Softy and Dick H1 - Live from Jimmy's on First / Are the Mariners chocking? / What will the offense look like? / Nickname weekend is here

Summary: It's finally here! Football! Seahawks football! Yup, it's pre-season football, but we're getting closer to football season. Softy and Dick are live from Jimmy's on First getting ready for the game. Matt Calkins wrote an article claiming that the M's are choking. We've talked about it on the show repeatedly, the team is clear not where they were a couple of months ago, but are they really choking? The team could end up winning 93 games and still not making the playoffs, and at this point, would that be considered success? One big thing to look for in tonight's game is the offense. Bevell got a lot of blame over the last few years when the offense faltered, so it will be interesting to see how things develop under Schottenheimer. How much of the decisions being made are ultimately Carroll's anyway? The MLB's players' nickname weekend is this weekend. The M's team nicknames have been released. The only player to not have one; Kyle Seager. Maybe, with the way he's been playing lately, his should just be his slash line.
