The Mariners’ postseason hopes are officially over.

Seattle was eliminated from playoff contention today after wins by the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals.

The M’s were left three games behind both teams in the wild card race with three games left in the season, but don’t have the tiebreakers over either team.

They have the day off today before beginning their final series of the season tomorrow against the Oakland Athletics.

It comes as the A’s won their final game in Oakland this afternoon in front of a sellout crowd.

They’ll spend the next three to four years in a minor league stadium in Sacramento ahead of their upcoming move to Las Vegas.

Coverage for tomorrow’s game begins at 6:00 and first pitch is at 7:10 on KGMI.

 

Injuries are top of mind for Seahawks fans entering this Monday’s primetime matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Starting running back Kenneth Walker is still questionable to play after he missed the last two games with an oblique injury.

Key defensive linemen Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II are also both questionable after leaving last Sunday’s game with separate injuries.

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu could finally make his return for his first regular season game since Week 7 last year, though no official update has been given yet.

Meanwhile, Detroit recently announced that All-Pro center Frank Ragnow will miss Monday’s game with a pectoral injury.

It followed news that two starters on the Lions’ defense will also miss a significant amount of time.

 

Speaking of the NFL, we’ve got a great Thursday Night Football game on KPUG tonight.

The New York Giants are hosting the Dallas Cowboys in a matchup against division rivals with an extensive history.

Both teams enter tonight with a 1-2 record for a game with major implications on the NFC East race.

Seahawks fans will also want to get a preview of the Giants, who are coming to Seattle next week.

Coverage for tonight’s game begins at 4:30 and kickoff is at 5:15 on KPUG.

 

Western Washington University’s women’s soccer team is looking to get back on track tonight.

They’re up north playing Simon Fraser in their first game in GNAC conference play.

The Viks are winless in their last three games and are looking to even up their 1-2-2 record.

The men’s soccer team is off until next Thursday when they jump into GNAC play.

And the Vikings’ volleyball team is hosting Simon Fraser tomorrow for Welcome Back Students night at Western.

They’ll look to rebound from a rough 2-6 start to the season.
