Umm. Ive seen this before


So there I was, watching a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the ninth. Morrow comes in, gets two outs, and the unexplained happens. He cant throw a strike. I mean, not a questionable strike, I mean a strike. So, bases loaded, 3 runs come across and a wasted win.
Morrow looked spooked. Morrow looked like he was trying too hard. I dont want to second guess the manager, but, for god sakes, we have been down this road too many times before. So this was tough to watch. Early offense, got on top of the starting pitcher, Bedard pitched great, and ugh.
I know its early. I know its 1 game. But Wak has got to know that this is what we have been subjected to for the last 3 years. And to watch it, brought back feelings of last year.
Well. there's always tomorrow, and atleast, for this team, we can say, hey we're .500

Ken Bone to take the reigns


PULLMAN, Wash. -- Portland State basketball coach Ken Bone will become the new coach at Washington State University, the Cougars said Monday.
Interesting. Ex-Husky coach, proven winner with a bad program. I like it. Not the youth movement that they took with Bennet and Wulff, Bone is 50, but, he's a proven winner. Utah State's Stew Morrill withdrew his name, I know they looked at A-B, but I like this hire.
Honestly, we recruit on the second tier, and this guy has connections. He can and has recruited in the northwest and I look forward to seeing what he brings. The question will be what happens to the recruits and young players. I hope he keeps the core, but only time will tell.
I dont blame TB. I dont agree with the faithful talking smack about him, he has an opportunity, you would take it, the man is making over a mil more. Before you get on here telling me you wouldnt or the committment he made, dollars is dollars.
I wish the best for TB, and I wish the best for Virginia. They got a steal. They got a great coach and a great coach that teaches team. I for one will root for Virginia. I dont understand the hate that people have now for TB. Its sports and its money.

Mariners 1-0, is this the best its gonna get?

Mariners beat the Twins in the opener today in Minnesota
Felix went a solid 8 innings, giving up one earned run and 6 strikeouts. An impressive start to the season

Definetly the news of the day was the impressive homer by Jr. Agree with the signing or not, how sweet was it it see that? Days of old, beautiful swing.
What a sight.

Well Mr Bedard, your up next....

Is this the only time we will be above .500? Time will tell, and so will we

Lets go ahead and add another one on the scoreboard



Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Reggie Williams was arrested Sunday night on a felony drug charge in Houston, FOXSports.com has learned.


Williams — a 2004 first-round draft choice who played the past five seasons in Jacksonville — was charged with possession of a controlled substance that police believe is cocaine following an altercation at a Houston nightclub.
Police spokesman Victor Senties said Williams was tasered during a confrontation with two off-duty officers working security at the Open City Bar and Lounge.
"Mr. Williams was at the front door area causing some sort of altercation," Senties said. "A witness alerted one of the officers to it. The officer went over and asked Mr. Williams several times to leave. He refused. At one point, the officer attempted to escort him out of club. Mr. Williams pushed the officer and almost knocked him down. At that point, the other officer came over to try and assist. Again, Mr. Williams was very combative. One (officer) had to deploy a (taser) to get into custody."

A couple of suprises


Matt Tuiasosopo, Shawn Kelley and Chris Jakubauskas made the team, and the Mariners choose Rob Johnnson as the Back up (Really should be starting) Catcher role, losing Jamie Burke in the process.
The only real suprise is Kelly to me. His ERA in spring training is 7+, but then again, Im not the manager. I did however sleep at a holiday inn last night and still think this is going to be a LONG season.
Opening night is one night away in Minnesota, and Im excited baseball is back

3-0, are you kidding me...come on, get on board


Freddie Ljungberg scored his first MLS goal, Kasey Keller recorded his third consecutive shutout and the expansion Seattle Sounders remained perfect with a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday
Steve Zakuani also scored for Seattle (3-0-0), which has yet to allow a goal through the first three games of its debut season.
It was the first loss of the season for Toronto (1-1-1), which beat Kansas City two weeks ago before tying Columbus last Saturday.
Seattle, which opened the year with home victories over New York and Real Salt Lake, had expected a tougher test in its first road game. Toronto, however, did little to impress the sellout crowd of 20,658 that braved cold, windy conditions to attend the team's home opener
