After dropping off the girls at the airport we found a place to stay (Sleeping Bulldog Bed and Breakfast) and cleaned up before headig to the game. We got to Safeco a little early and walked around.
The feel of the park was very similar to Cleveland's Progressive Field. The team used to be really good back in the 90's but never quite got over the hump of winning it all.
Safeco is a dome but the roof was open and it was really warm out which made for a perfect atmosphere for a game. Early in the game Ben and I selected players for the "home run derby" game and right off the bat, Gutierez, hit a two run shot. Ben won a dollar and that was all the excitement for the game.
The best feature of Safeco was that in left field, the bullpens we set back to back with fence the only divider between the fans and pitchers. It was pretty intamate and very neat.
After the game, we went out to some bars and then walked home to get some rest for the US World Cup game at 7 in the morning against Algeria.
