Ichiro makes 18 million. Bob I thought about that and will just message me your actual name if that is cool. I just didn't want to jack someone's predictions w/o their permission.
I'm sure Jack Z would entertain it but would dumb(Lincoln) and dumber(Armstrong)? I doubt it.
SeattleSportsBlog: 2011 MLB season preview and predictions
I break down each team(even the crappy teams) in my preview. Several others including myself offer up predictions. Feel free to debate me on my picks just remember in baseball nothing ever goes as planned.
Anyone who says trade Felix isn't saying give him away. The problem is Mariners brass just like with Ichiro the past five seasons won't even entertain the idea.
If someone offered me a five for one which includes a power hitting second baseman like Cano I'd probably say yes even if it does...
I think we were destined to botch that situation. Lincecum would have been a bust too if we handled him like we did with Morrow.
Have him skip the minors to be an 8th inning setup man because two guys were trying to save their asses(Hargrove and Bavasi), then following year send him down for...
I'm just following 94's lead on this one. He is Mack Strong 2005, Walter Jones 2005 and Steve Hutchinson 2005 all in one.
Hopefully the city of Seattle is Shaun Alexander 2005 and reaps all the benefits.

I know this has nothing to do with the Seahawks but still a good article. Ainge for those who don't know is actually from Oregon and is Danny Ainge's nephew.
I remember hearing about him when he was 12 years old...
Ichiro has no value now but the time to trade him was back in 2008-2009 range if not earlier.
The whole Morrow situation gets me in a pissed off mood. The draft picking, how we handled him, then trading him.
His Morrow for League trade was a loss. Although we gave up nothing taking on the Wilson/Snell salary wasn't that good either. Z overall has done a good job I believe.
I'm not saying give Felix away but the problem is this current group won't even entertain the idea. Same with Ichiro they...
I think I saw it was 2015 but the point remains the same that time is ticking guys. Instead of Dholt starting crap we need to act fast and now.
I do want the Sonics history back and the name. The Sonics are the most successful professional franchise in Seattle.
At the end of the day though...
Easy you don't know him so don't throw out that accusation. We are all hurt by the Sonics leaving. Still rather have a pro team than no team I think was the point.
I think you trade Felix after next year. If we still have 90+ losses after next year trade him or if someone offers you a godfather like deal(an offer you can't refuse) I say take that too.
This organization has no balls or vision so they won't ever think of that same with Ichiro.
70 wins is still a 92 loss season. Yes the young guys will be exciting when they come up that is true. For this year though we are going to have another loooooooooooong season. Another year wasting Felix Hernandez talents. Another year where scoring runs is going to be very tough.
Will the...
SeattleSportsBlog: FANS
For those who haven't read it yet. This was all inspired from 94's post on my blog. Pretty good stuff and Sonicsgate tweeted it and posted it on their facebook.
SeattleSportsBlog: 2011 Seattle Mariners season preview
I break down the projected healthy opening day starting nine, our starting five man rotation, top two relievers and give a season outlook. Took me over three hours to write and now I'm depressed.
If you don't want to be depressed read...
Unless I go to a Super Bowl(doubtful) or a World Series(even more doubtful) I doubt I ever experience a greater win in person than that day.
The 2010 Holiday Bowl is up there because I was so surprised UW won.
Ultimately though this game was to get the franchise to their first ever Super...
For those who want to know how fucked up this could be look at all the QB's between Krieg and Hasselbeck only Moon was good and Kitna was average. The rest were all god awful.
The NFL is such hypocrites though. They care about safety but turn around and demand they play two more games to make money.
You truly care about the product and health REDUCE the season not EXPAND. Go back to a 14 game season or even 12 game season.
We all know they won't ever do that...
I have mixed feelings on Kolb like 94' and I discussed earlier but ultimately he is the best available. I don't like any of the rookie QB's and I hate Carson Palmer.
Like 94' said just the 25th pick won't do it. Would you guys be okay with 25th this year and a 2nd next year?
Still pissed we...
Seeing how we have Leon Washington that really kills us. Especially a month after we signed him to a 4/12 deal. Do we still sign him to that much money and years with these rules? I doubt it.
I also hate it because kickoff returns for touchdowns are exciting. Why even kick the ball off? In 10...
