    Jack Zduriencik Is Threatening to Become Baseball's Joe Dumars

    ​Former basketball star Joe Dumars is to Detroit as Edgar Martinez is to Seattle. But unlike Martinez, the former Piston works for his onetime employer in the very important position of general manager. Despite dubiously passing on Carmelo Anthony in the draft, he acquired Ben and Rasheed Wall ... More >>

    Norm's Drinkers Poised to Capitalize On Milton Bradley's Temper, Futility

    For Norm's regulars, Milton's meltdowns can't happen enough.​First-year Mariner Milton Bradley (shown here in the garb of his previous employer) went apeshit and stormed out of the dugout Tuesday night, something he does quite a bit. This tendency, coupled with his shitty .214 batting average, ... More >>

    Art Thiel Can't Help But Sound Like a Cranky Old Man When Talking About Chone Figgins

    Art Thiel may be entertaining, but he's not always right.​The P-I's Art Thiel is an entertaining, old school kind of sports writer. The kind of guy who'd be fun to sit next to at the bar. But man is he wrong about the Mariners signing of Chone Figgins. Says Thiel:He's a good addition, but four ... More >>

    Adrian Beltre Won't Take Cup Questions, Will Wear Cup

    ​Testicle jokes are funny, unless it's your testicle people are joking about. Then it can get old. At least, that's the experience of Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre. As you probably know, he's been on the Disabled List for a few weeks now with a contused testicle, the result of a bad-hop ... More >>

    Because He Has a Torn Right Testicle, Adrian Beltre Will Wear a Cup...for Now

    ​Remember how Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre tore a testicle when a groundball hit him in, well, the testicle? It happened because he wasn't wearing a cup. And he said then that he didn't plan to wear a cup, that the discomfort of the protective apparel wasn't worth the once-in-a-decade ... More >>

    Might the Mariners Still Trade Beltre?

    ​ The Mariners' ability to trade free-agent-to-be Adrian Beltre by the end of the month is rife with complications. For starters, Beltre will not be coming back as quickly as expected from a busted nut. Secondly, the vast majority of teams in playoff contention who'd be in the market to rent h ... More >>

    This Is Why You Wear a Cup, Kids: Adrian Beltre Out With Torn Testicle

    ​While lauded for his toughness--he once tried to take infield practice wearing a colostomy bag--Adrian Beltre has proven to be not so durable, regularly missing games because of hard-luck injuries. This one, though, is his own fault. The M's have put Beltre on the disabled list for 15 games a ... More >>

One, the White Sox claimed Blue Jay outfielder Alex Rios off waivers. Rios, who's underperformed this year after signing a 7-year, $69 millio ... More >>

    A Reminder of Why You Should Watch the Mariners (at Least Every Fifth Game)

    There are a number of reasons to watch every Mariners' game--Franklin Gutierrez's defense, Adrian Beltre's defense, Russel Branyan's offense, Ichiro's everything, and boredom. But last night we got a reminder of why one out of every five games really is must-see TV. Felix Hernandez threw a two-hit s ... More >>
