By Josh Opening day felt so good. I love spring training but watching major league baseball that actually counts just seems so much more fulfilling. Having watched a few highlights and the games that I got to sit down and watch I realized a few things. The first thing I learned is that I want…
By Josh: Sunday afternoon The King, Felix Hernandez, went out and demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. He has a major league leading 6 wins (tied with Bartolo Colon), tied for fourth in strike outs, and has a dominating 1.85 ERA. Along with his outstanding stats…
Opening day is just one day in a very long season but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn some important things. In fact I would dare say we learned more then we could ever have hoped for about this upcoming season. (In case you don’t figure it out there might be some sarcasm in these…
As a baseball fan I usually enjoy reading about who the so called “experts” think will win all the major awards. Most picks are pretty generic but every once in a while someone will pick a sleeper and get it right. I am by no means an expert but I am a huge baseball fan.…

By Josh: After reading Trevor’s tribute to his favorite team, the Tampa Bay Rays, I decided I should do a year in review for my favorite team, the Seattle Mariners. First thing I made it to a grand total of zero games in Seattle this year. I’m a little disappointed in myself but with this…
By Kelly: It only took a little less than a month but I finally made it up to Seattle to see a Mariner’s game. And of course they were playing the California Angels of Anaheim and you know I had to be sitting right next to one of their fans. I don’t mind at all…
By Josh: As I’ve mentioned in the past getting autographs for me is more about finding a connection with the game I love and the players, rather than it being about bragging rights. Now I do brag at times about some of the guys I have gotten (Ken Griffey Jr., Matt Kemp, Tommy Lasorda, and Felix…
By Josh R: When I first started thinking about what this World Series would be like I immediately thought about the pitching on both teams. Verlander and Fister for the Tigers up against Cain, Vogelsong and Bumgarner for the Giants. Game 1 kind of surprised me. With Verlander on the mound, who I put in…
