As the trade deadline has passed, one can only look back and wonder why the Mariners made so few moves. The only move we made was trading Arthur Rhodes for a potential back-of-the-rotation guy. The Mariners also have not filled Rhodes roster spot yet. Why? I couldn’t tell ya!
The Mariners failed this trade deadline. Interum […]

ESPN wrote an article 10 days ago. I just stumbled upon it tonight, or this morning, whatever time it is. The article goes over first-half MVP cantidates, Cy Young cantidates, among others.
The Least Valuable Player Award was also a topic.
The winner: Richie Sexson.
Others receiving consideration: Jose Vidro, Kenji Johjima
The 2008 Mariners are a laughing stock. […]

Hey, a Dustin appearance! Sorry about the mini-break I took, I was on a rampant job search. I was shut down. But hey, I’m not the only person who was shut down. Read below and enjoy!
I only wish I knew the number of people out there thinking, “It’s about time…” Well, I agree with you […]

Tonight’s starting line might be the best of the year. The best in the last two years. Etc. If you haven’t heard of it, now is the time.
Felix Hernandez (6-5, 2.87 ERA) vs. Johan Santana (7-5, 3.04 ERA)
This promises to be a good one.

The Mariners crush the Braves in the opening game of the series 10-2 to give new skipper Jim Riggleman a win in his Mariners manager debut. The Mariners just flat out hit the ball in timely situations. It looked like it would be another long day when Beltre was robbed of a home run, but […]

I have just read that the Mariners have fired GM Bavasi. This came as a total shock to me. I was watching the College World Series and the bottom bar that updates ESPN viewers with all sports news flashed “Mariners fire GM Bavasi…” So I go to trusty ESPN online and find out that, sure […]

I came back from my Senior Retreat to find out that the Mariners were swept by the Angels. Wow, I don’t feel good anymore.

Positive Note of the Month
Brandon Morrow has been off the charts. Last year, I would have been okay with a trade centered around Morrow. I was completely for it. I wrote an old post….
Brandon Morrow - Morrow does not have what it takes to be a starter, yet. It will take time. He pitched 3, […]

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…

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

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 […]

“The Mariners are paying a combined $24M for Richie Sexson (.195) and Jose Vidro (.202).”
Thank you ESPN.com Power Rankings for putting a damper on my day, yet again.

Maybe it was a good thing that we did not acquire Frank Thomas. According to one scout, “His bat was so slow, he was missing 85-mile-an-hour fastballs. Everything looked so slow, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I didn’t see him drive one ball. Not one. Even in [batting practice], he wasn’t that good. […]
