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
On My M’s SoapBox
I usually try to avoid writing about subject(s) matter that tends to cut a little too close to the vest. In the case of of the Seattle Mariners ownership, It’s extremely hard to keep a straight face.
No matter how deep seeded my allegiance lays, (I’ve stayed loyal to this team for over 20 years and that will never change), it becomes extremely...

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...

Where the Jays Stand – Centre Field
Centre field is clearly Colby Rasmus’ position to lose as of now, but what happens if his game is still stuck in St. Louis, as it appeared last season? But first, some “this week in Jays’ news” business:
1 – Johnson/Francisco/Molina/Rauch Arbitrated; Camp Not
The only surprising move out of the group is Jon Rauch, but I guess Alex Anthopoulos felt that the reward of a draft...

Hot Stove Just Warming Up
Last week we found plenty of topics to kick off the first week of the winter, winter being that time of the year when baseball is not played. This week threatens to be a quiet week on the baseball front but who knows? Award season doesn't start until next week so baseball news will have to be generated by the general managers.

Shawn Camp earned the win, as Brandon Morrow struggled...

Enough Complaining…What Would You Do?
It’s rare for me to get so annoyed that I ever have an issue grasping for the right words but when you’ve been pushed to the edge of reason, anything can happen and all bets are off. I can honestly say that some of my fellow Met fans lately have had me wanting to grab them by the neck and squeeze. Oh if only that would only do the trick.
First, I’m going to lay down the basics...

Blue Jays Blow A Pair Of Leads En Route To Extra-Innings Loss To Rays
To say that the Blue Jays bullpen hasn’t had the best of season would be a tremendous understatement. Having gone just 23-for-42 in save opportunities, it might even be an understatement to say that the Blue Jays relief corp have been downright terrible this season. They’ve given up leads like Jo-Jo Reyes likes to give up hits, and essentially everyone in the ‘pen has been...
