    by Matt • November 7, 2010 • 0 Comments

    So the Seahawks have lost their last two games by a combined score of 74-10, they’ve looked ugly even in most of their wins, and they’re all kinds of banged up. It’s pretty easy to be down on the Seahawks right now. But here’s a reality check: If you had told 100 Seahawks fans before [...]

    Punchless Mariners

    When discussing the Mariners’ offense, or lack thereof, I’ll resist the urge to say I told you so and just point out this bit of news from Geoff Baker at the Seattle Times: But for opening March/April stints, the only Seattle team worse than the 2010 Mariners was the 1986 group.
