Do you ever feel so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? If so, you can probably relate to the Mariners' 2011 season, already rather close to collapse after just seven games. more ›

Dave Niehaus is going to be memorialized on maps, Dan Savage will appear in the TV guide, and your hard-earned money no longer has to go to Nick Lachey if you live in Tacoma. more ›

Seattle hip-hop emcee Macklemore has been on fire lately, and this may very well be his year to shine. Just last week, Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, did the unthinkable by selling out his February 25th headlining show at the Showbox during ticket presales. A second show was then added, and that too sold out within days. more ›

Seattlest will be counting down to 2011 with a series of posts on our highlights of this year and what we're looking forward to in the next. Got a list to suggest? Send it our way. See the entire series here. 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 ›

As we passed by Safeco Field last Thursday, a humbling sight brought our car to a stop at the nearest possible spot. We backtracked on foot looking at the enormous head shots of present Mariners. Rounding the corner of First Avenue South and Edgar Martinez Drive, the humbling sight once again came into view. Dozens and dozens of flower bouquets lined the entrance gate to the stadium. Signs littered the gate itself as well as the ground with notes of loss, love, and admiration for the legendary announcer. We may be fair-weather baseball fans in Seattle, but we are loyal to to those who love the game. Dave, you are definitely missed. more ›

Thanksgiving is always a time to reflect and, by the restorative powers of gravy, realize that no matter how much we think our life sucks, it actually doesn’t suck all that bad. So in that spirit, we thought it would be appropriate to highlight the things a sports lover in Seattle can still be thankful for. We tried to do a Top 10, but, um, we couldn’t come up with that many. more ›

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. more ›

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. more ›

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

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. more ›

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

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. more ›

In yesterday's NL Division Series game vs. the Mets, the Dodgers' Jeff Kent and J.D. Drew got tagged out at home on the same play (video available here). more ›

This is Mariner pitcher Mark Lowe. In April, while you were living in the same city you are now, working the same job, Lowe was in Lancaster, California, pitching for the Inland Empire 66ers of the California League, against such baseball powerhouses as the Modesto Nuts. more ›

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. more ›

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. more ›

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. more ›

Sixteen years ago today Randy Johnson threw the first no-hitter in Mariners history. The 6'10'' lefthander scattered 6 walks in the 2-0 victory over Detroit. more ›

Interleauge play begins again this weekend. In baseball stadiums all over the West geographical rivals will stare each other down: Oakland vs. San Francisco, Houston vs. Texas, Los Angeles of Los Angeles vs. Los Angeles of Anaheim, and Seattle vs. San Diego. more ›

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. more ›

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? more ›

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. more ›
