariners were never in this one after that four-run first...
