Welcome to the latest, and hopefully, the greatest Mariners blog in cyberspace.

In the coming days, weeks, and possibly years, this will be the place to learn all about the Mariners as they attempt to return to the top of the AL West and deep into the playoffs.

My mission is to give the readers a glimpse of what happens in the clubhouse and on the field. If a trade is made, hopefully this will be the first place to have the news.

Anyway, sit back, click on and enjoy the blog. Feel free to say good things about it and, if you must, say not-so-good things as well.
