Jim Moore

The Mariners won in dramatic fashion Wednesday but scored only 11 runs while going 1-5 on their first homestand of the season. It’s strange and it’s not at the same time.

I know we’re only three games in, but it’s still nice to look at the standings and see the Mariners on top of the American League West after an encouraging opening series.

Jim Moore liked what he saw from the Mariners in the eighth inning of their win over Texas Tuesday night, not only the offensive explosion but the emotion their players and manager Scott Servais showed after catcher Chris Iannetta was hit by a pitch.

Will the Mariners make the playoffs? Can King Felix finally win 20 games in a season for the first time? Jim Moore makes his predictions for the 2016 M’s.

Michael Bennett’s dissatisfaction with his contract only figures to have grown since last offseason, which points to the possibility of a holdout. The Seahawks should give him a new deal to avoid that.

The Seahawks’ offensive line has obvious room from improvement, but Denver’s Super Bowl win underlined why it’s more important for Seattle GM John Schneider to keep defensive free agents from going elsewhere.

The Super Bowl has been played 49 times and has never gone to overtime. Jim Moore is making it his final “Smokin’ Lock of the Week” that this year’s game will go an extra period.

After a week of dissecting the Seahawks’ playoff game on Sunday against top-seeded Carolina, Jim Moore boils down the matchup to the simplest criteria: Which team can be considered better.

The Seahawks’ offense has functioned fine without Marshawn Lynch, but will his surprising absence hurt Seattle as they try to beat the Vikings for the second time in just over a month?

Arizona has a chance to clinch the NFC’s top seed on Sunday, while the Seahawks could actually end up getting a better matchup in their playoff opener if they lose to the Cardinals for a second time this season.
