There was a column a few days ago in the Houston Chronicle that made a very compelling argument concerning the Texans and Head Coach Gary Kubiak. The crux of the opinion was based on a comparison with the early stages of Coach Kubiak’s career and that of Jeff Fisher of the now Tennessee Titans. It asked us to be patient, with Kubiak and brought up some interesting truths.

The Mariners once again lost on Wednesday night, falling to 15.5 games out of first in the A.L. West. Once again, the pitching struggled, as Miguel Batista failed to lead them to victory. I have a simple solution to the problem that is our starting pitching, and although it may not solve the entire problem, it can not hurt it. Start R.A. Dickey. RA has had two very strong outings in a row out of the bullpen, and in all honestly has looked stronger than any pitcher outside of Bedard/Felix this year. It can't get any worse for the

There was not much to cheer for as the Mariners tallied another loss after J.J. Putz gave up 4 earned runs in the 9th inning, earning his fourth blown save of the season and ballooning his ERA to 5.60. However, fans could leave the game with some optimism after seeing another electrifying, but familiarly short outing from Brandon Morrow.

Mariners fans experienced another failed experiment by Mastermind and GM Bill Bavasi on Sunday night, watching Carlos Silva get shelled by the Tigers for 7 ER in 2/3 of an inning. After receiving a 4 year, $48 million contract in December, Silva has been horrible recently. In his last six starts, Silva is 0-5 with an 11.00 ERA. Though he did show promise at the outset of the season, a player doesn't earn $14 million a year by showing potential. The thing is, all Silva has produced over his career has been potential and just as much disappointment. He has only had two winning seasons as a starter, and his last two years with the Minnesota Twins he had an ERA of 5.94 and 4.19 respectively. How does a player like this end up getting the second biggest free agent pitcher contract last offseason? Easy, Bill Bavasi. But Silva isn't the only one cashing in on Bavasi's shopping spree, overpaid players have littered the M's roster in recent years.

As Mariners' fans parade through the streets of Seattle following their unbelieveable consecutive wins (for only the second time this month) over the Red Sox, it's important to note which players really stepped up to make it possible.

The Seattle Mariners once again lost on Memorial Day, and have now fallen to a sickly 18 games under .500. This is not the start that both management and fans thought they would have this year, and many are growing impatient with how the season has gone. Many rumors have been flying about different trades, one major scenario involving Jarrod Washburn. Another trade possibility that I would not be surprised to see in the next couple months if the

If you have been watching the Mariners lately, you know that there is something wrong with this team. Many people say that they just need to shake up the roster in order to be successful. In my eyes, if you are wanting to shake up the roster, shake up the Front Office first. That way, the new players you bring in will be evaluated and acquired by new management, one who hopefully knows what they are doing.

The Mariners won a great game today. The pitching kept the team in it, and
the hitting came through in the clutch. Overall, this is just what the
Mariners needed.

Four games into the season and the Mariners have already suffered an injury that will likely be a lingering injury throughout the season. Closer JJ Putz, with an injury to his ribcage is out for atleast 15 days and it will likely be longer until he his back to the dominant closer we saw last season.

With a huge boost for the pitching staff in Erik Bedard the Mariners are hoping to become a more well rounded team. If King Felix pitches like he can, and Bedard can repeat his success then the

grew up in Cincinnati and has family ties in that region he has created more memorable moments in a Mariners uniform.
One of the classic moments in baseball came in the 1995 ALDS where Griffey scored from first on an Edgar Martinez double. This classic moment became known as “the slide”. There is nothing that Seattle fans would like more than to see Griffey a the plate for one more season, or to see him standing in right field at the beautiful Safeco Field.

Former Seattle Mariners pitchers Jamie Moyer and Randy Johnson are two of the most unique pitchers in the game. Two distinct styles, two completely different pitchers, one result, success.
