Just because the Mariners aren’t supposed to contend for a playoff berth in 2012 doesn’t mean it’ll be a free-pass summer for general manager Jack Zduriencik.
Traction is gaining for an arena that will ensure the return of the NBA to Seattle. It’s possible an NHL team could serve as a co-tenant.
The best and worst of Super Bowl XLVI …
Among the reasons I prefer baseball to all other sports is the sheer constancy of the schedule.
A recruiting maven I’m not. But once upon a time, while working the mid-morning desk shift for an afternoon newspaper in Columbia, Mo., I put together a never-seen list of maybe 20 NCAA Division I football prospects headed toward the University of Missouri.

During the week since Jack Zduriencik traded for Yankees catcher Jesus Montero, I have come to the conclusion that Montero – and, more importantly, the Mariners – will be better served if he never catches a game in a Seattle uniform.
Randy Johnson and Dan Wilson were Seattle Mariners’ batterymates with distinctly different personalities.
If Washington ends up figuring out how to jell on the basketball floor – if it salvages its season with an NCAA Tournament bid – an unlikely prop will be remembered: The suit coat of coach Lorenzo Romar.
