Dave Niehaus will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday morning, and if you haven't started driving yet, well, we don't think you'll be able to make it to Cooperstown by then.

The cost of fielding a perennially bad team may finally start hitting the Mariners in the bank account next season. The P-I is reporting that the M's will move to KIRO-AM next year in a $5.5 million per year deal for three seasons. This season, at KOMO-AM, the M's are earning $10 million in radio revenue. The huge reduction in radio revenue can be attributed to lower ratings, due to the team's poor performance as well as the growth of internet/satellite radio. The Mariners' broadcast crew will move with the team.

Mariner fans spent last night drinking champagne, and toasting Dave Niehaus’ selection to the Hall of Fame.

Great news comes for Seattle Mariners fans from Cooperstown today. (We would advise that you don't get too cozy with that phrase M's fans... 'cause it's not something you'll be hearing very often.) Beloved long time Mariners announcer, Dave Niehuas will be inducted into Cooperstown's Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Game's at 4:05 EST, the weather report is "definite light snow showers" from 11am-8pm, and "likely snow showers" after that.

It was the spring of 1989, and Ken Griffey Jr., a 19-year-old with 61 at bats above A-ball, embarrassed Cactus League pitchers and made the Mariners.

Which of the following will you not hear on a Mariners television broadcast this season:

The Mariners mood swing of a season continues tonight in Toronto. The blue and teal are three games under .500 and three games back of the first place A's and Rangers.

Yes, the M's won yesterday, pulling within 3.5 games of first-place Oakland. But not without another startling managerial gaffe. With runners on the corners, and two outs in the Dodgers fourth, Hargrove had Joel Pineiro pitch to the #8 hitter instead of walking him to get to the pitcher. Of course, the #8 hitter singled, driving in a run, and even Dave Niehaus, who is rarely critical, lamented "I don't understand why you don't walk that guy!" Neither do we, Dave.

We guarantee that sometime during this week's crucial series against Oakland, Dave Niehaus will employ the phrase "house of horrors" to describe McAfee Coliseum.

There are some Seattle sports fans who complain that our teams don't get enough national media attention. Yeah, we know it's true, and there are times when it irks us a bit, but we understand. Seriously, have you seen where we are on a map? Ultimately we really don't care because know it doesn't matter.

Rainier Beach, Seattlest's favorite high school hoops team, got upset in the state quarterfinals last night, by Lynden High. But, really, what chance did they stand against a team that has players with names like Dirk Dallas and Brady Bomber. Dallas had 19 points, Bomber had 15. Is this a high school basketball team or a 30's detective novel?

Ex-Houston Astros broadcaster Gene Elston is winner of the Ford Frick Broadcasting Award, and, as such, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer.

Ten years ago, this very day, was what Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus once described as "one terrible moment in Mariners history."

Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus, who has been with the team since its inception, has once again been snubbed by the Hall of Fame. Niehaus was a finalist for the Ford C. Frick award, which is given to baseball's best broadcasters.
