Dusty slides, plenty of laughs and a whole lot of trash talking. That was the 24th annual Fuddpuckers Draft softball tournament in a nutshell. The two-day, six-team event Saturday and Sunday at Callanan Park in Shelton had a little of everything, including a few things that probably needed a couple of ibuprofen afterwards. "We would like to thank all our players and coaches," co-organizers, and sisters, Kacy Fladager and Chelsey Ceniza said after the tournament concluded. "Without you, this tour...
The year is 1995, and the Mariners are facing the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series.

One of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform in Seattle will be retiring at the end of the WNBA season. Sue Bird, who has played for the Seattle Storm since being drafted first overall in 2002, is calling it a career after this season. If there was a Mount Rushmore of Seattle sports athletes, she would certainly be on it, along with Walter Jones, Ken Griffey Jr. and Gary Payton. She’s won four WNBA titles in Seattle in 2004, 2010, 2018 and 2020, and she’s a 13-time WNBA all-star. Bir...

For people not on social media, I envy you. If you’re involved in Seattle sports Twitter, Facebook or Reddit, you have probably seen the highs and lows of a sports season as it happens. People reacting (and overreacting) to everything posted by media members, analytics websites, hot takes from national pundits, player or staff news and games. This could be about every sport in Seattle, but this time, I am referring specifically to the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners season has been nothing n...
