Las Vegas Bullpen Can’t Handle The Heat, Falls to Tacoma 5-3
Tacoma 5, Las Vegas 3
As has been the case all season for the major league level of the Mets franchise, the Las Vegas 51s bullpen was unable to maintain a slim lead as they went on to fall to the Tacoma Rainiers 5-3.
The well traveled Chris Schwinden got the nod for the 51s who were attempting to avoid a four-game sweep from the Rainiers. Schwinden had gotten off to a horrible...

Hoping Hitters Go 0-fer Against Jo-Fer
Last year, the Buy/Sell brought you such brilliant ideas as “Eric Thames is gonna be a river running through your heart!” and “Brennan Boesch is more like Brennan Bauce.” Buy/Sell, “You know, I don’t point all of your crappy suggestions… A.J. Mass was talking about buying me an acre of land in Kentucky and letting me run around with all of his stolen base draft picks...
*My* Seattle Mariners 2012-2013 off-season to do list
Big bats needed
It’s the time of year for every Mariners fan to become the fantasy GM for their favorite team.
I know that this is something I do every year, and my ideas never even come close to whomever is sitting in that position at the time.
This year my thoughts may be a little on the outside of most Mariners fans, but at the same time, I honestly believe this is whats best...
Offseason moves…what do the Mariners do in the outfield?
The Fences Are Coming In!
The question is: With young outfielders everywhere, what should the Seattle Mariners do this offseason to solidify 7, 8 & 9?
The heart of the matter in Seattle is that the Mariners need more production from their bats. With the strength of Jack Zduriencik’s draft classes in the infield, mainly 2B Dustin Ackley, 3B Kyle Seager, and eventually SS Nick...

Editor's note: NESN.com is going to tell the story of the 2012 Red Sox in Bobby Valentine's words. Each game day, we will select a Valentine quote that sums up the day for the Red Sox. For the first time in nearly a week, the Red Sox received a strong pitching performance. But it was the offense and the defense behind the pitcher that were lacking in Monday's 4-1 loss...
Seattle Mariners Flourish At Home; Lose Heartbreakers To White Sox
This week the Mariners faced the Indians and the White Sox. The Indians were cleanly swept by the Mariners, and the series featured the return of Felix after his Perfect Game 2 weeks ago against the Rays. Safeco was decked out from head to toe in yellow, wearing “King of Perfection” Felix t-shirts and holding up “K” cards to make the entire stadium the King’s “Supreme...
Diamond, Twins look to solve Mariners
Four days in Minnesota could be what the Seattle Mariners need to get another winning streak going.

Seattle (62-67) led in all three contests over the weekend in Chicago, but lost each one after...

Mariners' Saunders, Thames ailing after collison
The Mariners may be in the market for a couple of outfielders Saturday in Chicago. With two on and one out in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game, center fielder Michael Saunders and right fielder Eric Thames collided in pursuit of a warning-track fly ball off the bat of Chicago first baseman Paul Konerko. Thames caught the ball but, in the collision a couple of feet in front...
VIDEO: White Sox walk off after outfielders collide

Kevin Youkilis singled to center to score...
Hey Seattle Mariners fans! Could it be our time?
Are they really doing this?
Well friends, as the MLB All Star Game approached, it seemed the only thing the local media was willing to talk about in regards to this Mariners team was how terrible they had been at home.
They were on pace for a historically futile season in the confines of Safeco Field, the power numbers were terrible, the team batting average was 20+ points below...
What in the sam hell has gotten into our beloved Mariners?
8 game win streak
So, we have a winner in town, and it’s not even football season yet. Our team has won 10 of their last 11 overall and eight in a row at home.
The Seattle Mariners are having one of the best second halves in baseball, and it all started (pretty much) when they traded long time RF Ichiro.
Just like after the 2000 season, when we found ourselves without the big...

In Case You Haven’t Noticed
So remember when I said the Mariners weren’t contenders? Yeah, its still true. But—
The M’s have been playing some very improved baseball in the second half. They’re 22-13, and that’s despite playing the Yankees twice, the Rays twice, the Orioles, Rangers, and Angels. Now, some will point out that we did play the Royals and Twins in this span, and that’s a given . But...

Nice Video! Eric Thames Mariners walk off hit pie in the face
An EPIC night!
Was there EVER a better post game interview in MLB in 2012? I’ll argue NOT. The Seattle Mariners, and Seattle are falling in love with their new outfielder.
“It’s hard not to!”
Eric Thames last night drove in the winning run for the Mariners in the bottom of the 9th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It was the first career walk-off hit for him.
Thames blooped...
Rays look to come back against Mariners
The Tampa Bay Rays' longest winning streak in two years ended in disappointing fashion.
Bouncing back doesn't seem like it will be easy with a matchup in Wednesday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners' Felix Hernandez, who has routinely frustrated the Rays.
Tampa Bay (63-53) appeared on the verge of winning its eighth in a row Tuesday, leading 2-1 after...
