Game 7 of the ALCS. Bottom of the ninth. A franchise that had never been to the World Series in 49 years. And they lost. That’s the boulder the 2026 Seattle Mariners are rolling back up the hill — and they know it. The entire offseason has carried that weight. The 50 Seasons patch sewn onto every jersey this year isn’t just a marketing move. It’s a reminder. Half a century. Zero World Series appearances. Not yet. ...
If you’re a Mariners fan trying to figure out how to watch games this season, you’re not alone. The whole landscape just changed. ROOT Sports Northwest — the regional sports network that aired Mariners games for over 37 years — shut down at the end of the 2025 season. Starting in 2026, MLB took over broadcasts directly, and the Mariners launched their own streaming service. The old playbook (get a live TV streaming service that carries ROOT Sports) is obsolete. ...

Let’s not sugarcoat it: 76-86. That’s the final tally on the 50th season of Mariners baseball, and no one in that ballpark on Sunday was pretending otherwise. The Mariners beat the Angels 7-3 in Game 162, splitting the four-game farewell series 2-2 and handing Los Angeles the first 100-loss season in franchise history — a 62-100 finish for a club that had been the only team in Major League Baseball never to lose 100 games. Somebody had to end the streak. It might as well be us. ...
Let’s not sugarcoat it: this season was a disaster. The Mariners led the division on July 5th, then went 25-38 with the worst offense in baseball — 577 runs, shut out 15 times — one year after winning the AL West and taking the ALCS to Game 7. The clubhouse is about to empty out, the manager probably isn’t coming back, and half the roster might be wearing different uniforms by spring. ...
T-Mobile Park is one of the better baseball stadiums in the American League. Good sightlines, a retractable roof that actually gets used, and a layout that doesn’t punish you for not spending $200 on a ticket. But the sections are not all created equal — there’s a big difference between “solid lower bowl seat for $35” and “overpriced corner seat where you’re watching the game at a 45-degree angle.” I’ve sat in probably 40 different sections at T-Mobile Park over the years. Here’s the honest breakdown of where to sit, what to expect, and how to find a deal. ...
