That’s the only word I can think of for that game.  I only got home from work just before extra innings started, but still got treated to plenty of wackiness.  Want a visual aid?  Check out the win probability chart for the game, helpfully illustrated by Lookout Landing.  The graphic is most appropriate. Thirteen innings! [...]

AL West Standings: Week Five

1 Comment Posted by on May 3, 2011

Just a quick version of the Standings this week, as time is a little short today… T-1. Los Angeles Angels (16-13) Last Seven Days: 3-3 Streak: Lost 1 Notes: The Angels are back in first place in the AL West for the first time since last season, when the Rangers overtook them en route to [...]

AL West Standings: Week Four

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 26, 2011

It was kind of an odd week in the AL West, with no real ground gained or lost by any team, and everyone putting in decidedly mediocre performances on a whole. 1. Texas Rangers (14-8) Last Seven Days: 3-3 Current Streak: Lost 1 Notes: The Rangers ended last week beating up on the Angels 7-1, [...]

AL West Standings: Week Three

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 19, 2011

So… yeah. I was really hoping that things might be a little rosier than this for this week’s edition of the standings, but apparently the M’s forgot that it’s not 2010 any more, because they’re currently playing like it is.  Sorry. If it’s any consolation, it was a pretty rough week around the division.  Well, except [...]

Seattle: Where Consolation Prizes Happen

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 13, 2011

That’s really the only thing I can think of to explain the bullpen meltdown.  Other than that Chris Ray is terrible, but more on that later. Sadly, the Mariners wasted Justin Vargas’ first good outing of the year, falling 8-3 to the Toronto Blue Jays on the getaway day of this series.  Vargas went 6 [...]

AL West Standings: Week Two

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 12, 2011

So, this is the debut of the promised new weekly feature around these parts: a weekly look at the standings in the AL West and how things have gotten to where they are.  I thought about making this league-wide, but while I have the time do accomplish such an endeavor now, I’m not sure I [...]

The Saddest Comedy Show Ever

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 10, 2011

Megan’s out and about tonight, so you’re stuck wi… er, I’m filling in for her. Enjoy! So that was a fun way to spend three hours. After their losing streak was brutally raised to five games last night, the Mariners showed up today looking pretty much a listless as they did for much of 2010. [...]

A Return, And A New Feature?

13 Comments Posted by on March 8, 2011

Hey, look who’s back… After a long absence from these hallowed halls, I’m back and ready for more.  It’s been a long offseason, and I unfortunately neglected my duties in helping Megan out around here.  For that I apologize to her, and to all of you.  I’ve been writing a lot at Pro Ball NW [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

1 Comment Posted by on November 25, 2010

Megan and her husband are (slowly) working their way down to Portland to spend time with family for Thanksgiving, so I thought I’d dust off the cobwebs from my little corner of this blog and come talk at you all for a bit. Thanksgiving is a time for, well, giving thanks.  I know, stunning, soul-grabbing [...]

Eric Wedge Expected To Be Named New M’s Manager

Leave a Comment Posted by on October 15, 2010

This is cross-posted from ProBall Northwest Of course, not a full hour after I posted a review of the managerial candidates, and news is starting to filter out that Eric Wedge will be tapped to lead the Seattle Mariners on the field in 2011 and beyond.  Credit to Larry Stone and Jon Heyman for breaking the story, [...]

Looking Ahead Into The Offseason

Leave a Comment Posted by on October 11, 2010

Hey gang.  I know I’ve been fairly quiet around here lately (and for that I apologize profusely), but it’s for a good reason, I swear! I’ve been hyper-busy over at ProBall Northwest over the last few weeks as the season has drawn to a close, and part of that has been the creation of a [...]

Everett AquaSox in NW League Championship

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 12, 2010

Just wanted to give folks a quick reminder that tonight at 6:05, the Everett AquaSox will be playing for the Northwest League Championship in Everett Memorial Stadium.  There was plenty of room in the stands during last night’s game, so come out, pack the stands, and cheer on the Sox in their quest for the [...]

Appreciating Joe Mauer

1 Comment Posted by on August 28, 2010

Just a  quick post from me tonight while I watch the game.  This is something I’ve been wanting to write about for awhile, and with Minnesota in town, now seems like a good time to do it. Joe Mauer is the best pure hitter in all of baseball. Yes, even over venerable hitters like Ichiro [...]

Twice Is Nice In Boston

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 26, 2010

Apparently, I am the king of corny post titles. Go me? Sorry for the silence around here the last few days.  Megan’s in her finals week (her last one, I do believe), and I’ve been rather busy myself.  In fact, I’m not even making this post from home, so there’s that. The Mariners played a [...]

Breakfast Baseball

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 21, 2010

So, I’ll be honest with you for a second. I clean forgot that the M’s game was a 10:15 start, and it wasn’t until about 10:14 that I discovered that it was.  Fortunately, I got everything fired up for watching just in time to watch Ichiro take the third pitch of the ballgame into the [...]
