This is going to create a bigger mess because of the mess that the BBWAA has already created. Because there are a […] By Bliadd Drwg Somehow, the Mariners find themselves in the playoff hunt. Granted, this is more a result of luck than skill, but it is happening so the Mariners need to start thinking about making some sort of a move before the deadline. It won’t be easy because there are only about 8 teams in […] By Blaidd Drwg It has been a bad couple of weeks for former Mariners.

The game featured 28 strikeouts with 0 walks, which got me thinking – what is the MLB record for strikeouts in a game with no walks? Well, that would be […] By Blaidd Drwg I said in this post that I would revisit the points I made about the Mariners at the end of the month, so that is what I am doing. The team went 5-9 in the interim, losing 8 in a row and then winning 4 out of 5, so this team is […] By Blaidd Drwg I am writing this on a Monday and it will be posted on a Friday, so I am issuing the disclaimer that things may change in-between, but this makes my point. The Mariners spent the first 12ish days of the season in first place. Everyone here was overly excited that they started […] |
