Commentary: Playing MLS Cup at home for 50th anniversary would be remarkable
The Sounders have a chance to fill a home stadium with close to 70,000 fans and play for MLS Cup in their 50th Anniversary Season. That's a house no one is blowing down.

Commentary: The "Big Bad Wolf" once again standing in the way of Sounders path to title
The Big Bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew the first two houses down, but the third one held strong. If Leagues Cup and U.S. Open Cup were Houses One and Two, the MLS Playoffs represent House Number Three.

Commentary: Fans have waited long enough, Mr. Silver. Please begin expansion talks now

Commentary: Note to Stanton - the Mariners are average because of ownership, not market size

Commentary: M’s ownership only heightens negative stigma by keeping Dipoto
It’s time those in charge either make the moves that will appease this fanbase or actually face the music and answer the tough questions for why they continue to sit still.

Commentary: Dan Wilson hire complicates decision on Dipoto’s future with Mariners
If ownership decided to get rid of Dipoto, they'd probably have to fire their popular and venerated brand new full-time manager, Dan Wilson, too. Or, even crazier, make it a stipulation for any new president or GM to keep Wilson as their skipper.

Commentary: Servais firing the latest head-shaking example of Dipoto's communication issues

Commentary: Mariners first-place disappearing act another example of their magical talent

Commentary: M’s ownership must make ALL resources available ($$$) to help team at trade deadline
The M's have the worst batting average and most strikeouts in the league, and they're bottom five in total runs and slugging percentage. Their offense needs help to put them over the top.

Commentary: Time for Chambers Bay to sever one-sided “partnership” with USGA
The U.S. Open now has venue sites solidified through 2043 and U.S. Women's Open sites through 2036. The lack of love from the USGA after the renovation of greens at Chambers Bay is disappointing to say the least.

Commentary: Caitlin Clark Olympics snub is short-sighted
She might not be the best basketball player in the world, but there's no reason Clark should be left off this year's Olympic team, given what she's done for the sport, and the history of former top draft picks who have made the Olympic roster their rookie seasons.

Commentary: Recent quality stretch is tangible proof that M’s advertised blueprint for success can work
We’ve now seen that this is a team that should win games if they’re able to score four or more runs with quality pitching starts. That’s the blueprint – one the Mariners expected and promoted this offseason.
