Seattle Mariners Love ‘em & Hate ‘em – May 17th edition

The good, the bad, the ugly The Seattle Mariners seem to have woken up from their first month slumber.

Bruce Irvin gets sacked by the NFL

Irvin suspended It is no secret that Bruce Irvin and I don’t have the best relationship.  I am not exactly sure what I did to piss him off, but it must have been something.  He’s not the first player, nor will he be the last, that I haven’t seen eye to eye with. Still, I do my best to evaluate those players the same as I would a player who I like, or one that I have never...

What should the Mariners do about the 9 spot?

NL style in the AL There is something of an uprising starting to rumble in the ranks of the diehard Mariners Nation.
