Felix is ours.
I was seven years old when I had my heart broken for the first time. Funnily enough, it wasn’t by the Mariners. The year was 2001. The Mariners had lost in the ALCS the year before, but I was too young to understand what that meant. My brain must have undergone some maturation that winter […]

Hey Tim, Last time I wrote* was to exalt. Today it’s in desolation. Mariners baseball, huh? Last night, your Seattle Mariners lost Game 7 of the ALCS to the Toronto Blue Jays. I refuse to get into bullpen management discourse with you again, but suffice to say that it was a heartbreaker. That’s kind of […]
I have a lot to say about this season, but for now, I will just say thank you to everyone who stuck with us during this long ride and never gave up. This is the best Mariners team I have ever witnessed in my 22 years of existence and I am forever grateful to share […]
It was always going to Game 7. The Mariners have given fans a magical ride this season, but they haven’t always made it easy. Whether extra-inning games, or late-inning heroics, or winning streaks followed by losing streaks, or pushing things to the make-or-break moments, the Mariners have been playing Game 7 in one form or […]

One more “never been done before in team history” tonight; this is the first and last time we will say this: The Mariners are playing in their first-ever Game 7 of the ALCS tonight for the opportunity to go to the World Series. Regardless of what happens tonight, what a ride it’s been. Lineups: The […]
The fires are mild this summer. I know because we’ve journeyed east on schedule. It will be five years before my window for this time shrinks from a Carlos Vargas target to George Kirby’s. Five years til we go from seasons of adventure to a weekend in August, sandwiched between 80 of my baseball games […]

The Mariners will play in their first ever Game 7. The Mariners lost 6-2 on Sunday in a sloppy, bad ALCS Game 6. A shaky outing from Logan Gilbert and poor defense behind him allowed the Blue Jays to get out to an early lead. The lineup struggled to get much going at the plate […]

One. Win. Away. Game 6 tonight. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Dan Wilson and the Mariners announced at a pregame conference on Saturday that Logan Gilbert will take the mound for Game 6 of the ALCS. The Blue Jays will also run back their Game 2 starter, starting rookie Trey Yesavage. Gilbert didn’t have a strong outing against the Blue Jays in Game 2, getting bailed […]
There is no freeze at the corner of Edgar and Dave. Strangers are hugging in the stands, dancing together outside the gates, exchanging high fives as they pass along First Ave. Our extended Seattle summer is winding down, but there is a warmth around the ballpark – around the city, the region, the Mariners fandom […]
After an injury riddled 18 months of rehab, backfield games, and physical therapy, Jonny Farmelo, one of the top Mariner farm hands and a consensus top one hundred prospect in the game, is putting on a clinic in the Arizona Fall League and proving he’s worthy of his lofty rankings despite a somewhat limited track […]
Helloooooooooooo everyone and happy Saturday! It’s a Mariners off-day while they travel to Toronto to end the ALCS. Let’s enjoy this day of rest while we have it. MLB playoff scores… In Mariners news… Around the league…
Eugenio Suárez’s catchphrase “Good Vibes Only” is so well-known, it’s on the wall of the clubhouse. It’s easy to focus on the positive, inspirational throw-pillow aspects of the slogan: good vibes! It’s easy to say, and very hard to do, especially in baseball, a game that seems to delight in humbling people. A game that […]
On April 6, 1977, Diego Seguí threw out the first pitch in Mariners history. He walked Jerry Remy, and the Angels eventually shut out Seattle 7-0. They shut them out the next day too. That year, the Mariners would go 64-98, and the New York Yankees became the American League Champions. On April 11, 1984, […]
