Splitting the series with Cleveland is a win for the Mariners. Shoutout to Angie Mentink for her perseverance. MOLLYWHOP MONDAY! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop give us a breakdown of opening weekend for the Mariners. While the 'stars' weren't necessarily great at the plate, they weren't essential. It's great to have the back of the roster shine - and when 1-9 in the lineup can perform, the depth shows and that's the sign of a solid team. Is there any reason to worry about Cal Raleigh right now? Expectations following last year might be a little overshot. Chris and Nathan continue on with us to discuss the Mariners rotation as it exists, as well as a preview of the series against the Yankees. Nicky Scarlotta provides us more perspective on the power of fanhood in baseball. He updates us in his career and previews what he expects from the series between the Yankees and Mariners. Nicky admits that the 'Big Dumper' should've been the MVP.  Also, earlier Bill Simmons expressed an opinion on the future of the NBA here in Seattle - is he correct? We hear from YOU on the talkbacks and texts, and of course talk to Softy.

Ian is happy to have baseball back. We had it ALL last night, between the Kraken, Mariners and the NCAA Tournament.  Gary Parrish, CBS Sports joins Ian for the latest update on the NCAA tourney. Plus, the 'cinderellas' that aren't quite the same as the past, those who are a disappointment and what we should expect from the rest we'll see.  Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny is standing next to Carnegie Hall in a tux and we have a laugh about that. When it comes to the 'apology' with Oklahoma City, Danny thinks it's weak. He also says when the Sonics return, it'll sharpen his disdain for the Thunder. Should Seattle really have a relationship with OKC? Danny is bullish on the Mariners this season.  The Daily Power Play!  Rob Rang, FOX Sports and BC Lions joins Ian to discuss the draft and who we should be watching for from a Seahawks perspective.  BREAKING: We get updates on Tiger Woods' situation and it's not pretty following his arrest for DUI. Checking in on the Talkbacks and Texts!  Crosstalk with Softy!
