Seattle Mariners OF Greg Halman slain (AP)
2011-11-21 13:45:00
Dutch police say Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman has been stabbed to death and his brother has been arrested as a suspect. Rotterdam Police spokeswoman Patricia Wessels says police were called to a home in the Dutch port city early Monday morning and found Halman bleeding from a stab wound. The officers attempted unsuccessfully to ...
Felix Hernandez in 2009
2009-01-28 18:47:00
Felix Hernandez in 2009 While reading a newspaper while on vacation I came across the Mariners signing of Felix Hernandez to a one-year, $3.8 million contract. God, that’s quite a deal when compared to the Silva’s and Washburn’s of the world. Another feather in the arbitration, pre-FA contract’s cap. Any who, looking at Felix he’s bound ...
Best Free Agent Signings of 2009: Russell Branyan
2008-12-15 15:12:00
Best Free Agent Signings of 2009: Russell Branyan The Seattle Mariners December 3rd signing of Russell Branyan (one year contract at $1.4 million) kicks off this years edition of best free agent signings. Branyan is a left-handed power bat with less than desirable defense. While his D is below average, he is flexible enough to play at ...
How does Ichiro fare with first base occupied?

How does Ichiro fare with 1st occupied?
Rumors: Vidro, Bedard, Ibanez +
2008-07-15 14:42:00
A lot of us thought it absurd that Richie Sexson was let go before the even more useless Jose Vidro, but it seems order is slowly returning to the universe.  This from Prospect Insider’s sidebar: There are some rumors starting to swirl around the team as they left Kaufmann Stadium today that designated hitter Jose Vidro’s ...
Defense
2008-07-12 00:33:00
C: Jeff Clement seems to handle pitchers fairly well and calls a decent game, blocks pitches he needs to but isn’t great behind the plate in that regard, though he does seem to know how to protect the plate from opposing runners.  Kenji Johjima calls a horrible game and isn’t known for his plate blocking ...
Griffey Joins 600 Club
2008-06-10 03:34:00
  You all may remember Ian’s fascination with Barry Bonds as he approached and passed the all-time home run mark by Hank Aaron. To me it was an incredible achievement but I had a hard time celebrating it because of the person behind it. A week or so ago Boston’s Manny Ramirez hit his 500th career home ...
Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 6/9
2008-06-09 16:00:00
The Boston Red Sox head into today’s scheduled off day on a positive note, taking 2-of-3 from the Seattle Mariners with AL East foe the Baltimore Orioles coming to Fenway. With Big Papi out of the lineup the past week, J.D. Drew has stepped up and said no Papi, no problem. He’s been absolutely torrid at ...
Drew, Masterson Lead Red Sox To Win
2008-06-08 23:30:00
J.D. Drew continued to swing at hot stick and Justin Masterson gave the Boston Red Sox six strong innings to help lead them to a 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners in front of yet another sold out crowd at a very hot Fenway Park. In just his 4th big league start, Masterson was once again ...
Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 6/8
2008-06-08 18:06:00
The Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners wrap up their 3-game set on a hot and humid day at Fenway Park. For the Red Sox, Justin Masterson will be looking for his third big league win in 4 starts. On the season, Masterson is 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in 18.1 innings pitched. He has never ...
Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 6/8
2008-06-08 13:00:00
One night after being shutout by the Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox team we all know and love was back yesterday as they put a whipping on the Mariners. Tim Wakefield had arguably his best knuckleball of the season and Manny Ramirez made people think twice about parking in the parking garage behind the ...
Wakefield, Drew Lead Sox In 11-3 Rout
2008-06-08 01:13:00
A make shift lineup by Terry Francona did some major damage as the Boston Red Sox ripped the Seattle Mariners, 11-3 in front of a sold out Fenway Park. With 5 regulars out of the starting lineup due to nagging injuries, DL stints or some much needed rest the Sox pounded out 13 hits off ...
Afternoon Red Sox Delight -6/7
2008-06-07 20:37:00
With Ian out of here today it’s my crack at some afternoon delight I know I could use some. So, where are the women at? Uh what’s that? It’s not what I think it is? Really? You’re kidding right? Damn, shut out again. Well I guess I’ll give you some Sox news as they prepare to ...
Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 6/7
2008-06-07 16:00:00
A day after the big brouhaha between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, the Seattle Mariners rolled into Boston with their ace King Felix Hernandez on the mound. King Felix always seem to pitch well against the Red Sox and last night was no different. He combined with 3 relievers on a 8-0 ...
Mariners End Red Sox Home Winning Streak
2008-06-07 04:35:00
After a night where there was plenty of excitement at Fenway Park, the Seattle Mariners came to town sporting the league’s worst record. At the end of the night tonight, the Mariners found themselves 8-0 winners over the Boston Red Sox in front of 37,757 fans. The win ended the Red Sox 13-game home winning streak ...
Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 6/6
2008-06-06 23:47:00
Where to start? Do we start with Jacoby Ellsbury’s wrist or Manny’s hamstring or the Manny-Youk incident or the suspensions handed down by MLB to the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays? MLB handed down suspensions to three Red Sox players and five Rays players today after last night’s little tiff. Coco Crisp has ...

Boston Red Sox News & Notes - 5/29
2008-05-29 13:00:00
For some reason the Boston Red Sox cannot win on the road. The offense managed only two hits last night off of former AL East nemesis Erik Bedard. The loss last night dropped them to 11-19 on the road and 1-5 on this 10-game road trip. Something has to give with the Red Sox on the ...
Red Sox Shut Out 1-0 In Pitcher?s Duel
2008-05-29 07:00:00
Boston Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield and Mariners starter Erik Bedard found themselves engaged in a pitcher’s duel on Wednesday night at Safeco Field. All it took was one mistake by Wakefield as Yuniesky Betancourt’s 3rd inning home run was the difference as the Mariners beat the Red Sox 1-0 in front of 30,752 fans. The ...
Evening Red Sox Delight - 5/28
2008-05-29 02:25:00
Tonight Tim Wakefield will take the bump for the Boston Red Sox seeking his first career win at Safeco Field. The Red Sox will need a good outing from Wakefield in order to get a road win, something that’s been hard to come by this season. As of this post time, the Red Sox haven’t announced ...

2008-05-28 15:30:00
One day after ending their 7-game losing streak on the road, the Boston Red Sox went back to their losing ways on the road as the Seattle Mariners scored a run in the 9th inning off of Mike Timlin. You could say there was just a little bit of drama in the game last night. You ...
Walk-Off Single Wins It For Mariners 4-3
2008-05-28 07:55:00
Jose Lopez hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Seattle Mariners a 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox in front of 30,758 fans at Safeco Field. The win for the Mariners stops a 7-game losing streak and drops the Red Sox to 1-4 on the road trip. The ...

What better way to kick off the Evening Red Sox Delight than with a musical montage courtesy of the fine musical montage makers at NESN. (Please open the article to see the flash file or player.) Daisuke Matsuzaka takes the ball tonight for the Boston Red Sox looking to pick up his AL-leading 9th win of the ...

2008-05-27 15:00:00
The Boston Red Sox got back to the business of winning last night as a great outing by Bartolo Colón and some timely hitting helped them end a 7-game skid on the road. Colón had some good life on his fastball and while he did get into trouble a few times, he was able to ...
Ichiro Makes Catch Of Our Lifetimes
2008-05-27 07:19:00
In the 5th inning of last night’s Boston Red Sox versus Seattle Mariners game, Jason Varitek crushed a ball from Felix Hernandez to deep center field. Initially, it looked as though the ball was going out of the ballpark but as Ichiro tracked the ball down, you could tell it wasn’t going to leave the ...
Red Sox End Road Woes With 5-3 Win
2008-05-27 06:55:00
After being stymied for 7 innings by Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez, the Boston Red Sox broke open a tie game with 4 runs in the 8th inning to get past the Mariners 5-3 at Safeco Field. The win for the Red Sox ended their 7-game road losing streak and was their first (1-3) on ...

The Padres Series
2008-05-19 06:01:00
Over the last 13 years of my life, I have never become uninterested in the Mariners. That is, until about the last week of April, 2008. I typically would watch all 9 innings of a game. When I would go to games, I would stay until the very last pitch, including the Cleveland double-header last ...
More Money, Less Talent for Junior?
2008-05-15 01:32:00
It appears that the Seattle Mariners have no problem taking on Ken Griffey’s salary or next year’s option, meaning Cincinnati wouldn’t be on the hook for any of it.  To me, this is a good thing.  If Seattle required Cincinnati to eat some of his contract, then high caliber prospects would have to be offered up ...
4 K + 1 HR = L
2008-05-13 06:56:00
Monday was an absolute roller coaster of a game in which Seattle loses 13-12.  Brandon Morrow picks up the loss after surrendering a walk-off blast to former Mariner Ramon Vazquez. I’ve written several times about Morrow and how he doesn’t have what it takes to be a consistently successful reliever in the major leagues.  The main ...
Cinci About to Make a Move
2008-05-12 23:54:00
This is total speculation, but interesting nonetheless.  Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker told the media that super prospect Jay Bruce would be recalled soon.  If Bruce is called up to the big club then someone must be on their way out.  This could mean that Cinci is about to trade one of their outfielders (most likely ...
M?s Watching Griffey [UPDATED]
2008-05-12 19:26:00
No more speculation; the Seattle Mariners indeed have their eye on Ken Griffey Jr.  Seattle is the worst team in the American League right now, so it will be interesting to see this unfold.  I’m not so sure that Griffey would accept a trade to Seattle at this point, but we’ll see.  I wrote about the Griffey-to-Seattle scenario ...

All-Stars?
2008-05-10 17:05:00
Did anyone else have a chuckle when they saw this?  Vote for Ichiro.  Vote for Rauuuul.  Maybe send a couple write-in votes for Bad Wlad, and maybe Beltre and Lopez as well.  The rest don’t deserve much recognition.  I wonder if King Felix or the Cranky Canuck have a shot at the All-Star team.
Sexson Charges The Mound
2008-05-09 06:51:00
After Seattle Mariners starter Felix Hernandez hit two Texas Rangers hitters, former Boston Red Sox prospect and current Ranger Kason Gabbard did what any normal pitcher would do. He buzzed one of the other team’s stars. I do have to say the pitch wasn’t close to hitting him but obviously Sexson thought it was. IE users ...

Game Report: Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees
2008-05-05 18:21:00
It was your classic west vs. east matchup Sunday afternoon as the Mariners tried to avoid a sweep against the Yankees. Unfortunately, the Bronx Bombers came to play despite starting the day a tad slow. After scoring only seven runs in their previous four games, the Mariners gave starter Carlos Silva a 2-0 lead after ...
Putz Problemo
2008-05-02 05:38:00
I think I just developed a stomach ulcer.  J.J. Putz fails to slam the door, yet again, and memories of Seattle winning almost every game once leading after eight seem distant. So what’s wrong with Putz? Here is one of his walks from tonight:   And here is a strikeout from last year: What is the first thing you notice?  ...
Any More Moves for the M?s?
2008-05-02 03:56:00
It was certainly refreshing to see Seattle’s willingness to admit a mistake even before the conclusion of the season’s first month.  Rich Aurillia stuck around until July 9th in 2004, Bret Boone until July 2nd in 2005, Carl Everett until July 25th in 2006, and Scott Spiezio somehow made it through 141 games over two seasons ...
Clement, Balentien Called Up
2008-04-30 22:31:00
I just mentioned that Brad Wilkerson was on his way out, and now John Hickey of the Seattle P-I is reporting that Jeff Clement and Wladimir Balentien will indeed be joining the Seattle Mariners in Cleveland for Wednesday’s ballgame.  As I type Geoff Baker updates his blog that both Wilkerson and Greg Norton have been designated for ...
Got Wilk? Not Anymore
2008-04-30 22:10:00
Brad Wilkerson’s 3-for-3 effort last night wasn’t enough to save him job.  Ryan Divish of the News Tribune is reporting that Wilkerson’s locker has been cleaned out, name plate and all. It’s unknown at this point whether he has been given his unconditional release or if he was designated for assignment.  No word yet on the ...
Silva-Sized Win for the M?s
2008-04-30 04:49:00
Sunday night: King Felix Hernandez dominates the Oakland Athletics for 7 innings, keeping them scoreless and striking out 10 while walking just 2.  He returns for the 8th inning and walks the first batter.  Then surrenders a double.  Then walks another batter.  Then surrenders a single that drives in a pair.  Tied ballgame.  Felix is ...
Clement and Wlad to be Called Up [Updated]
2008-04-30 00:57:00
Manager John McLaren told reporters pre-game that top prospects Jeff Clement and Wladimir Balentien will be called up to the big leagues “sooner than later.”  This was obviously expected considering the struggles of the Seattle Mariner offense.  This also seems to fit in well with the discovery that Clement’s free agent eligibilitycan be pushed back one ...
Clement in AAA for a Reason [Updated]
2008-04-29 06:51:00
GM Bill Bavasi may have had us all fooled.  We’ve all been sitting around debating why the hell Jeff Clement hadn’t been called up, but Bavasi might have been just doing his job.  How this slipped past everyone I will never know, but a Seattle based radio program was reporting that by leaving Clement in the minor leagues until May 8th it ...

Photo Gallery: Seattle Mariners vs. Baltimore Orioles, April 6th; Balto., Md - Oriole Park at Camden YardsToday was a wonderful day at the Yard, as Luis Hernandez (yes, him), had a walk-off RBI single in the bottom-of-the-ninth inning to send Baltimore to victory as they beat the Mariners, 3-2.Basically, the Orioles had their backs to the wall, as they were shut-out by young phenom, Felix Hernandez for eight innings, until the M's bullpen took over and things went haywire.With J.J. Putz out on the DL, the Mariners turned things to Eric O'Flaherty. Let's just say he was awful.The O's rally in the ninth would start off with Nick Markakis doubling to left; thereafter, Kevin Millar grounded out to move Markakis to third; the next batter, Aubrey Huff grounded out as well to drive him in.Luke Scott came up after Huff, with two outs, and singled to right getting the ball past Seattle's Jose Vidro. Seattle manager John McLaren pulled the book on O'Flaherty and Mark Lowe came into the...
Luke Scott has perfect night and Baltimore Orioles beat Seattle Mariners 6-
2008-04-06 04:22:00
Luke Scott went 3-for-3 with two RBIs, and the Baltimore Orioles received solid contributions from several other newcomers Saturday night in a 6-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Matt Albers (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings of one-hit relief and George Sherrill worked the ninth for his third save in three tries. Read the full story.
Orioles, Rays rained out; Seattle Mariners up next for Baltimore (AP)
2008-04-04 00:44:00
Long before Thursday night’s game against Tampa Bay was postponed by rain, several members of the Baltimore Orioles were already looking forward to a visit from the Seattle Mariners. There will be handshakes and hugs at the outset of the four-game series Friday, because former Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo and one-time ace Erik Bedard will ...
