Softy got roasted by hockey guy for referring to the Stanley Cup Final as the Stanley Cup Finals. We all know that guy; the guy that has to make sure you are corrected on every little detail about their sport. Soccer guy is like that, baseball guy is like that. Which sport has the biggest snobs as fans? Mariners lose another game. Let's not all freak out. They're still 11 games over .500 and only a game out of first place in the AL West. Joe Banner took a shot at Brian Schottenheimer on Twitter, but was he right? The Husky game against Auburn is a 12:30 game, but it isn't at home. It's also now listed as a pick'em at some sportsbooks whereas Auburn had been favored just a few weeks ago. Let's be honest, taking Auburn in this situation seems like the obvious play. Noah Dickerson talks to us about his decision to return to Washington for another year of college basketball.

Yesterday, Dick claimed that Tyler Lockett was just a run-of-the-mill wide receiver. Today, Softy decided to reach out to Lockett and see what he had to say about Dick's comments. Softy maintains that Lockett has the potential to be much more than a run-of-the-mill player. We find out what you think on today's edition of Do you want Dave, or do you want Dick? The discussion about Lockett continues on Textimonials, as we take your thoughts at 49451.

Finally, we open the Softy and Dick Sportsbook with Game 1 of the NBA Finals about to get underway.

Scott Servais again used Edwin Diaz in a non-save situation last night, and he got lit up. A few weeks ago Dick argued that they shouldn't be using Diaz in non-save situations. Is he right? We hear from Brian Schottenheimer and Ken Norton Jr. for the first time today. Schottenheimer says they have all the right pieces in place. Do we agree with this? Dick isn't so sure about Tyler Locket. Brandon Marshall also spoke today after it was announced that he was joining the team yesterday. Softy is pretty confident he'll be on the roster in September. Good news for Husky fans; Noah Dickerson has decided to return to the UW for another year.

We wrap up the show with a brief Textimonials segment as we prepare for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Mariners have won 4 in a row, 9 of their last 10, and are 33-20 on the season. The team though, still has its detractors. Some say the pitching can't hold up, the team has only beaten bad teams, run differential suggests they'll come back to earth. Right now though, they've done everything asked of them. Are you a believer, or do you still doubt them? We find out in another edition of Regional Reaction. Andrew Romine, Mariners utility player talks about his role on the team, and the team's motivation since the Cano suspension. Some NBA fans are apparently not happy that Cleveland and Golden State are facing off yet again Let's be honest, this is the best matchup, the matchup everyone wants.

The Seahawks have added wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the team. Is this another one of those T.O. situations where they bring him in for training camp but he's not around very long? Maybe, but the Seahawks need some pieces and Marshall could be what the team is looking for. The Mariners continue to be red hot. Bill Krueger makes his weekly appearance to discuss the team, last week's trade, and what the team needs to do to stay on track. Are you a believer in this Mariners team? Textimonials continue to give thoughts on if the Mariners are for real.
