CRAP, IT'S LATE
I'm not seeing any immediate news on the Mariners on any of the Seattle-area daily websites, so it's on to the other sports... That is, after I mention what an embarrassing loss that was by the Red Sox. My goodness.
SEAHAWKS
Some of you probably won't get to J-M Romero's article until during or after the game, but here it is. Seattle and New England. Man, I want a win out of this.
BASKETBALL
I've been wanting to see Nick Collison play as a Sonic since the moment he was drafted. He sat out last year recuperating from the shoulder surgery, and he's getting playing time during the preseason. He made a few early turnovers (five overall total), but did help fuel a late comeback and had a decent line, as he had 15 points on 7-for-9 shooting and he grabbed eight boards. Oh yeah, the Sonics lost to Phoenix 99-93. But this is exhibition basketball, folks. Who cares what the score is, really?
The Storm had some personal adversities, but the time has come for Anne Donovan and gang to look ahead for next year.
Also, it's time to turn your heads away from Husky football, folks, in case for some reason, you still had your attention there. The Husky basketball team is returning its top seven scorers from last year, and the expectations are high.
HOCKEY
The Kootenay Ice beat the Vancouver Giants 4-3 in overtime on Martin Sagat's goal 4:05 into the extra period. Ty Morris potted his 4th goal of the year for the Giants, who had only two plus skaters.
Leland Irving stopped all 19 shots he faced as the Everett Silvertips shut out the Seattle Thunderbirds 3-0. From that article, "[b]ecause of the [shutout] all fans in attendance, received free batteries as part of the Pacific Power Batteries Lights Out promoton[sic]."
Portland shut out Prince George 5-0 to end their three-game losing funk. In another shutout, Dustin Butler pitched the third of his career to lead the Portland Winter Hawks to over the Cougars.
Multiple-time Canuck call-up Jason King got himself a hat trick in the Manitoba Moose's 5-3 win over the Cleveland Barons to double his goal output to six on the year. Wade Brookbank doubled his output as well, but in terms of fights. His two fights tonight bring him to four in three games. Alex Auld stopped 20 shots and the Moose outshot the Barons 34-24.
The Puget Sound Tomahawks have fallen to 10-2 after a 6-3 loss to the Kootenai Colts. There's no Sun article or immediate recap available at this time of night, so I'm using one of their fan message boards to find out that Mike Truex scored the first goal for the T-Hawks. [Edit Sun AM: Here's the Sun recap.]
Today: Prince George at Seattle, Manitoba at Hamilton
Oh man, just over seven hours until the Seahawks play. Here's to hoping they make us proud...
