The Mariners won last night… yeah, with THAT lineup! Apparently half the starting lineup was injured and no one knew until yesterday, which made creating an actual lineup pretty difficult! The Mariners managed to pull it together and we saw JP make his debut at 3rd base, plus we got the story Curtis Washington Jr. getting called up. :30- Mariners Morning After Cal returned and reunited with his buddy Logan Gilbert and we'd say it went well for the two. Logan gave up 2 hits and struck out 10 in 7 innings and Cal delivered the game winning hit. :45- While Monday's World Cup games delivered 4 draws, Tuesday's games brought some more excitement as Messi, Haaland and Mbappe showed their superstardom.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks continue their focus on special teams, but other teams aren't copying the Hawks plan. Is it surprising John Schneider and Mike MacDonald are putting a lot of focus on the 3rd phase of the game and that other teams aren't following suit? Apparently the market for the Seahawks went from ice cold to red hot, what's the latest on the sale of the Hawks? How much of a say does Jody Allen have in the sale of the team versus the NFL and will it just go to the top bidder? :30- What to do with JP Crawford? Last week JP announced that he could make the move to 3rd to open the door for Colt Emerson at SS, but so far the move hasn't been made. Is he capable of playing third? If not, then is there a place for him on this team? :45- Get ready… for Apple Cup Sunday? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The M's get the sweep in Sacramento! We wake up this morning with a first place team… just how we drew it up. There are positives in these first 57 games; the Mariners have played some bad baseball and even with that, we have clawed our way to 1st in the (bad division) before June. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners cruised to a 9-1 win over the A's yesterday as the M's bats proved they could hit lefties two days in a row, perhaps it will give this team the boost of confidence they need. Next up the Diamondbacks come into town tomorrow and they've been red-hot. Can the Mariners cool them down? :45- The Seahawks made a trade yesterday that flew under the radar for the most part, but it did make one thing very clear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Mariners got a W in Sacramento last night and Piggyback 2 was a success by all measurables, so why are so many fans so angry? Luis Castillo went 4 scoreless innings and Bruce Miller finished the last 5 innings giving up 2 runs and helping the Mariners to a 9-2 win. The bullpen got the full day off and the two pitchers took care of business, which means the Piggyback was a success, regardless of if we actually like it or not. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners bats came alive with 4 home runs in Sacramento last night and cruised to a 9-2 win over the A's. :45- Is anyone playing better than the New York Knicks? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) What did he think of Piggyback 2.0? What caused the frustration for the players? How does he adjust moving forward? Is it time to send someone to the bullpen? The offense is still struggling with consistency and the lefty problem continues. How long does Healy give them to fix the issue? How dies Healy think the clubhouse is dealing with all of these issues? Have his expectations for this season changed? :30- We can't ignore the Sports Smut! From only fans rumors to failed marriages, there's a lot of smut out there! :45- We wrap up the Tuesday show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and how is it possible that the Seahawks and Devon Witherspoon aren't “even close” on contract negotiations? Do we buy the story? Is someone not operating in good faith? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - O is for Oops! We had an oops on Sunday, but got one back yesterday as the A's tried to make a double play. If they do that correctly, we don't score in the 3rd… - P is for Piggyback- Piggyback 2 worked well last night, but the pitchers involved sure don't seem happy with it. - Q is for Questionable- JP's arm strength is definitely questionable; does he need to go to the IL? :45- There's no better way to spend Memorial Day weekend… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thank goodness the Mariners are giving us a lot to talk about these days! JP Crawford is showing what a great leader he truly is and he could be the new Mariners' third baseman.

The New York Knicks are rolling into the Eastern Conference Finals against a Cleveland team that just played two seven-game series.

Mariners won big yesterday and Colt Emerson's first dinger should be highlighted. Criticism of Dan Wilson's in-game decisions are warranted, but the injuries the stars have been dealing with aren't on him. Do the OKC Thunder still live rent free in your head?

And Westwood One joins Ian in his usual cantankerous manner to discuss the horrific ownership we're seeing with the Trailblazers and the international NFL games we're seeing this year - specifically with the 49ers.
