The Seattle Mariners started their latest ten game road trip in grand fashion, winning their first four games. They then dropped their last six, including all four games to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays are tied for best record in the American League, and it was a competitive series for Seattle losing three games by one run and the other by two. The Mariners then finally returned home, to see their losing streak go to a season high seven games losing to Minnesota 3-2. Seattle then righted the ship winning the last two games and taking the series. When it was all said and done after today’s win, the Mariners stand at 13-17 on the season, third place in the A.L. West and six games behind the division leading Texas Rangers.
Felix Hernandez stopped the Mariners' seven game losing streak by throwing eight shut out innings against the Twins on Saturday.
Good News. You can’t say enough about Felix Hernandez’s performance on Saturday night. He took the mound with the Mariners owning a ...

Hilarious situation in Seattle this weekend. Hector Noesi had two balls thrown at him. One by the ump, one by his catcher. Have a look.
Nice reflexes Hector!
He threw one low pitch, but ended up getting back two baseballs. Wish I had this luck with women.

Tigers In Town!

Their problem is obvious, although they are in 4th place of all the 30 teams in hits, they are not getting those base-runners home.
As the M’s are edging toward...

Can the Mariners take a punch? Easy, easy, I’m talking figuratively.
I say that because the Tigers are in town tonight to open a three-game series. Item one in the Detroit memory bank is the Mariners coming to the Motor City, taking the Tigers apart April 24-26 in a three-game sweep, outscoring them 21-9. How good a stretch was it for the Mariners as they opened a long 10-game...
