how cute is shannon drayer, blogging about our mariners:

I don't know if I have ever explained this before but whenever anyone asks if the travel is tough, I answer, actually, the home part is tougher. Don't get me wrong, I love to be home, but when I am home, especially if it is for a short homestand, I find I spend all my time catching up from the last road trip and getting ready for the next. When I am on the road, I have already taken care of everything before I left. Make sense?

<3 her

i like anomalies even lil ones

Supporters of Caracas FC celebrate with fire the victory of their team against Deportivo Cuenca of Ecuador in their 2009 Libertadores Cup football match at Olimpico Stadium in Caracas on May 12, 2009. Caracas FC won 4-0. AFP

oh my god.

ken's has some aerosol deoderant on clearance. we could pick some up for the next sounders game?

wanna learn something about a breaking ball?

I'm beginning to think the reason there's been a rift in the clubhouse between Ichiro and the rest of the Mariners is because Ichiro isn't retarded.

now watching mariners v angels

aww lucky!

what a fast game btw

hope they can hold it down

they did!!!

nice work marinaros

yeah, that was pretty fun

maybe when you're watching them they'll win. then it WOULD be fun

so they'll win one more time (tomorrow)?

The 1970’s Pittsburgh Pirates logo looks like Tim McCarver.

this one's on first thing in the morning

liked this comment about the proposed us iran friendly

All American eyes turn to Tehran, as a brave group of Yanks step out on the field. Each one of them represents America — Jozy Altidore, Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, José Francisco Torres — and children across the states watch in awe.

A love for the sport grows in them. What a beautiful game. The impact isn't lost on them, as they look up at their parents and grandparents, the very ones in which fear and confusion of Iran is so deeply instilled.

With each kick of the ball, little Johnny or little D.J. or little Pablo or little Lee watch their new idols and strive to be like them.

Then they see Heath Pearce stink up the left side of the field, and they turn off the TV to go outside and play basketball and baseball.

u.s. ended up losing 3-2 but hey it was an amazing tour nament overall

ye, the twitterers were generally decent about the loss, mad respect for the team and especially mr. howard.

eb told me that on tuesday junior wore only one batting glove, and they played billie jean for his first at bat. cutie.

joel piniero has a really gross mustache right now. look it up

gross! i was thinking about mustaches this morning, and how hard it is for me to like them. except in the case of thomas fehlmann, perhaps.

i have to say, though, it's better than ryan franklin's beard

felix threw a gem tonight. he is so fun to watch when he's on. reminds me of when we watched him starting out

they traded yuni!!!

bye tubby cuban, hello pitching prospects. thanks KC!

mark cuban's stuckush brother

was so hoping when i went to cunan's wiki that he'd be from KC but no. pittsburgh

sounders two houston one. looked good in HD

mariners made another trade today. minor league shlub for shlub but still, i like the activity

way to go seattle teams!

i had always heard this guy was a good writer .... writing about the kc royals never interested me that much. except for now

llol at this about yuni

I like John Dewan’s plus/minus numbers for defense so maybe those will be a bit better …

Dewan plus/minus
2007: -10
2008: -19
2009: -13

OK, well, that’s horrific. Betancourt last year ranked 35th among shortstops, this year he’s 33rd, and you might recall there are only 30 teams in baseball.
