It's Official The Mariners Lose

Tuesday evening the Mariners lost to

the Angels 2-1 in another close game

in Anaheim. 

The Angels scored first in the fifth

inning. The Mariners scored in the

top of the sixth when Dominic Canzone 

hit a triple that almost was a home run.

Julio hit a hard double to bring in Canzone 

to tie the game. Unfortunately no one was 

able to bring him home. The Orioles 

scored a run in the bottom of the sixth

on a homer that didn't go over the fence.

Almost the whole month of August we

heard how the Mariners have the easiest 

schedule between them, the Astros and

Rangers. The Mariners are playing mostly 

teams under .500. The record this month

in this date the Mariners are 6-8. 

The Mariners started September winning

the first two games against the Red Sox.

A good beginning and promise.  The Mariners 

then lost three out of four to the Athletics 

at home. They took two out of three against 

the Rangers. Maybe they will be on a role.

Again the Athletics took it to them winning 

two out of the three. Now the Mariners lost 

both games to the Angels. Wednesday 

evening they play again will the Mariners 

get swept we will see. Thankfully they don't 

play on Thursday.  Friday thru Sunday the

Mariners are in Colorado to play the Rockies.

They should win but will they.   

Last year the Mariners missed the World 

Series by one swing. The Mariners were

favored to win the division and hopefully 

play in the World Series. This year was a

down year for the American League West

the worst in the majors. They could have

won the division easily but they didn't 

play any better than anyone.  Going into

these two series against the Athletics 

and the Angels they had the best record

against them then any division they face.

The Mariners are now 70-82 with ten games

remaining so they will end the season with

a losing record even if they win all ten games.

Depending how these games go right now

the have a solid D score on the season. 

If the Mariners plan to fire Dan Wilson I 

hope they do it before Friday.  It would be

nice to fire Dipoto to but they probably 

won't. Go M's.

Washington State Cougars Lose Wide Receiver

The Washington State Cougars announced 

Monday that their number one receiver Tony

Freeman is out for the season with a torn

ACL. Freeman was also their return man on

special teams. 

Freeman was injured in the Apple Cup just 

like two of the Huskies running backs were.

The Cougars are looking at a four man 

rotation among their wide receivers. Though

they go with three receivers it is possible 

they will go with two tight ends more often.

They may have to add one of the less experience 

receivers to the group to gain playing time.

The Cougars are much   like Huskies where they

struggling on the offense. Against Kansas State 

they threw for only 67 yards while running game 

did go over one hundred yards. 

The Huskies have struggled more on the running 

game though Desmond Williams Jr somewhat in

the passing game too.

Cougars quarterback Caden Pinnick didn't handle 

it well in post conference on Saturday.  So on 

Monday in his press conference be apologized 

on his actions. A transfer he didn't have the

issues at UC Davis.  So we will see how he 

and the Cougars do this coming Saturday.

The team they play isn't up to the level of

Washington and Kansas State  defenses. 

Go Cougars.

Mariners Lose Again On the Road

September the Mariners were expected to

go on a good winning streak to be in

the race for the playoffs.  

The Astros and the Rangers were get 

back in the pack since they were playing 

s difficult schedule. The Mariners playing

the bottom two teams in the AL West. 

The worst division in baseball. 

The Mariners came home after winning 

two games at Boston. They lost three 

out of four against the Athletics in

Seattle.  They followed by beating the

Rangers teo out of three. Something 

that would have been good if they 

had beaten the Athletics three out of

four instead as expected.

The Mariners are now on the last road

trip of the season. They are playing in 

they have been eliminated from the

playoffs like the Athletics and the Angels.

Over the weekend at Sacramento two

of the three against the Athletics they

lost they did at home. The middle game

they beat them 19-1 like a revenge but

Sunday they went right back like have

for a while losing. 

On Monday night they play the Angels 

im Anaheim. This was the first team 

in the American League be eliminated 

from the playoffs. The Mariners have

something to play for while the Angels 

don't. The Mariners play again as they

have more recently. They might as well 

pack in since they are playing this way.

The Angels score two runs in the first

innings which has been common a lot

too. The Angels scored two more in

the third inning.  The top of the 4th 

Cal Raleigh hits a three run homer 

so here we go the Mariners may win

after all. Kade Anderson has been

struggling in this one unlike his

previous start. He gave up a run 

in the bottom of the fifth.  He leaves 

with one out.

Cooper Criswell comes in and we

hope  he stops the bleeding however

he gives up another run. The Mariners 

are now down by three. How they have

played recently except last Saturday 

it would be hard to come back from

a three run deficit.  They are playing the 

Angels and have four innings to turn 

it around.  

The Mariners scored one more run

which isn't enough in the 7th inning.

JP Crawford hits a home run which

shouldn't surprise us.  The weakness 

of the Mariners comes up. 

Interesting the Mariners have a winning

record at home against lefties at 9-8.

On the road they are now 5-12.  The 

Mariners win at home because the pitchers

have a good earn run average. The 

interesting thing is they hit better on the

road than at home but they give up a

one run more on the road. 

What makes this frustrating is the

Mariners have a record of 70-81.

They have to win all remaining games

which is eleven to go 81-81.  Don't 

think it will happen.  Another thing 

is the Angels have won only 57

games and the Mariners have won 

more games against their division 

than any other. 

This team not only having problems 

overcoming their weaknesses which 

I include the management decisions 

starting with Jerry Dipoto to Dan Wilson. 

Most figure that Dan Wilson will be

fired or he will resign. In my opinion 

again Dipoto should too. In fact I like

to see it before this road trip is over.

This way the fans will have something 

besides bad memories.

The final score Angels 6 Mariners 4

Logan Gilbert starts on Tuesday the

Angels will start a right hander so

Laz Montes will start it looks like.

He has been one of the bright spots.

I which the Mariners would start him

against some lefties to see if he

can hit against some of them. 

Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Lose Another Player

The Washington Huskies offense has had

trouble since the beginning of the season 

though only two weeks gone by.

After the Apple Cup it was announced 

that the teams top two running backs

would miss a bunch of time. 

It was announced this Monday that wide

receiver Christian Moss one of the starters

is going to be out two or three months 

with a lower body injury. Moss a transfer

player missed spring camp with an injury.

 Not sure it is the same.

Neither the running or passing game is

up to what the Huskies expected. After

the game Coach Jeff Fisch said we would 

have to look at his part to possibly with

the play calling.

At this juncture it doesn't look like the 

Huskies don't have a number one receiver.

Whether they need one of the the passing

game was what they expected. It will be

interesting to see what happens in practice 

even before they play Eastern Washington 

on Saturday. Even if they win again they 

have to have a much better performance 

before facing Minnesota the next week 

to start the Big Ten schedule. Go Dawgs. 

NFC West Three Way Tie

Not only did the Seattle Seahawks win

in week one of the NFL season so did

the San Francisco 49ers who beat the

LA Rams and the Arizona Cardinals 

upsetting the LA Chargers.

The Seahawks will be playing the 

Cardinals next Sunday in Arizona 

so only one team will be undefeated 

between the too. 

With Sam Darnold out we are hoping

even a better game from Drew Lock.

We hope Darnold be back in week

three however we will get further 

news possibly this week. We will get

news on the other guys who missed 

week one on the defensive side.

The Cardinals on the other side have

s new starting quarterback this season 

in Jacoby Brissett a veteran quarterback 

who is in his second season with the 

Cardinals.  Brissett actually start 12 games

last year when Murray was out who is

now with Minnesota Vikings.

Brissett did start and play in the second

game in Seattle for the Cardinals. He

completed 22 of 44 passes for  258

yards and two touchdowns. 

This well be the first match up for Jadarian 

Price  against his running partner at Notre

Dame Jeremiyah Love. Who was the first

running back picked in the first round this

year's draft.  He too will be sharing the

load with Tyler Allgeier. Love had the

Cardinals first touchdown. He carried the

ball 11 times for  41 yards while Allgeier 

carried 17 times for  61 yards. They both

averaged almost the same in the game. 

Both just under four yards per carry. 

Look forward to see how this game goes.

Being in the division it is important to win.

Go Hawks. 

Mariners Blow a Lead

Sunday after such a great game on

Saturday the Mariners blow a game

they should have won losing 8-7.

Bryce Miller had his best game in

some time.  He gave up two runs

in the first inning and nothing in

in the next four. I thought it was

s good idea to take him out the

score 6-2  however that was not 

the case. 

The Athletics scored four runs off

Carlos Vargas and Gabe Speier in

the 7th to tie.  In the 8th Randy 

Arozarena  hit a home run however

Munoz gave up two runs in the 9th.

The Mariners are making it hard for

us to root for them. This has to be 

the worst September in some time.

The Mariners now go to Anaheim to

play the Angels. The question will 

they do better. The Mariners play 13

more games and they have to win 

all 13 to have a chance. Go M's. 

Seattle Mariners Offense Explodes

The Mariners on Saturday evening 

hd likely their biggest offensive

game of the season.

They scored 19 runs on 23 hits

including five home runs.  In the

first inning JP Crawford led off

with a single. Dominic Canzone 

hit a home run. In the second 

inning Randy Arozarena hit a

three run homer.

In the 4th Michael Arroyo who

dh had his first major league 

hit with a double. He scored 

on Weston Wilson's single.

Wilson led with five hits.

In the 7th Arroyo had his first

major league home run. 

The third and sixth inning were

the only ones they didn't score.

The A's scored once in the third

inning on a throwing error by

pitcher Bryan Woo for the only

run they had. With the lead 

Woo went six innings.

Though the odds are not good

for the Mariners to make the 

playoffs however we hope this

allows them to go on a good 

winning streak. 

Bryce Miller will start Sunday 

afternoon. He has struggled 

pitching for two months so

how long will go we will see.

The Houston Astros lost again

do the Mariners are now five

games behind. Go M's.
