    Hey, Let's Play Ball (And Some Local Music While We're At It)

    Ah... it is finally that time of year. Spring training is well under way in Arizona and Florida and, at long last, the official regular season of America's favorite pastime will soon be under way. It's Baseball season!! If I haven't been clear of this before, it should now be clearly known that I a ... More >>

    With Booming Bats & Weak Arms, the Tacoma Rainiers are the Bizarro Seattle Mariners

    ​Since Jack Zduriencik took over as the Seattle Mariners' general manager a couple years ago, he's stuck to a consistent sermon: Exceptional defense and pitching trump the crack of the bat as the key to winning. And at Safeco Field, a notoriously bad park for power-hitters, that may well be tr ... More >>

    Angling for Mike Carp's Promotion to the Mariners

    Image sourceMike Carp is not a fish. He's only named after one.​The Mariners have won six consecutive series, the first time they have accomplished that feat since the record-setting 2001 season.

    Image source​The Mariners travel to San Diego tonight to take on their bitter interleague rivals the Padres, and they take with them one of the worst-hitting teams in baseball.

    Byrnt Out: How Much Washed-Up Weight Can the M's Roster Continue to Carry?

    Replace the "cks" with a "g" on the jersey, and this photo would captionize itself.​Some things never change, do they? Just like last year, the Seattle Mariners are a team with a sensational pitching staff--and this is a statement that precedes All-Star acquisition Cliff Lee's debut Friday. An ... More >>

    Cliff Lee and Jake Locker Make for Hot Stove Day During Cold Seattle Winter

    Cliff Lee: Almost definitely not Erik Bedard 2.0.​This year has featured more than its fair share of rainy days for the Seattle sports fan. The Seahawks can't stay healthy.

    M's Shouldn't Wait to Call Up Tui

    ​ While Trader Jack and Wak have indeed done a sensational job holding the M's roster together with Scotch tape and gum, we'd like to take this opportunity to debunk one notion that's gained some traction in the media: Namely, that players such as Jack Hanahan and Ryan Langerhans -- both of wh ...

    Mariners Avoid Turning Their Coaches Into Pumpkins, Sign Their Prince Just Before Midnight

    In addition to the money, Ackley's contract guarantees him an oversized helment.​It was uncomfortably close for a fan base scarred by years of watching their team blow opportunities, but with just seven minutes to go before the 12 AM Eastern time deadline, the Mariners signed their top draft p ...

    Are the M's Showcasing Johjima In Order to Move Him?

    ​ Two things happened yesterday that made me think the Mariners might be able to shed Kenji Johjima and his ridiculous contract before the season's out. 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 >>

    So Far, So-So for French, and How 'Bout That Cat on the Field?

    With a fastball that tops out in the high 80s, French could use a little more mustard.​In the first installment of small sample size theater, Jarrod Washburn was disappointing for the Detroit Tigers.

    Another Night, Another Lopsided Loss for M's

    The Mariners got shellacked at home again, this time 11-4 at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, whose fans outnumbered the Mariners' at the Safe. (We knew about Red Sox Nation, but Blue Jay Nation?) But the M's were actually up 4-3 after 5-2/3 innings, until a two-out, no-on, four-run rally by the ... More >>
