Go ahead and drink the Kool-Aid. The M’s are for real.
Win-Loss Record: 42-38

They’ll be going for the sweep — that’s right, SWEEP — of the Sox in Boston tomorrow. Gotta love it!
Happy Fourth! Go M’s!
Good news, sports fans.
Just noticed that Nicole Zaloumis is providing the studio analysis for FSN’s broadcast of the M’s game today. That means that this website will be bombarded over the course of the next few hours by references to the search term “Nicole Zaloumis.” I like to call this “The Zaloumis Effect.”
Basically, we can quantify The Zaloumis Effect based on how much cleavage Nicole is showing off during the broadcast. Today, lots of cleavage, which in turn equals a large number of site hits. On days when the cleavage is more contained, fewer site hits (though still a fair amount).
The Zaloumis Effect is a funny thing. I’ve come to the realization that there are only a few articles devoted to Ms. Zaloumis on the internet, and that a large majority of them are courtesy Seattle Sportsnet. Hence, when someone Googles “Nicole Zaloumis,” they are often redirected here. Unfortunately for the Googler, we don’t have very many pictures. Sorry.
Anyways, I just wanted to explain to everyone how it works, since it’s been a pretty interesting phenomenon to be a part of. Even if I don’t watch a game on TV, I know when our favorite studio analyst has been on the broadcast based on the number of hits we receive in reference to “Nicole Zaloumis.” It’s pretty awesome. And that’s why we love you, Nicole.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the M’s are playing RIGHT NOW on FSN. It’s a 10:05 AM start time here on the west coast, so get your ass to that couch and start watching. Go M’s!
Mark Lowe and Rob Johnson celebrate the Mariners' 7-6, 11-inning victory over Boston on Friday.
Who would have thought the M’s would still be this relevant on Independence Day?
Sure, we all hoped it would happen, but no one could have projected this. Today is July 4th, and the Mariners are three games over .5o0 and just 2.5 games back of first place in the American League West. In a word, unbelievable.
On a day that is supposed to be entirely devoted to fireworks, barbecues, watermelon, adult beverage consumption, and most of all this great nation of ours, Seattle sports fans will actually be paying close attention to what the M’s do in Boston later today.
Coming off arguably the biggest win of the season last night, the M’s will look to take back-to-back games from the Red Sox and ensure a winning record on their toughest road trip of the year. Currently, the team is 4-3 with two games remaining on a trek that took them to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers, New York to meet the Yankees, and Boston to face the Sox. The team returns home on Monday.
I’ll keep it short and simple. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Fourth of July, and if you can break away from the nice weather and great food for just a few minutes, check out our baseball team do a little work in New England. Let’s go Mariners!
