Everyone has their own favorite flavor of game. Some like the laughers. Some love the pitching duels (those are way up there for me, to be clear, 1-0 being perhaps my favorite score when it doesn’t come after 18 innings…
Houston 2, Seattle 1 (29-22)
This one stings. The Mariners’ streak of 7 straight road series wins ended yesterday in brutal fashion, during a Bryan Woo start in which the M’s surrendered no earned runs and no runs at all after the first inning. Both…
Seattle 4, San Diego 1 (25-19)
So, uh, it’s been a minute. I assure you I’ve still been watching and listening and following almost as much as normal. And thinking and rising and falling with the team as usual. But it’s been amidst an exhausting spate…
Seattle 5, Sacramento 3 (21-14)
I really wanted to write about each piece of the Texas series, especially the two epic wins that brought the Mariners to 20-12 and made us feel invincible, riding a 6-game winning streak, 8-series winning streak, and winning both ways…
Seattle 9, Los Angeles (AL) 3 (18-12)
Let’s first note that I’m writing this on May 2nd about a game that ended before night fully fell on April 30. I will pull strongly from feelings on both days. But let’s start by focusing on the setting on…
Seattle 5, Los Angeles (AL) 3 (17-12)
It doesn’t feel quite like 2001 yet, but I can start to see a passing resemblance. I think one of the coolest things to witness as a sports fan is someone being so deep in the zone that they even…
Seattle 14, Miami 0 (15-12)
Ahem. Look, I’m not necessarily one to, er, tweet my own horn, but I have to call attention to two tweets (Xes?) I made regarding the Mariners over the off-season that seem to be manifesting as at least vaguely prophetic.…
Seattle 8, Boston 5 (13-11)
Now that, by contrast, was fun! Your Seattle Mariners have won 3 of their last 4 games by scoring exactly 8 runs. Eight runs! This is an incredible, well, run, and demonstrates that with a few hitters getting hot and…
Boston 8, Seattle 3 (12-11)
Well that was no fun. Is this how Blue Jay fans felt over the weekend? Yuck. This was a close and competitive game. And then it wasn’t. Polanco hit a big fly to open things up after Leadoff Julio (something…
Seattle 8, Toronto 3 (12-10)
It’s hard to imagine two more disparate games with such similar scores as the last two wins for the M’s in Toronto, 8-4 in 12 yesterday and 8-3 in 9 today. The former was hard-scrabble, back-and-forth, runs at a premium,…
