We went to the Mariners game last Friday ; they got a pretty nice win against Cleveland . I got the chance to try out the stitch assist mode on my camera and took a cool panorama of Safeco Field , stitched together with Windows Live Photo Gallery : We saw some exciting home runs , even a grand slam . A couple shots of the players : Once again I have to express my appreciation for my super - zoom camera . We were sitting pretty far away ( I bought cheap Microsoft group tickets ) but at the farthest zoom I was able to get the lettering on the back of Ichiro 's shirt .
