Greg Halman, the young prospect who prowled the outfield for the Mariners last season, died early this morning in his native Netherlands. more ›

One of our city's baseball heroes got some bad news this week. For Mariners fans, even the off-season can bring crippling disappointment. more ›

In what is a surprise to no one, the Mariners failed to make the MLB playoffs this season. A 67-95 record has a way of doing that to a team. Just because the Ms are out though, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be excited for the playoffs. Here’s a few reasons why you should tune in. more ›

Baseball, bunnies and blooms brought feelings of goodwill this weekend. Of course by Monday, it had all gone to hell. But let's look back on the beautiful weekend that was. more ›

No matter how the Mariners play this season, we can all count on one thing - some pretty freakin' amusing conversation in the stands. It's Bleacher Banter on Overhead today. more ›

Sun, baseball, and boating, despite the looming threat of a government shut-down. Plus, further developments in this week's tragic murder-suicide in Spanaway. more ›

After starting the 2011 season with two wins over the Oakland A's, the M's have gone into a bit of a tailspin this past week, which included three straight losses to the still-undefeated Texas Rangers. more ›

Sure, the first official day of spring was a little over a week ago, but we're already due for the next season: Baseball season. more ›

Saturday afternoon, the late, great sports broadcaster Dave Niehaus was remembered at his home away from home, Safeco Field. Niehaus was the lead play-by-play announcer for the Seattle Mariners from their inaugural season in 1977, until his death after the 2010 season. Throughout the years, he has established himself as a Seattle icon who made the game of baseball come alive for fans viewing the game live and at home, and even for players on the field. At his celebration of life on Saturday, Niehaus was shown tribute through emotional and at times comical speeches of remembrance by his family, friends, and colleagues. more ›

While the Mariners' on-field play continues to leave a lot to be desired, one off-field moment this week gave M's fans a much-needed distraction: the major league baseball draft deadline. Once Monday night became Tuesday morning, all major league draft choices must have signed a contract, otherwise the drafting teams forfeited the player's rights. more ›

Today is the day the Mariners formally said, "Eh fuck it" to the 2010 baseball season. As we anticipated, but never quite fully accepted in our Seattle Sports Fan Delusion, the Mariners traded away pitcher Cliff Lee, to of all teams, divison rival Texas. So all of you who are sad to see him go, not to worry. We'll see plenty of him again in September when he's throwing complete games against us. more ›

Well that was fun while it lasted. Of all people to pop this little Bronx balloon ride the Mariners were on, of course it had to be A-Rod. After another set of back-to-back complete game wins by Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez, this time over the league-leading Yankees, suddenly we thought the M's could pull this thing out. Then A-Rod slapped a 2-run home run in the eight inning of today's game to beat the M's 4-2, prevent a sweep, and destroy our soul. What an asshole. more ›

If you've never been there, Yankee Stadium can be a scary place in the mind of a Seattleite. Growing up, we'd always thought it was a place where gunfire broke out at random, and anyone wearing another team's jersey got stabbed in the neck with a rusty screwdriver. more ›

Despite the best efforts of THE WORLD, the USA is moving on to the knockout rounds of the World Cup. And the way we're feeling right now, we could knock some people OUT. more ›

We’ve been a little distracted by the World Cup for the past 10 days, watching pretty much every match with the help of headphones on our work computer. Despite odd looks from coworkers, we’ll continue to cheer when appropriate. Yes, New Zealand just scored a goal, and I WILL MAKE YOU AWARE OF IT. Meanwhile, under our noses, the Mariners have provided some mercifully vuvuzela-free entertainment. more ›

Well, the long weekend is over, and incase you missed any of the local sports action nursing burns from the sun or an ill-fated barbecue, here’s a quick recap more ›

This weekend, the Sounders lost at home again, and so did the Mariners. The UW softball team continued to be awesome. This trio of plotlines has repeated itself enough that it’s starting to feel like that movie Groundhog Day. As we see it, the only way out of this endless cycle is for Bill Murray to sleep with Andie MacDowell, at which time it will become February 3, 1993, and we will be forced to relive puberty. more ›
