First off, I will say present ownership has been misguided in the past but I have great faith in Z and Wak and what they will do for this franchise and that is a move the present ownership made; to bring those 2 guys in. Squandered opportunities in the past or not, they make money and in doing so, keep this team in Seattle. As fans, we expect more, and rightfully so, but at least we have a team.

Well, if there was ever a reason to just hang up the cleats and call it a season, it happened to the Ms today and last night.

He then had the wherewithal to get the ball back in to keep Drew at first, before he collapsed back to the ground.

Given their track records, that remains a pretty big if.
Seattle Mariners
Will this be Felix Hernandez’ breakout season?
Seattle ended up a surprise contender last season despite a pitching staff that ranked 10th in the American League in both ERA and strikeouts. To fix that, they went out and traded for Erik Bedard who could team with
