On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore jump into the disaster that was the Cougars this weekend against Boise State , and reflect on the Mariners' disappointing season and the decision not to hold a formal press conference .Jim wrote a satirical press conference on how the Mariners end of the season presser should have sounded and it’s hilarious! Go check it out at PuckSports.com, on the blog tab.
Why do the Mariners find themselves so unaccountable and why do we as fans seem to put up with their behavior. They had over 35K people a day there this past weekend. Why??.
Both Puck and Jim love the Seahawks +3.5 tonight against Detroit and feel that Geno Smith will once again shine in Detroit. As Puck likes to point out as a smarts, the team that wins the trenches will win the game! Thanks tips.
Jim wonders if he should write a column on Lee Corso and whey he thinks he should be taken off College GameDay. Puck, the mature one :), tells Jim not to write the column.
Finally, they both find it funny that GameDay will be at Cal this Saturday for the Bears home game against Miami!
Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio stops by for his final visit of the season. They dive right into the Mariners failures this season and dissected what went wrong and how they could possibly fix it.
Jim didn’t like the decision for Jerry Dipoto not to do an official end of the year press conference and agreed that John Stanton, the owner should have been present to answer specific questions like why he decided to bring Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander back for another season.
Despite Dipoto saying his outfield is set, Puck and Duquette wonder if they will still try and move Randy Arozarena in the offseason. Duquette is convinced that they will shot Luis Castillo. The move would free up $72 million and bring some young talent back.
Dipoto claims that they will not have any financial restraints, but they owe a lot of money in arbitration to a number of players and that won’t leave them a lot once they are finished with those players.
