David Aardsma: A-. Aarsdma's been quite a find, helping to somewhat stabilize a bullpen that was sent into disarray by Brandon Morrow. The strikeouts are way up, and he's only had a couple meltdowns through three months...

Dear Roger's Media,
This is a letter regarding my divorce from your ball club, the Toronto Blue Jays. I can no longer put up with the false hope year after year, being promised that each over the hill signing will give us the push that will finally get us to the playoffs for the...
Bullpen burnout forced Mariners to stick with David Aardsma
June 01, 2009 by
Seattle Times
| Comments
Yes, I know yesterday's game was painful to watch. We can see here how, in the ninth, Vladimir Guerrero gets a little lucky, blooping an RBI hit to right that makes it an 8-7 game.
For me, that hit keyed the inning. It forced the M's to walk Torii Hunter, because you just...
Things I Learned Watching A Few Hours Of The Venezuelan Winter League

The whole reason I tuned in in the first place was to watch Michael Saunders. Venezuela makes the third country in which Mike doesn't know when to take the bat off his shoulders.

Jack Hannahan, Josh Wilson both staying: relief pitcher to go
August 20, 2009 by
Seattle Times

Just got to the ballpark and I can tell you that third baseman Jack Hannahan and infielder Josh Wilson are both in today's starting lineup. I'm told a relief pitcher will be the one to go, clearing a major league spot for Bill Hall, and that it won't be Miguel Batista...

What the Seattle Mariners Should Be Planning for the Offseason
September 02, 2009 by
Bleacher Report
| Comments
The Mariners have been a very nice surprise this year, coming off a season when they had the second worst record in baseball. They have bounced back this year and are currently four games over .500.

Hank Blalock had a two-run homer with one-out in the fifth, and Nelson Cruz followed two batters later with a solo shot to move the Rangers into a 3-3 tie entering the bottom of the sixth inning.
Blalock's 19th homer came on a hanging curveball off Erik Bedard, and Cruz's...

M's Need to Be Offensive
July 24, 2009 by
Bleacher Report

The Seattle Mariners aren't offensive enough. It's true. As the trade deadline looms in one week, the M's rank second to last in runs scored. The lowly Kansas City Royals are the only team with fewer runs scored this season.
The Mariners have been outscored this year...
