What’s up with all the lefties being thrown at the Mariners since resuming play after the All-Star break?  Local boy Jon Lester is going tonight for Boston.
I want to watch Jeff Clement play; is that too much to ask?

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Right now there are two main reasons why I don’t do these game threads.  […]
