None other than ex-Seattle resident Kenneth Gorelick, otherwide known to music fans as Grammy Award winning saxophonist Kenny G. Had a chance to chat with the G-Man himself for a bit, not-too-slyly interrupting his rehearsal of the Star Spangled Banner, which he's here to play tonight. As I type this, he's down on the field having a prolonged talk with Ken Griffey Jr. But moments ago, we were speaking. He was very interested in all of the Japanese media swarming the field. Asked me where Ichiro was and I pointed him out. He seemed impressed that I had a Fuji TV crew following me around. But was more intrigued by Ichiro.

Miguel Batista to miss series in Texas tending to family issues

Via Seattle Times  |  September 11, 2009
We're in a rain delay situation here in Texas. It's expected to last at least one hour, with an update expected at 6 p.m. Pacific time. Plenty of Ichiro fans here to see whether he'll notch a record ninth straight 200-hit season. But I'll tell you what, if they don't get this game in tonight, he might not set the record until he's back in Seattle. Folks here were expecting rain tomorrow...

Ichiro mania grips Japan, Mike Sweeney too

Via Seattle Times  |  September 09, 2009
No, this isn't a sign Mike Sweeney is headed to the Japanese League next season. Sweeney was on the field for pre-game stretching and saw some fans down the right field line, one of them wearing a Team Japan jersey with Ichiro's name on it. So, he did what Sweeney would do. Borrowed the jersey and came running over to lead the stretching routine. Kind of what Ichiro would...

Via dallasnews.com  |  September 10, 2009
Good news for the Rangers: Brandon Morrow will indeed be Seattle's starting pitcher Friday for the opener of a three-game series with the Rangers, who have enjoyed facing the hard-throwing right-hander this season.

Via USS Mariner  |  September 09, 2009

Angels 6, Mariners 3: Ian Snell pitching into sixth is all that mattered tonight

Via Seattle Times  |  September 09, 2009
This bullpen situation is a lot more precarious than the team is letting on. And that's why panic must have started to set in when Ian Snell was working on his 30th pitch of the night, having notched just one out in the first inning. But Snell got through that frame on 33 pitches in a game his team went on to lose 6-3. The Mariners were never in this one after that four-run first...

Brandon Morrow Should Be in the Seattle Mariners Bullpen

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 12, 2009
Brandon Morrow should be kept around in the 2009 MLB off-season to be groomed as the team’s future closer. Morrow has been the subject of fan dismay for the past few seasons. After being drafted a handful of spots ahead of 2008 Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, then bouncing between the bullpen and the starting rotation—by both his own and the front office’s volition...
