Posted on01. May, 2011 by Kinger.
Riding high on a monumental 5 game winning streak and rekindling the dream runs in 1995 and 2001, your Seattle Mariners went for the 3-game sweep of those nefarious Boston Red Sox at Fenway with their Cy Young winner on the mound and yellow ear plugs firmly planted on the bench.

Posted on09. Apr, 2011 by Kinger.
Lets give it up for Doug Fister, ladies and gentlemen. Six innings, 1 earned run and 3 Ks, oh yeah, and the loss. Such is life for a Mariners pitcher: give up one run, go home with an “L.” Six straight games, six straight loses for the M’s. We all know the M’s offense stinks, [...]

Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all, right? After winning the first two in Dumpland, and seeking only their third 3-0 start in franchise history (yeah, that’s a real stat) of course the Mariners reverted to 5th grade status, kicked the ball around, blamed it on the sun, and went home with a 7-1 loss.

Posted on28. Mar, 2011 by Kinger.
By Jack Broom, Seattle Times staff reporter. It will probably never replace Ichiro Bobblehead Night, but Mariners fans at several games this season are likely to be offered a freebie they haven’t seen at Safeco Field before:Compost.
