This 6-5-2-5-6-3-2 <em></em>Play Is Such A Glorious Mess
For all the focus on the length of baseball games, almost all individual baseball plays are very short. Extremely short! Under 10 seconds, and usually well under 10 seconds! This play is not extremely short. From when contact was made at the plate to when the final tag was made, the play lasted abou...

Real Big Dumbass Writes Real Dumb Column About Michael Bennett
Sometimes you run across a column that is just so plainly stupid and written in bad faith that it’s hard to muster the indignation necessary to give it a proper critique. How do you even begin to tell the guy eating his own feces that eating his own feces is bad?...
Michael Bennett Sits For National Anthem After Charlottesville Violence
Seahawks DE Michael Bennett became the latest NFL player to sit for the national anthem, ahead of Sunday’s preseason game against the Chargers. He referenced the still-unsigned Colin Kaepernick (of whom Bennett has said, “of course he’s being blackballed”), but Bennett said this weekend’s white supr...
Report: Malik McDowell's ATV Crash Could Cost Him His Entire Rookie Season
Seahawks second-round pick Malik McDowell hasn’t reported to training camp after he suffered “facial injuries” and a concussion in an ATV crash on July 30. McDowell said after the accident that his injuries weren’t life- or career-threatening, but his recovery will take a while, and could eat into h...
A's Trade All-Star Yonder Alonso To Mariners For Their Own Dang Prospect
The Oakland Athletics, 8.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot and owners of the second-worst record in the American League, have traded their representative at the 2017 All-Star Game to the Seattle Mariners, for Boog Powell, once a 20th-round draft pick of, that’s right, the Oakland Athletics....
Frank Clark Injures Teammate With "Flying Punch"
Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark was kicked off the practice field yesterday after injuring left tackle Germain Ifedi in a fight. There isn’t any video footage of the fight, but according to writers who were on the scene, Clark hit Ifedi with a fairly devastating punch....

Rays And Mariners Make Weird Trade
The Rays and Mariners made a weird trade this morning, completing an exchange of right-handed relievers that they seem to think will help them both capture the playoff spot for which they are directly competing. The Rays will send Erasmo Ramirez back to Seattle and will get Steve Cishek in return. ...
Richard Sherman On Cussing Out Russell Wilson: "Iron Sharpens Iron"
Back in May, ESPN’s Seth Wickersham published a thoroughly reported story about the tension that exists between the Seahawks’ defensive and offensive units. One particularly memorable scene had star cornerback Richard Sherman intercepting quarterback Russell Wilson during a June 2014 practice, and t...
Mariners Trade Four Prospects For David Phelps, Believe In Themselves
Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto is feeling bullish about his team, judging by the medium-interesting trade he made today for reliever David Phelps, which will send four low-ranked prospects to Miami....
Richard Sherman: "Players Have To Be Willing To Strike"
Because the ESPYs are the only source of sports information tonight, this Richard Sherman update comes straight from the red carpet. In an interview with Jalen Rose, Sherman gave his unsurprisingly unfiltered view on the NFLPA and their need for strength in labor negotiations....
Clint Dempsey 94th-Minute Goal Earns Draw For Short-Handed Seattle
Clint Dempsey silenced a Portland crowd—briefly, before they picked up a chant telling him to fuck himself—with a stoppage-time goal that earned his Seattle Sounders a 2-2 draw in their rivalry matchup against the Timbers....
Jarrod Dyson Bunts To Break Up Justin Verlander's Perfect Game In The Sixth Inning
For a while tonight, Justin Verlander looked as sharp as he ever has. Through the first out of the sixth inning, he was perfect, with 10 strikeouts for his stat line and the cushion of a 4-0 lead. And then Jarrod Dyson decided that he was okay with flouting convention in order to give himself the be...
Enjoy Mike Zunino's Beautiful Month
Before the start of last season, Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto declared 2016 to be “The Year of Mike Zunino.” Simply put, it wasn’t. Most of the season was spent in Triple-A, and while he showed some marked improvement at the plate during his weeks with the big-league club, it wasn’t...
Catcher Carlos Ruiz Pitched And Struck Someone Out
Carlos Ruiz had played 1,109 games in his career before Tuesday. The longtime Phillies catcher, now with the Seattle Mariners, had only played two other positions: An inning at third base during extra-inning games with the Phils in 2008 and 2011, and an inning at first earlier this season. Last nigh...
The Twins Unleashed High-Powered Offensive Chaos On The Poor Mariners
If you’re looking for a single image to serve as an encapsulation of the Mariners’ 20-7 loss against the Twins tonight, it’s tempting to go with starter Christian Bergman grimacing after allowing his first home run of the night or doing the same after his second home run or exiting in the third inni...
The Blue Jays And Mariners Were Like Sweet Children Out There
The Toronto Blue Jays brought a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning last night in Seattle. Jarrod Dyson, an extremely fast man who plays for the Mariners, led off the inning with a single to center field. Down a run late, you just knew the Mariners were gonna get Dyson moving on the base ...
The NFL Machine Has Finally Beaten Colin Kaepernick<em></em>
This week, the Seahawks signed Austin Davis to back up Russell Wilson. I don’t need to tell you that Austin Davis is a shitty quarterback. He didn’t play a single snap in 2016, and in 2015 he started two games for Cleveland and promptly committed five turnovers. In terms of statistics, physical attr...
Seahawks Think Colin Kaepernick Is Overqualified To Play For The Seahawks
The Seahawks have found another backup for quarterback Russell Wilson. It just won’t be Colin Kaepernick, who apparently is too good for the job....
