Indians 6, Mariners 3: Doug Fister implodes, hitters go AWOL final six innings

Seattle Times — Tonight's game is a prime example of why Mariners fans have grown so frustrated with this team. The M's began the night with seven hits the first three innings, taking a 3-0 lead with three in the third.

Then came the sixth inning and he couldn't get anyone out. Six hits by the next seven batters later and Cleveland has a 4-3 lead. Oh yeah, throw in five RBI by former M's outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, tr...

A deeper look at the Josh Lueke trade and case

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Some of you may not have seen it, but we took another look at the Josh Lueke case today and the circumstances surrounding his trade to Seattle back in July. I'm not going to comment further because the story speaks for itself. You can read it right here. There is one point I do want to make.
