Alligator sighting in Washington State prompts investigation
**UPDATE: As reported Saturday afternoon by KIRO 7, the reptile in question turned out to be an exotic tegu lizard that recently escaped from its owner. Alligators are not native to Washington State and could not establish a population in the region because of its cool climate. But somewhere in Snohomish County, a very large gator is on the prowl. “Granite Falls Deputies are investigating the sighting of a 10’ alligator near the 9400 block of Ray Grade Rd.,” the Snohomish County Sheriff announced late Friday via X. “The reptile was last seen south of Ray Grade Rd. toward the Pilchuck River.” A...

The Moose is Loose: Mariners prospect Michael Morales finds his stride
The Mariners made a splash move in the 2024 draft, taking high school pitcher Ryan Sloan with their second-round pick, 55th overall. Sloan comes with all the bona fides you’d want to see in an early-round high school draft pick: he’s got a high-octane fastball, he’s built like a walk-in refrigerator, and he seems almost blissfully ignorant of the talent he’s been granted in his right arm (witness him talking about discovering his late-fade changeup like he found a dollar on the street).
Mariners show signs of life but lose to Astros anyway, 4-2
While the vibes are understandably Very Bad to Chernobyl among the Mariners fanbase after a 4-2 loss at the hands of the Astros that saw the Mariners fall out of first place in the AL West, given the choice between the two losses, I’ll take tonight’s, even if it guaranteed a series loss and sets the Mariners up for their first sweep of the season tomorrow. The Mariners are down, worse than they’ve been all season. But for the Mariners—the scrappy team in the forgotten upper left corner of the map of baseball, the team that’s been a punching bag and a running joke for the rest of the league for the majority of its existence, the team that’s served as the crucible for the baseball historians and scribes interested in the weird and bad and goofy, the Seattle Literal Mariners—this might be just where they want to be. To borrow from Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son: “No more pretending for him! He was completely and openly a mess. Meanwhile the rest of us go on trying to fool each other.”
