Mike Morse, the Mariners right fielder Sunday, has played all over the diamond in his 4 years with the M’s. Yesterday, he proved that right field is not his home on a major league field. He misjudged or misplayed 3 fly balls in right that led to 7 runs. On the last play he hurt [...]

Mike Morse needs to get out of right field
Monday, April 14th, 2008Mariners opening day at Safeco
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008We battled the rain, the snow, and Erik Bedard’s 5 walks, but we stuck it out for the whole game. The Mariners open the season with a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
Bright spots
Adrian Beltre – He looked comfortable hitting and if he’s hitting, the M’s have some stability in the middle of their lineup.
JJ [...]
Camping out for Mariners tickets
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008So, its 4 am on a Friday night/Saturday morning and I’m sitting at the Mariners Team Store downtown Seattle with Jared waiting in line for single game tickets.
Why? Hmm. Great question. I’m freezing my ass off. My hands are numb typing this out. For what? The honor of getting opening day tickets to see Erik [...]
Mariners and Orioles finally finish the Bedard for Jones deal
Sunday, February 10th, 2008The Mariners and the Orioles finally get the deal done to send Erik Bedard here to Seattle and the Mariners send top prospect Adam Jones to Baltimore. There are some other players heading to Baltimore in the deal as well. Left-handed specialist George Sherrill along with 3 minor leaguers.
Was this too much for the Mariners [...]
Looks like the Mariners will part with Adam Jones for Orioles ace Bedard
Monday, January 28th, 2008All signs are pointing to the fact that the Mariners will have a true #1 starter for the 2008 season. It is also looking like they will part with their 5-tool outfielder Adam Jones. Jones was called back from his Winter League assignment in Venezuela over the weekend to take a physical in Baltimore. Also [...]
M’s need to add some fire
Monday, July 30th, 2007Watching the Mariner’s beat the Oakland A’s yesterday was one of the best baseball experiences of the year for me. It was turn back the clock day at Safeco and after a scorcher on Saturday the weather was more in line with traditional Seattle weather†cool, cloudy and perfect for baseball. The game [...]
All part of the experience
Monday, July 16th, 2007Editor’s note: And now a break from my normal drivel. This is a post from my better half, Mollie. She is a blogger of a different variety (that is to say she talks about actual important things in life) over at One/Change. I couldn’t be happier to lend some of my blogspace to her. Quite [...]
Ichiro signs contract extension through 2012
Friday, July 13th, 2007The Mariners did not let the unthinkable (losing their franchise player) happen. They locked up Ichiro for 5 years and will pay him $90 million. One thing we all know about Ichiro is that he remains healthy. He has played in 98.5% of the Mariners games since the start of the 2001 season.
Ichiro’s skills [...]
Grover, we were just getting to know you
Monday, July 2nd, 2007My time as a Mariners fan is admittedly short, but in the few short months I’ve experienced Seattle baseball, I’ve enjoyed. I’ve enjoyed Ichiro’s weirdness, Richie’s home run swing, timely hitting and a bullpen that is capable (if not brilliant). I’ve also enjoyed seeing Mike Hargrove manage. His lineups have been all over the map [...]
The Cubs face the Mariners at Wrigley Field
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Make no mistake, I am a Cubs fan. The current series between the Cubs and the Mariners is a actually a treat. But my allegiance is clear. I have one singular rooting interest, the Cubs. I couldn’t want the Cubs to win, and the Mariners to lose these three games more than I currently do. [...]
