This ought to be interesting. A bunch of high ERAs, the last road stand we had against Detroit, no offense [...]

If a song were to describe the past 6 days, that song comes to mind. This roadstand was absolute destruction. The Mariners not only had their pride destroyed, but it was raped, abused, trampled. How much humiliation can one team endure? We’re about to find out. Boston comes to Seattle starting a 3 game series [...]

You throw Johjima under the bus. You say there are language barriers that make you pitch terrible when he catches. You get your wish and Burke catches.
You get blasted. Maybe it’s not the catchers at fault…

If you haven’t heard by now, Seattle’s uber-prospect Carlos Triunfel has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules of some kind.  I’ve nosed around a bit, but everyone in-the-know is being very hush hush about the situation.  He has been suspended for a week and a half so far.
From what I gather, the organization wants him to [...]

Which team in the AL West has the distinct ability to fold once they find themselves losing 2-1 in only the 2nd inning?

I haven’t spent much time in front of the computer or in front of the TV lately.  I have lots of family in town and I’m days away from embarking on a series of trips (some work, mostly vacation) that’ll have me away from Washington for 41 days consecutively, so sorry for the lack of updates!  [...]

Over the last 13 years of my life, I have never become uninterested in the Mariners. That is, until about the last week of April, 2008. I typically would watch all 9 innings of a game. When I would go to games, I would stay until the very last pitch, including the Cleveland double-header last [...]

…in this video.
It’s an interesting proposition.  Seattle has been interested in Carlos Delgado in the past, and his left handed bat would fit nicely into the lineup and Safeco Field, but I’m not sure such a deal would be in Seattle’s best interest. 
While Delgado strikes out slightly less and is hitting for a better average, [...]

Can you believe that our Seattle Mariners are only 7.5 games back in the AL West?  With the way they’ve been playing I keep expecting to see that they’ve fallen to 10 or 15 games back already.  Seattle still has a shot thanks to sub-.500 play from the Angels and A’s.  7.5 games is a reasonable deficit [...]

5/16: Miguel Batista vs. Chris Young
5/17: Erik Bedard vs. Randy Wolf
5/18: Felix Hernandez vs. Shawn Estes
If there is anyone who knows how Seattle is feeling this season, it’s the Padres.  Like the Mariners, San Diego was picked by some to win their division, but have been in a dogfight with Seattle for Major League Baseball’s [...]
