The 2021 NFL schedule was released for all 32 teams including the Seattle Seahawks who will be featured in 5 nationally televised games in prime time this upcoming season.

The Seattle Mariners took their first glimpse into a hopefully brighter future on Thursday (May 13) night when they opened a four-game series at T-Mobile Park in Seattle against the Cleveland Indians with the Major League debuts of top prospects Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert.

Major League Baseball insider Jeff Passan tweeted out on Monday (May 10) that Seattle Mariners coveted top prospect Jarred Kelenic is expected to be called-up from AAA Tacoma to join the big league club when they return to Seattle on Thursday to open a series against the Cleveland Indians.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger cranked both his 9th and 10th home runs of the 2021 season to pull into a tie for the American League lead in round-trippers but it wasn't enough as the M's bullpen couldn't hold on to a 4-1 lead late in the game at Chavez Ravine against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Seattle Mariners anemic offense still managed to take a lead late into their series opening game against the Baltimore Orioles tonight (May 3) before surrendering 5 runs in the 8th inning before succumbing to the O's by a final tally of 5-3 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

There's a saying that goes something like, "The sun doesn't shine on the same dog's behind every day". Basically, one can't expect to have everything go in their favor all the time. My 16 year-old son, Drew, is putting that adage to the test.

On Jackie Robinson Day, which celebrated the 74th anniversary of the breaking of the color barrier in Major League Baseball, the Seattle Mariners, fittingly, defeated the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 in the first game of a twin bill en route to a sweep and a 3-1 series win that vaulted the M's (8-5) into first place in the American League West.

Ken Griffey, Junior was the only player to ever hit a ball completely out of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Until last night.

Every week throughout the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association names their student-athletes for "outstanding performances and impactful contributions in their communities." This week, a standout performance by a West Valley Rams Sophomore Quarterback got the nod.
