QUICKIE
Welcome to Sunday. This one might be a little shorter because I should be going to FanFest in the morning if everything goes as planned.
For your random note today, I pace back and forth while I brush my teeth. I have no idea why this is.
Before I start the rest of the post, I must pass along that the Stanford women's swimming team came away with a 193-103 victory. Bremerton 2002 grad Dana Kirk finished second in the 100 butterfly (55.69) and first in the 200 fly (1:59.64). Both times are NCAA "B" qualifying times.
MARINERS
I guess I can only think of a short rebuttal to Blaine Newnham's wishes to hand Felix Hernandez a spot in the rotation. Baseball is way more mental of a sport than football and basketball, and Newnham made comparisons to the youth of LeBron James and Reggie Bush. It's apples and oranges here.
SEAHAWKS
The Seahawks are still without a president and a vice president of football operations.
BASKETBALL
The Marvin Williams Watch
In North Carolina's 110-76 stomping on the road at Virginia (snapping a 5-game losing streak there), Marvin Williams notched a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, along with a token assist. He shot 6-for-8 from the floor and hit on all three of his three-point attempts. All of this in a mere 16 minutes of play off the bench.
The Tar Heels host NC State on Thursday (4p, ESPN).
Huskies
Can the Huskies stop Ike Diogu? Or can they only hope to contain him? Why did I just totally rip off Dan Patrick?
The Huskies play at Arizona State today (12:45p, CBS).
Bulldogs
Gonzaga beat the Portland Pilots 91-79. JP Batista is becoming one hell of a player, and last night he scored 25 and grabbed 12 boards.
The Zags host Saint Mary's on Thursday (FSNNW)
Sonics
Percy Allen's got a point here. How many good young coaches are there in the NBA? Why is it that after an NBA coach is fired, we immediately ask, "maybe (big name guy) will come back to coaching?" It is kind of perplexing, in a way.
Upcoming...
Tomorrow vs. San Antonio (7p, FSNNW)
Tuesday at Sacramento (7p, FSNNW)
Saturday vs. Charlotte (7p, FSNNW)
HOCKEY
Seattle beat Everett 3-2. Aaron Gagnon scored two power-play goals against the best penalty-killing unit in the league. Everett outshot Seeattle 23-20. Leland Irving stopped 17 for the Silvertips, and Bryan Bridges stopped 21 for Seattle. Everett dropped into third place in the US Division behind...
Portland beat Tri-City 2-1. Portland opened the scoring on a Darrell May goal in the first period, which was answered no a 2nd-period power play by Ian McDonald of the Americans. The score held up until Dan DaSilva scored with 11 seconds left to go in the overtime to get the two points in the standings and vault themselves over Everett for second in the US Division. Tri-City outshot Portland 26-21. Blake Grenier stopped 25 in the Portland net.
Kelowna beat Vancouver 2-1. It was a pretty evenly played game for 58 minutes, but a bout of confusion among the Giants in their own zone was enough for the Rockets to take advantage and rob the Giants of what should have at least been a tie. Adam Courchaine scored the only Vancouver goal on a power play in the second period that tied the game at 1-1. The Giants outshot the Rockets 26-24. Marek Schwarz stopped 22 for the Giants.
Utah beat Manitoba 3-2 in a shootout. Both of the Moose's goals came late in their periods and both tied the game. Jimmy Roy got his goal with 15.3 seconds left in the first period to tie the game at 1-1, and Peter Sarno made good on a 5-on-3 in the final minute of play in the third period to net the Moose another single point heading into the shootout. The Moose lost on the sixth skater of the shootout. They outshot Utah 38-36. Wade Flaherty stopped 33 of 35 for Manitoba.
Puget Sound beat Spokane 5-2. It was a much easier win than the night before, as the Tomahawks were able to jump out to a 3-1 lead pretty early, leaving the outcome of the game in little doubt. Also surprising was the total lack of big fights and bad blood spilling over from the night before, possibly tempered by the suspensions of two Tomahawk players and apparently the head coach, who watched from the south end of the rink rather than from the bench.
Upcoming...
Tonight: Everett at Tri-City
Tomorrow: Grand Rapids at Manitoba
Tuesday: Grand Rapids at Manitoba, Queen City at Puget Sound
Wednesday: Spokane at Seattle, Vancouver at Red Deer, Queen City at Puget Sound
