Current Events:
1) Husky Corner: Women's basketball team made a cinderella run to the WNIT Fab Four; Freshman phenom Keyon Menifield announced his intent to enter the transfer portal. He was the Dawgs best returnign player before that announcement
2) The Big Dance: The Huskies won it all! How did your bracket do? After beating UCLA in dramatic fashion to make the Elite Eight, Gonzaga got absolutely rinsed by UConn. Go Huskies.
3) Kraken play Phoenix on Thursday. Win and they clinch their first playoff berth in franchise history (2 years lol). I'll be at the game with my brother and he gets to ride the Zamboni.
| I want to revisit my previous hot take (refresher: I argued that the Kraken would be better off as a road team in the playoffs. Kraken have 3rd most road points in the league. My argument holds true.
| PEE WEE Preschool is over for the year. Maybe ever? I'm glad we all got to learn a little bit together.

Main Event | The Seattle MARINERS
| Opening Day was last Thursday, M's beat the Guardians 3-0, Brash embarrassed Jose Ramirez, luckily it was a 1-game series so there is nothing else to talk about there...jk
| - Team's performance so far. Top of order vs. bottom of order;
| ***DH and SS performance is notable;
| ***new additions have been a mixed bag so far.
| How is the pitching?
| - Robbie Ray is on the 2-week IL. DISCUSSION POINT: If his injury winds up taking him out for a longer, how should the Mariners proceed? Do we have the arms right now? Or will we need to transact?
