DIVERSIONS FROM YOUR SECOND-PLACE MARINERS
The first thing Larry Bird did as president of basketball ops of the Indiana Pacers was to give Isiah Thomas the ax. High comedy. Isiah inherited a great and talented team that went to the finals under Bird. Isiah managed to turn that team to crap. And he didn't get away with benching Reggie Miller for the entire 4th quarter of a playoff game last year. Isiah Thomas' exit from the Pacers was long overdue. And Rick Carlisle getting a coaching job is a couple months overdue also, but he deserves it.
I was listening to Mike Gastineau on the KJR and he brought up a list of top records of college football teams of the last three years. the Huskies were 15th, though Oregon has the best Pac10 record in the span. Number one and two weren't too surprising, those were Miami and Oklahoma. Number 3? I'll give you a moment...Boise State. Yup, the blue turf boys have the third-best D-I record in college pigskin over the past 3 years. Gotta love that Humanitarian Bowl every year -- The Hum Bowl. Gas also mentioned that the BCS games will now be sponsored by ADT Security, which is somewhat ironic considering the run-ins with the law (some involving stealing) that some delinquent college fb players have had.
Kobe Bryant's accuser is a no-show in classes at her soph year at the Univ of Northern Colorado. I will elaborate no further.
I can't resist. Melvin and all the Mariner cronies have said the pennant race will come down to the six of nine at the end of the season against the A's. It should never have had to come to that.
Finally before I hit the sack here, the 20-year-old off the street that pitched for the Rays tonight was pulled in the 5th and gave up TWO DAMN HITS overall. Basically, the Mariners had 3 runs at that point because of Gaudin's walks, not because they were hitting or anything. Putrid.
Ichiro second half last year: .280. This year: .278. There is also a huge drop in stolen bases in both years. Thanks, Locke.
And by the way, the Mariners are losing against crappy teams again. 2002, anyone? Deja friggin vu.
