Zunino is the epitome of "all or nothing" on offense. Every time we think he's turned a corner with the bat, he reverts back his "home run or out" tendencies. It's a shame, too, because he was a good hitter before he went pro. It'd be nice to have a better bat in that spot and not settle for the...

At this point, it would take a pretty epic dive for this to happen. They could play .500 ball for the rest of the month and still be 20 games over .500, at which point they'll be playing Anaheim and Colorado for two weeks until the All-Star break. Those two teams aren't bad by any stretch of the...

Did anyone hear (I think) Tom, from Bob, Groz and Tom, float the idea of trading Haniger (among other pieces) for Jacob DeGrom? I get that you can never have too much pitching and that the M's have it pretty good in the outfield right now, but I think it would be a mistake to trade Haniger. He...

Oddly enough, I have a feeling that Astros fans have been saying the same thing about the Mariners lately. The nice thing about this M's team is that they didn't take the fact that they were playing bad teams for a while for granted. They did what they were supposed to do and Houston is doing...

I don't know how to look up previous April records for the Mariners without it taking forever, but this has to be one of the better starts to a season that we've had in a while. Sure, it's easier to say "relax" right now than it was 10 days ago, but by the same token, it was easier to panic and...

I expected at least one running back to be taken by the Seahawks in this draft, but it was still somewhat of a surprise to me that they took one in the first round. Granted, they traded back and made the pick towards the end of the round instead of the middle, but my most recent thought was that...

He's talented to be a good #1 receiver in the league and he would presumably have one of the best receivers to ever play the position at his disposal if he went to Arizona. This could very well be Fitzgerald's last season in the NFL, but I don't doubt that he'll make himself available to the...

I don't think anyone expects Carson to be handed the job. We all know he'll have competition for it and we all know there's at least a decent chance that someone else will beat him out, assuming he's 100% healthy to begin with. I don't think he necessarily has the advantage having been on the...

I would prefer to see Bryant in the AFC rather than somewhere like Green Bay or Arizona if the other teams in the NFC East don't want him.

He seems very interested in staying in the NFC East at the moment. If he's pissed about getting released and wants to stick it to Jones for years, there's no better way of doing that than going to a division rival.

I don't have a link handy, but you can add Sebastian Janikowski to the list of free agent signees.

I'm sure a RB or two will be taken by the Hawks at some point in the draft, but I don't think it'll be that early. They are going in the right direction with their decisions to let Rawls and Graham walk and sign a run blocking tight end and they can't rely entirely on Davis, Carson and Prosise...

Let's get something out of the way early.... The bullpen is going to give up runs. They're going to give up leads. They're going to lose games. All of those things are inevitable and they also apply to all 30 teams in the league. No bullpen, no matter how good they turn out to be, is immune...

Considering how much turnover there's been so far and could still be before the season starts, the 2018 season could resemble the 2011 season in a lot of ways. The roster and the coaching staff needed an overhaul back then and it's getting another one now. The 2010 season might have been the...

He may ultimately choose to sign somewhere else after this season, but he doesn't sound eager to leave just yet (the post-game situation in Dallas not withstanding). The best-case scenario is a contract extension, of course. If that isn't possible close to the trading deadline, then the next...

I'm not surprised to hear that. I kinda soured on ASJ toward the end of his college career, even though he was a Husky. He's got talent for sure, but until he gets sober, he's got too much baggage. Besides, I read that he signed with Jacksonville yesterday.

Look, as petty and greedy as it sounds to us mere mortals when players complain about making "x" millions of dollars instead of "y" millions of dollars, you have to think more in terms of what the players get paid vs. how much money the league/owners make than in terms of what we non-athletes...

He'd have to be willing to take a "hometown" discount I would think. A big one too. I know the Hawks are a bit thinner on the defensive line without Bennett now, but I can't see them tying up so much of what cap space they do have on a guy who isn't much younger than the guy we just traded and...

Well, they almost have to keep Maxwell now. With Shead being let go and Sherman and Lane already gone, the cornerback position has been thinned out considerably. McDougald coming back will help at safety, but with the uncertainty around Kam's status for this year, they'll need to add more depth...

It has to be about the injury history with these two. It looks like they kept McDougald for safety depth, but we're pretty thin at corner now. We're definitely taking some corners in the draft now and I expect a free agent or two to be signed as well. I can't say that I expected this much of a...

He might have gotten a lot of money going to San Francisco, but I don't think this was purely a money grab situation. For one thing, he's going back relatively close to home. I know he grew up a lot closer to LA than the Bay Area, but he went to college in the Bay Area, so he's going home no...

This just adds to my suspicion that the Hawks are going heavy on defense backs in the draft again this year.

Not a huge surprise, especially since he played college ball at Stanford. Should be interesting to see the Hawks play against him twice a year.

I've been watching the Sounders since they joined the MLS and I watched a little Olympic soccer before that, but I still don't know what to look for to determine what off-sides is in soccer.

It's the end of an era. It's going to be weird to watch the Seahawks play next season and not see a lot of these familiar faces out there. I think the hard part is going to be watching the new defense and not automatically comparing it to the LOB defense. Our expectations needed to be adjusted...
