Marly Rivera ESPN Writer
Here's James Paxton's answer when I asked about not making the playoffs in his 6 years with the Mariners, and appreciating the moment: "I feel very fortunate to be here. This is a team that commits itself to winning and making it to the postseason every year. That's a dream for all baseball players when we're young, to pitch in the postseason, pitch in the World Series. To get the opportunity and the chance to go out there and do this, I feel pretty lucky."

David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
It's the end of an era. Felix Hernandez gets the first out of the top of the sixth and that's it. He gets hugs from his teammates at the mound, tears in his eyes. Kyle Seager has tears in his eyes. Felix cries as he walks off the mound and waves to the crowd. He heads to the dugout, more hugs, and comes back out one more time for a standing ovation. There aren't many dry eyes in Seattle.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
King Felix comes out for the top of the sixth inning -- and other than catcher Omar Narvaez, the rest of his teammates stay in the dugout as he warms up. Nice moment. Just Felix and a ballpark all his own.
