- This is pretty awesome. The Astros bullpen catcher who got the ball Cal Raleigh hit for home run number 57 to break Ken Griffey Jr.’s Mariners record for a season hands Raleigh the ball for him to keep after the M’s beat his team in a huge game. 🫡
00:00 - OK, how sweet is this? An emotional Eugenio Suarez’ introducing his gals. He has people crying in this Mariners postgame session. Says this, 2 HRs, GW grand slam, is the game he’s waited his whole life for. Calls it his most emotional single game. “Seattle really deserved this”
00:00 - Geno Smith on his contract ending: “I want to finish my career in Seattle…they embraced me. I want to repay them for that.” His eyes were moist. #Seahawks
- By the way: Credit to home-plate umpire Sean Barber here. This is leading off a half-inning. Yet he brushes off the plate that didn't need brushing, walked a new ball out to the pitcher, to extend Suarez's welcome-back moment with M's fans. Ball players notice and appreciate.Standing ovation for Eugenio Suarez for his first at-bat in his Mariners return. He tips his batting helmet to the crowd. @thenewstribune
00:00 - Another reason to like Bobby Wagner: “I never put mayo on anything. Mayo is disgusting.”
- Doug Baldwin on President Trump’s comments today about NFL players: “He’s an idiot, plain and simple.” #Seahawks @thenewstribune
00:00 - Nobody wants to hear this now, but Russell Wilson did more than win for the Seahawks. He impacted life in Seattle. The kids and staff at @seattlechildren have Blue Tuesdays instead of Blue Friday, because Wilson visited the sickest of the sick there every week for a decade.
- Marshawn Lynch postgame, season- ending comments are to young players “Take care of y’all chicken” #Seahawks @thenewstribune
00:00 - “Anarchists!” Seattle is doomed! Stoop this immediately! My teens were at a protest today blocks from here. 1000s. No police. All peace. Don’t believe the ignorant. Don’t believe the immoral. Especially don’t believe the ignorantly, immorally desperate. Be well. Be empathetic.Replying to @ColeMillerTVFor the second night in a row, a movie is played on a projector at 12/E Pine. Tonight, it’s “Paris Is Burning.” A block down, a flute and speaker driven dance. And a vigil continues to grow. We’ll have a live report coming up at 11 #KOMONews
- Pete Carroll: “Black people know the truth. They know exactly what is going on. White people don’t know. “This is a white-people issue to get over...maybe there’s a new door to walk through, to do what’s right. And what’s right is to treat people equally.” #Seahawks
- Asked Pro Bowl DE Michael Bennett why he skips #Seahawks voluntary offseason workouts such as OTAs. His answer is sublime #getsit #DadQuotes
- Future Hall of Fame RB Adrian Peterson, 36, on his one game, about a month and a half with Seahawks: “Probably the best experience I’ve had, from ownership down to…the cafeteria. Great people.” Said Rashaad Penny “didn’t shy away” from asking for his advice. “Just a blessing”
- #Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer casually waiting alone for Oregon quarterback Bo Nix to finish his post-Pac-12 title press conference. Classy DeBoer was nodding his quiet approval of Nix’s comments about overcoming adversity in his college career, and his faith.
