Seattle general manager [...]
SEATTLE — The Mariners finished their homestand with a lot to be positive about, but the one blemish was a product of the same glaring issue that has plagued them all season. 110 wins 100 wins Seattle's pitching kept up its stellar ways, but a lack of punch at the plate led to a 3-2, [...]
Hot-hitting Wilson gets first start at first Sweeney returns, but spots are limited Worth noting SEATTLE — With the way the Mariners have pitched lately, it's scary to think of what adding another talented arm could do. Erik Bedard, who won 28 games from 2006-07, could be back on the mound for Seattle as early [...]
Hot-hitting Wilson gets first start at first Rehab starts planned for Bedard's comeback Worth noting SEATTLE — For the first time since June 2, Mike Sweeney walked to the bulletin board in the Mariners' clubhouse and saw his name listed on the starting lineup card at designated hitter.
