Cactus League countdown: Seattle Mariners
No team reports to Arizona for spring training this season earlier than the Seattle Mariners. That's actually because they open 2012 with two games in Tokyo on March 28 and 29, but frustrated Mariners fans might tell you it's because they need the extra work.
Coming off a second straight last-place finish in the AL West, the Mariners face long odds once again after a mostly...

Memo to Seattle Mariners ownership: Stop selling us mediocrity

Mariners gain some experience, back-end bullpen help with two signings
The Mariners not only added Taiwanese left-hander Kong-Chih Kuo to their midst, as expected, earlier today, but then tacked on veteran right hander Shawn Camp. Both have been given one-year major league deals by the Mariners, meaning they will very likely be on the squad that leaves spring training.
For a team that had no real southpaws in the bullpen when the winter began -- other...

Blue Jays Mid-Season Report Card: Closer/Relief Pitchers & Overall Team
The Toronto Blue Jays have been a pleasant surprise to this point in the season.
It is safe to say that very few baseball people projected Toronto to be sitting just one game under .500 (44-45) at the mid-way point of the campaign; especially without their former Ace, Roy Halladay, pulling their collective butt’s out of the fire every five days.

Mikey Versus The Manager
Some of you may have heard that Mike Wilner, the Fan 590 pre and post-game host, has been given the weekend off by Rogers who own both the Fan 590 and the Jays. If you remember the Jays lost a tough game against the Rays on Tuesday and on Wednesday Wilner asked Cito about his bullpen strategy in that game. Either Cito or the Jays, or both, didn't appreciate the conversation...
