The Seahawks predictably lost on Monday Night Football. As part of the show, ABC paid to have its logo painted onto the infield of an empty Safeco Field, a painful reminder of the Mariners’ failure to make the baseball postseason. That failure has prompted M’s manager Lou Piniella, catalyst of everything the team’s ever accomplished, to quit. And the team that snuck ahead of the M’s to win the AL Wild Card slot won the league penant, setting up an (ugh! double ugh!) all-California World Series.
