Re: Thiel: M’s don’t need Mather’s ‘help’ anymore

By the time I turned on 710 around 7:30 a.m., they were into a 15-minute segment on Cam Newton vs. the boy heckler.

Re: Thiel: Dunbar’s saga gets no help to put it to rest

Art, I am rather certain the second graph of your deftly crafted "statement" on behalf of Dunbar will be lifted/plagiarized at least once in the next year by an attorney, agent or flak. Perhaps as part of another report involving police with a headline that includes "Florida man ..."

I'm still waiting for my opportunity to get tested for the virus. Back on March 6 — a month ago today — he said, “Anybody that wants a test can get a test.”

Re: Thiel: No holding him back — Ifedi goes to Bears

Brilliant use of cadged. Bears fans, get use to hearing, "First and 15." Mitchell Trubisky should have his helmet in his hand when Nick Foles is on the field with Ifedi and Jimmy Graham as "blockers."

Re: Thiel: Mariners trade to get worse, and succeed

And then there's the homegrown roster construction (3) - Roenis Elias, Kyle Seager and Felix Hernandez, with the clock ticking on the latter. Meanwhile, the Red Sox can run out homegrown starters at 2B, SS, 3B, C, LF and CF. Impressive - and depressing.

This will be Dipoto's fourth draft as the Mariners GM, and let's hope he gets this one right. The M's have six players on MLB's preseason Top 100 prospects list, but the top three were drafted by other orgs, and Rodriguez was a signee. Sadly, Kyle Lewis, taken 11th overall in 2016, will soon be 24, yet is nowhere near ready.
Justus Sheffield - No. 34 (Indians, 2014)
Jarred Kelenic - No. 42 (Mets, 2018)
Justin Dunn - No. 74 (Mets, 2016)
Evan White - No. 89 (M’s, 2017)
Julio Rodridguez - No. 96 (International signee)
Logan Gilbert - No. 99 (M’s 2018)

Re: Thiel: KJR shuffle brings back Gas, for awhile

Eric Degerman — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 03:42:33 -0000

I've come to liken KJR vs. ESPN 710 akin to the P-I vs. The Times, back in the pre-1999 JOA days. I enjoy both for different reasons, but the heyday of Seattle sports talk seems to have been Groz with Gas. To me, that duo was akin to 'SportsCenter' with DP & KO. No one will do it better. (That said, I find Softy to be damn entertaining all by himself.) And not that anyone should really care, but in the caption, there's a typo in Jack Z's last name - it should be Zduriencik. As always, thank you for providing your witty and insightful coverage of sports in our corner of the world.

I didn't have the ESPN audio turned on.

Let's hope Servais or one of his coaches told Heredia he must throw to the correct base. He looked foolish during the 9th inning of the Sunday night loss at Wrigley.

Re: How Wine Growing in Walla Walla Supports the Economy

It's surprising to see that New York apparently overtook Washington in terms of gallons of wine produced in 2010, according to Donald A. Hodgen's report for the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Quite fascinating. Thanks for the research and the reporting.

A "good read," as we say in the industry. Your imitation of the third strike would have been even more lifelike had you been wearing a Seattle Mariners jersey!

A well-written, entertaining and insightful piece.
