:30- We revisit our 6am discussion about Jerry Dipoto’s comments- did he say the wrong thing again, or are we reading too much into it?

:45- Hey guys- there’s ONLY 1 RULE!!!

Headlines and A Seahawks discussion- The Hawks have made a lot of changes this offseason, but did they actually improve?

30- ABCs of the Mariners

- A is for Again- Casey Lawrence is a Mariner AGAIN… he has been a Mariner 4 times already this year

- B is for Big Balls…

- C is for Castillo- no, we didn’t trade that Castillo, he’s starting tonight.

:45- Apparently people needed a clarification…

Jerry Dipoto’s recent comments about this team give us something to talk about; was he calling out previous teams or trying to absolve himself?

:30- Draymond Green got another technical foul last night and still thinks he’s a victim and the league has an agenda against him. Do we agree?

:45- We got a new Pope yesterday and he may be a liar… or the Cubs are just THAT team.

It’s Beat Bucky with Matt from Snohomish!

:30- We play a little game of Glass Half Full or Half Empty with a look at the addition of Leody Taveras

Have the Mariners had a knack for turning other team’s trash into treasure, or are we tired of sifting through the trash?

:45- We close out with one last thing!

SPENCER HAWES is back for his weekly visit as our NBA Insider and we take a look at some of the surprises in the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs.

Can the Celtics come back from 0-2?

Can the Warriors survive without Steph?

:30- ABCs of the Mariners

- We are veering off the alphabet just slightly to celebrate the bottom of the order.

- Y is for Yearn- is it too much to ask for a couple allstars?

- Z is for zone… and a lot of other Z’s…

:45- We are the people you turn to when you need an important task taken care of and today, a listener has turned to us to help give Ben Williamson… a nickname.

Headlines and JAY BUHNER joins the show.

The Mariners are on a tear, so we ask Bone for his thoughts on what this team is doing and how they’re doing it.

Plus- Bret Boone took over as the Rangers hitting coach, and we get Buhner’s thoughts on the new gig for The Boone.

:30- The Celtics find themselves in an 0-2 hole, but they have that Championship pedigree, so this isn’t over.

:45- Does the NCAA need the President to step in?

That’s 9 series in a row for the Mariners after another comeback win in Sacramento and this team’s success is being done the right way- with baseball players doing baseball things.

Last year’s 10-game lead was smoke and mirrors with the offense doing just enough and the pitching staff not allowed to make any mistakes. This year it’s different, but we still recognize it’s early and every season has it’s ups and downs; so the question still remains- how long can they keep this up?

:30- Mariners Morning After

It was another late-inning comeback for the Mariners after a Rowdy Tellez 3-run homerun got the team within 1-run, then the new guy and D Mo took care of the rest.

Was Dylan Moore really hurt or did he go to some sort of approach camp for 10 days?

:45- The Utah Mammoth are official and we think that the NHL’s newest franchise has done it right.

ABCs of the Mariners

- V is for Vargas- of the unsung heroes on this Mariners team, Carlos Vargas is at the top of the list because he seems to be delivering and doing it consistently.

- W is for Waiver Claim- the Mariners just grabbed Leody Tavares off waivers from the Texas Rangers. Do the Mariners have the right ingredients to revitalize his game like they did with Robles?

- X is for extinguish… has Bucky changed his mind on whose torch he wants to extinguish?

:30- Bret Boone joined Softy yesterday for the final time this season after taking the job a the hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, so how did it all come about?

We grabbed a portion of their conversation to find out!

:45- We close out the show with one last thing!

- So, what’s the limit?

- Injured Cavs players goofing off on the sideline

- Coaches calling out underperformance

- What’s the limit on large personalities on one team?

:30- ANGIE MENTINK (Root Sports) joins the show after last night’s come-from-behind win.

What is she seeing with this team? How important was that win and more!

:45- Sorry, but there’s only one rule when it comes to retired jerseys…
