Let's get really crazy and talk about the Canadian Mariners Draft Picks Traded As Prospects Connection of Tyler O'Neill and Adam Macko.

(I just said this to mention Macko grew up where a lot of my mom's family is from.)

I've been enjoying telling people about Erasmo not only pitching for Nicaragua, but somehow still being just 35 years old.

The WBC rules. This could be an awesome one in particular for instances of Mariners-on-Mariners matchups. So I made a list.

A truly epic Sufjan Stevens song I saw him play at The Paramount in 2006 that he has never released.

Check out the Seattle Kraken! Really white-knuckled through the end of it but a huge game by Joey Daccord to win 2-1 despite being way outshot by one of the best teams in the league.

Cole Young absolutely unloaded for a left-on-left homer. File that under "Things That Are Nice To See." #Mariners

The Saint Mary's crowd has been the worst kind of fans tonight. The chants at Graham Ike were 1. Not clever, and 2. Bad. And then they broke out "overrated," which always sells their own team's accomplishment short.

Still, great game played by Saint Mary's. They deserved to beat Gonzaga tonight.

How much sooner does Edgar Martinez get voted into the Hall of Fame if MVP voters in 1995 voted like they do today? Because good lord there's no way he's not winning MVP with these stats. And seriously, what was so amazing about Mo Vaughn's season to them?

I thought this was a joke about how poorly Brady Tkachuk handled the last few days but no this is actually just a fully accurate description of what he just did in a hockey game that’s happening right now

The on-air rapport of John Forslund and Eddie Olczyk during Kraken games is reminding me of Dave Niehaus and Ron Fairly. They're having fun and making the broadcast super entertaining.

State of Seattle Kraken: Playoffs in sight after break - Seattle Sports It's been three weeks since the Seattle Kraken hit the ice together for an NHL game, but now that they're back, business is really about to pick up.

State of the Seattle Kraken: With the Olympic break over, today starts a two-month sprint to the playoffs -- and the Kraken currently hold a postseason spot.

Here's a look at a few things to catch you up on where they stand, including on the trade market.

Seattle Mariners' Anderson, Sloan impressing beyond Ks - Seattle Sports As impressive as their stuff has been, the poise displayed by Seattle Mariners prospects Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan has been off the charts.

One's goal is to punch tickets. The other? He's just here to strike out batters.

But top #Mariners pitching prospects Ryan Sloan & Kade Anderson are turning heads this spring for more than their words and impressive stuff.

So how many of you know that Terry Gannon, the play-by-play announcer for Olympic figure skating with Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, was on the Jim Valvano-coached 1983 NC State national championship basketball team?

Lost year led Seattle Mariners OF to new offseason focus After injuries contributed to a down 2025 season, Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley did something different over the winter to prepare for this year.

Luke Raley was a bright spot while collecting two hits in the #Mariners' Cactus League opener.

After injuries led to a challenging 2025 season, Raley went to work with a new focus over the winter, @shannondrayer.bsky.social reports.

You know, I have full confidence Canada will return the favor to the US in the World Baseball Classic.

This is the play that won the game. No OT if Hellebuyck doesn't do this.

Yeah, my team lost. But at least I never had to root for a Tkachuk.

Been watching the CBC broadcast while texting with my Canadian mom as we live and die with every shot. That 4:45 a.m. alarm was absolutely worth it 🍁

And now I'm laughing at how smart Saint-Supery was to make the move to draw the fifth foul on Allen Graves. Cinema.

Refs singlehandedly put Santa Clara back into the game against Gonzaga. Two phantom calls on Ike were especially egregious, putting him on the bench with four fouls.
