Growing up in the Ken Griffey Jr. era, it was hard not to be a Seattle Mariners fan. Griffey Jr. was and still remains my favorite baseball player of all time.

Nice Video! Eric Thames Mariners walk off hit pie in the face

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  August 15, 2012
An EPIC night! Was there EVER a better post game interview in MLB in 2012? I’ll argue NOT.

Felix Hernandez-The King of Seattle!

Via TheDaveSimsShow  |  August 17, 2012
I need to go pick some Lotto numbers! I’ve lucked into calling two perfect games and a combined no-no in the 2012 MLB season. There was the April 21 perfecto thrown by the White Sox Philip Humber against the Mariners at Safeco Field, on Fox. Then there was the six-pitcher combined no-no thrown June 8th by the Mariners against the Dodgers, again, at Safeco Field. The biggie was...

Smoak Up. Oh Well.

Via The Baseball Page  |  August 15, 2012
Mike Carp hit the DL, courtesy of the remarkable stretch he made below: The Mariners called up Justin Smoak to take his place. Smoak is a known commodity and got sent down because he wasn't hitting all that well. I saw him in Tacoma a few times, and he did not look much better to me. He did not hit a home run in 82 AAA plate appearances. The biggest difference...
