In an interview that will air tonight after the M's game, Ken Griffey, Jr. tells FSN that he wants to retire as a Mariner:

Would I [come back]? Yeah. For the simple reason that this is the place where I grew up. And I think I owe it to the people of Seattle and to myself to retire as a Mariner.

All will be right with the world on Friday night when Ken Griffey Jr. steps into a Seattle batter's box. Mariners fans with any amount of brain will be on their feet pounding their hands together a-smiling like the Joker, except us. We will be missing the moment that we’ve been waiting for since 2000 because of our friend’s wedding--we are doing a great deal of breathing into a paper bag this week. more ›

Last year Eddie Guardado had a terrible April and lost the M's closer job to J.J. Putz. He thought Mike Hargrove would give him a chance to win his job back, but, in his mind, he didn't get that chance. And he's not happy. more ›

Every year, major league baseball teams invite about 20 players to Spring Training who have little to no chance of making the team. They are called non-roster invitees. more ›

When you hear the name "Dave Edler," you, like us, automatically think, "Oh, of course, the right-handed-hitting third baseman who spent parts of four seasons (1980-83) with the Mariners." more ›

We don't know what the most scarring experience of your early 20s was-- a disastrous relationship, a lengthy illness, a deep body massage from these guys--but ours was suffering through the late innings of each and every 1997 Seattle Mariners game, as the washouts and has-beens the team collected for its bullpen found new and inventive methods of losing games. more ›

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

Seattlest once had a choice between Saturday and Sunday Mets games, and we chose Saturday because the schedule read "Free Mets Jersey Day." We thought to ourselves, "Score!" It will likely surprise no reader that the "jersey" in question was a thin t-shirt with jersey styling (v-neck, buttons down the front) printed on it. We laughed and laughed.

Since the team's lineup is mostly set, it will probably be a boring spring, as there will be few position battles to generate excitement. This is a good thing.
