SNOOZE
I didn't see anything new on the Mariner front tonight, so it's on to other stuff...
-- Well, here's some more articles on the Seattle Storm winning the first major pro sports championship in Seattle in 25 years. Times articles are here, here, here, and here. P-I articles are here, here, here, and here. From expansion team to WNBA champs in five years. Crazy.
-- In other basketball news, the Sonics played a preseason game that I'm sure nobody cared about. They beat the Lakers 87-80 at the Pond in Anaheim. Ho, hum. In Percy Allen's article, I'm not sure how to react to a sentence where Luke Ridnour "led the defensive charge." Also, can anyone tell me why the hell Kobe Bryant is playing 41 minutes in a preseason game? Also, the KJR broadcast of the Sonics' game tonight was tape-delayed until after the Storm coverage was over with. So most people out there probably didn't get to hear the debut of Craig Ehlo as Kevin Calabro's color man. This will be Calabro's 18th season with the Sonics, which seems incredible.
-- In other other basketball news, this whole story with TrailBlazer Qyntel Woods and dogs is a tiny bit disturbing.
-- J-M Romero suggests that New England fans won't give a crap what happens in Foxboro with the Red Sox still alive. Clare Farnsworth gives us even MORE damning stats regarding the Seahawks' debacle on Sunday, this time tossing out some facts involving third-down defense (or lack thereof).
-- Small hockey update. In the WHL, Vancouver is 5-2-0-0 and second in the BC division, while Seattle (4-2-0-0) and Everett (3-2-1-1) are first and second in the US Division. In the NorPac Junior B western division, the Puget Sound Tomahawks are 9-1-0, with a 10-point lead in the division (though second-place Portland has played four less games). The Vancouver Canucks' farm team, the Manitoba Moose, start their regular season tonight against Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (I like the use of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre better).
And with that, I'd better get to sleep. We've got two concurrent LCS games tonight, everyone. Yes, I think that's a terrible idea. Luckily, I don't think it happens again.
