What does the future hold? Just ask Mike Blowers

September 29th, 2009 at Tue, 29th, 2009 at 1:44 pm by caseyolson

During the pregame show for the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, color analyst Mike Blowers predicted that former Woodinville High School star Matt Tuiasosopo would hit his first Major League home run against the Toronto Blue Jays. Blowers went even further, saying that Tui would hit the pitch into the second deck, in his second at bat of the game, on a 3-1 count and off a fastball.

Here is a link to ESPN 710’s Shannon Drayer’s blog, which has the audio of Blowers’ prediction, as well as the audio of Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs calling the Tuiasosopo home run. It’s priceless and brings me back to the days when the Mariners were actually contenders.
