THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Rivalries are still a big deal — even after rivals run away
Schulz is right. Rivalries ARE a big deal.
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: A feel for the pain with the Mariners, Munoz
I’m not trying to bore you, I promise.
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Inside the wacky world of goaltenders
Hockey players uniformly carry a superstition. They will never, ever touch the Cup unless they win it. Now, at last, Captain Bob could hug the thing.
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: One week later, plot thickens in AL West
What’s most scary about this situation is that the Mariners, who surely must be thinking of moves before the trade deadline, have TWO teams to worry about — and they happen to be winners of the past couple World Series.
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Zags have the pedigree — and the money — to land a deep roster
It’s been a staggering haul for Few and Co., and in this era where nothing comes for free, a couple of questions jump out at us. First, how much money has been gathered up to pay for this new (and huge) roster full of talent? Second, who’s paying for it?
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: Mays was the best player I've ever seen, no question
Willie Mays was not my favorite ballplayer. Well, not No. 1.
THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: The ever-changing world of uniforms, from awesome to blah
I’VE LOVED uniforms since I first cared about sports. In other words, when I got scolded by a grumpy Catholic nun in fifth grade because I was drawing a St. Louis Cardinal shirt (the birds on the bat were, and ARE, the very best), and she wanted me to pay attention to social studies.

OK, then, are there reasonable moves that Seattle bosses Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander could make to improve this team’s chances to score some runs? You know, without giving away the store?
THE CHEAP SEATS WITH STEVE CAMERON: Chance for M's to distance themselves from rest of AL West
Obviously, the more space the Mariners can open in the standings, the better off they’ll be while the club hunts for some bats. This is a big weekend.
