Seattle Mariners

After decades of haplessness, the Mariners have improved to a wildly uneven team that won 116 games in 2001, lost 99 in 2004, and are back in contention in 2007 behind a prolific offense and spotty pitching

      Move Over, Yogi, and Make Room for Ichiro

      Seattle Mariners star Ichiro Suzuki says some weird stuff, from reporting conversations with his dog to odd metaphors about bowling. Slate studies the Japanese import's bons mots and suggests that Suzuki may be unused to the American media's unending locker room interviews. Or perhaps, one reporter says, he's trying to call attention away from his ridiculously lucrative contract. More »

      Mariners Lock in Ichiro for 5 More Years

      Ichiro Suzuki is officially the highest-paid Mariner of all time. The 33-year-old Japanese import signed a 5-year extension worth $90 million this week and is now sewn up through 2012. Seattle worked hard to secure its leadoff man, who was a hot item with deep-pocketed clubs like the Yankees even before hitting the first inside-the-park homer in All-Star Game history. More »

      Mariners Manager Burns Out

      With his team on a seven-game streak, 11 games above .500, Seattle manager Mike Hargrove quit today, explaining that 35 years in the business had simply left him too depleted to continue. Bench coach John McLaren will take over. GM Bill Bavasi, while supportive, acknowledged that Hargrove's departure left the team in a state of uncertainty. More »

      MVP Howard Slams Out Of Slump

      Six shutout innings by D-Backs ace Randy Johnson went for naught after he loaded the bases in the seventh; struggling slugger Ryan Howard, last year's NL MVP, golfed the first pitch he saw from reliever Brandon Medders and put Philadelphia up for good. The Phillies won, 9-3. More »

      Sox Submarine Seattle In Fenway Debut

      After four snowed-out days in Cleveland, the Mariners' nightmare roadtrip continued at Fenway. The Sox chased former Cardinals World Series hero Jeff Weaver with seven runs in two innings en route to a 14-3 win; Boston leadoff man Julio Lugo got on base four times in the first four frames. Meanwhile, Beckett held Seattle to an existentially bleak one run in seven innings, thrice striking out Ichiro Suzuki. More »
