It really is as bad as they thought

The live version of this monstrosity of a home-run celebration thing looks worse than a county fair carnival game backdrop. At least the Mariners won’t be playing there anytime soon…

Yamauchi won't attend any games.

Via Art Thiel. I know a lot of LL regulars will probably shrug this off, but I don't think this will go over well with the more casual fans (especially those who, right or wrong, already have misgivings about those higher up than GMZ).

I've found no evidence of there being any broadcast of the games against Hanshin and Yomiuri stateside. Is this true? Or can someone correct me? Is there anyway to watch these games?

Keeping Felix and Brandon League?

Brandon League might be here for the long haul. He's definitely interested in staying out of loyalty thanks to those blown saves!

BREAKING: Mariners release Shawn Camp

7

Devastating news for Shawn Camp fans. Just a few weeks ago we thought Shawn Camp as a long shot to make the opening day roster. Today, after a very Shawn Camp kind of Spring (8.1IP, 8H, 3BB, 6K) he was released from the Mariners. What could have been 60 innings of low innings, slightly above replacement level pitching is now just what "could have been" rather than "what will be". We will miss you, Shawn Camp. I hope you extend your career long enough to become the first result in Google for "Shawn Camp".
