Seahawks getting it done in a different way, but that was almost as dominant of a first half as the week 13 road beatdown of the Eagles in the snow on Monday Night Football in 2005. That was a fun game to be at.

My roommate and I listened to Game 4 of the 2001 ALDS on the radio while standing in line at a physical Ticketmaster location so we could score tickets for Game 5 when the Mariners won. Never thought we'd wait this long to celebrate another home playoff win. Savor the moment.
For perspective, the Kingdome was only open for 24 years, and shut down a little bit more than 2 months before the implosion.
M’s last home playoff win October 15th, 2001.

Bruce Bochy SD (1984, ‘96)
