    Mariners Should Let Nostalgia Flow, Sign Garcia

    With this season's signing of Ken Griffey Jr., the Mariners signaled that as long as the team is going to rebuild, it might as well throw fans a nostalgic bone in the process.

    2009 M's a 2007 Clone?

    The year was 2007. Still hungover from the record-setting success of the early aught-naughts, the M's were coming off three consecutive abysmal seasons, predicated by the ill-conceived multimillion-dollar signings of Richie Sexson and Adrian Beltre (he's pretty good, but we overpaid). Hence, expect ... More >>

    The Return of Ichiro (Sort of), and Carlos Silva Still Sucks

    The Mariners' star right fielder has been out with a bleeding ulcer, but yesterday afternoon the team announced that docs have cleared him for designated hitter duties in spring training games with minor leaguers, where he'll face pitching on par with that of Carlos Silva.

    Who says Erik doesn't smile?Surly Canuck Erik Bedard showed the stuff that made Mariner fans (irrationally) hopeful about last season, striking out 8 in 5 innings and displaying a devastating curveball, or yakker.
