Today’s Question of the day comes from yesterday’s Moose Tracks via poster Tuojiangoland: Never has the best answer ever been a more “EVERYONE!!!” answer than right here, but for the sake of conversation, let’s say the Mariners can and will only choose one Mariners starting pitcher to offer a long term contract extension. Who do […]

Upon the departure of Mitch Garver, the Mariners entered this winter with a hole in their catching corps. Wait, what? I don’t need to get into how magnificent Cal Raleigh’s historic 2025 was here. You know it. I know it. The girl reading this knows it. What may have fallen through in his charge to […]

In Mariners news… Around the league… Shameless self-promotion alert: I (Kate) am hijacking Becca’s links post to say that this Saturday, so tomorrow, my friends who took over Kate’s Pub in Wallingford—now known as The Rebel—are hosting a Heated Rivalry watch party/trivia night starting at 5 PM. I spent all night making buttons for it […]

As a child in Catholic school I was taught the difference between want and need. Needs: food, shelter, water, clean air to breathe. Wants were everything else, always tinged with a suspicion of selfishness. The implication was clear: wants were excessive, amoral, ungodly. So as a kid I never asked at a birthday party for […]

At two on the ante meridium, you’ll find me asleep. Most nights, this is no guarantee. Fiddling and futzing, filming and flamming, the unobserved hours of night offer me nourishing ease for my brain’s constructive efforts. It’s your fault, really, and Dominic Canzone is one of you, to be so damned compelling that in the […]

Joining our 2026 prospect rankings at #19 overall, Beilenson is our first of a few pure relief prospects we’ll see on the back half of our rankings this year.

We all know Henri Matisse the painter, with his vivid use of color and bold brushstrokes, leading with emotion over realism (distinct characteristics of Fauvism, so named after critics referred to the artists of the movement as fauves, or “wild beasts”). But in his later years, declining health made painting inaccessible, so he shifted to […]

Grief is frightening territory to navigate. There’s no set roadmap for it, and it affects every person differently. It is as if a chaotic roommate moves into your body and assumes the controls part of the time: you make choices you don’t recognize; say things and wonder whose mouth made those words; sleep entirely too […]

The Super Bowl always, for me, marks the transition between the end of Other Sports season and the beginning of Baseball Season. Pitchers and catchers report this week, players are already in Arizona, and it feels like we’re ready to start grinding on the 2026 season. It’s an especially exciting one, with the Mariners’ deep […]

There’s one pitch that sums up Eduard Bazardo’s 2025 season. I don’t need to beat around the bush, we all know it. Let’s just roll the clip and get it over with: Bleh. Thank goodness that’s over with, no more MLB Network re-runs needed. On July 12th, in the bottom of the 8th inning, against […]

Since I was a young child, I’ve had a deep pre-occupation with outer space, particularly the solar system. While the rest of the universe is obviously deeply fascinating, the solar system is so much more observable. We get to know stuff about it. That rocks. In particular, I’ve always been drawn to trans-Neptunian space – […]
