BHS prank

Wednesday night some BHS students (possibly grads) doused police cruisers with white paint. 8 cars were tagged in all.

Final I guess

Ok so I guess I’m suppose to give my self a grade on my blog (B) and explain why. Well why I gave my self a B is because I only make one or two mistakes in my entire blog. My strengths are that my posts give everyone the chance to share there side of the story. Some more strengths are being able to share my opinion in a sometimes calm and collective matter and write a descent amount on each post.What would draw someone back if they were a visiting reader is if you like sports of any kind whether it be baseball (mariners) football (seahawks) soccer you can talk about it here after I decide to post it. Plus if you like to trash a team in a semi respectable way then come on down.

Now I guess I also have to talk about the drawbacks and my weakness in my blog. My weakness is that this blog is about one thing and one thing only and that’s sports most peoples blogs like for example Erin’s blog talks about softball as well as summer planning etc. My other weakness is not checking for errors. If I was a blog review I would just say be a little more open to things besides sports but sports is my life.

What I learned from my blog is to express my thoughts on sports in a semi nice manner. A blog is different from a journal in that its like written schedule of what you did but my blog is about what other people do and I give my thoughts. And yes I will keep my blog goin because it would be cool for everyone to share what they are doing over the summer.

You never know what you’re gonna get

If you’re a Mariners fan you never know what you’re gonna get (Forrest Gump). Yesterday against the Redsox the Mariners had better luck than the 08 Sonics had in the NBA draft (they were suppose to get the # 2 pick but they got the #4 pick saying that they didn’t have a lot of luck). The Mariners got three runs off of Dice-K who was 8-0 in his first 9 starts. Dice-K left in the 4th innings with an “apparent injury”. Mariners pitcher Miguel Batista who led the Mariners w/15 wins last season this year it 3-6 in his first 9 starts. Miguel also gave up three runs but Miguel lasted seven innings and striking out 2.

Thank you to the Mariners

I would just like to take the time to thank the Seattle Mariners including the front office and not just for this year but for about three to four years of below average baseball (04-08 except for last season). Now don’t get me wrong the Mariners front office have made some good moves but the bad over shadows the good. The Mariners were very good from 2001 in which they won 116 games to 2003 and during that time the Mariners won more than 90 games during the regular season. Since then the Mariners highest win total in the regular season is 88.

Mcdonalds drive through+DUI=Lofa Tatupu

Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu was arrested for DUI this passed Saturday. He blew a .158 on the alcohol which is twice the legal limit.

Let the free fall continue…

After today the Mariners have now lost 5 strait games, the final 2 games from the Cleveland Indians series and the 3 from the Yankees. Three of those games were because of two things 1: the Mariners can’t get any offense going and 2 the Starting pitchers can’t go deep in games.

Mariners bullpin falls apart in extra innings

In the rubber match of a three game series with the Cleveland Indians the Mariners had to go to extra innings to decide the winner. But first Mariners starter Miguel Batista went 7 innings giving up 1 run on 4 hits, walking 3 and striking out 6. The Mariners went score less into the top of the 9th inning until Ichiro scored on an error by Casey Blake. Then again in the top of the 10th inning Ritchie Sexson hit a towering home run to left field which was his 300th in his carear and his 100th home run as a Seattle Mariner. But then in the bottom of the 10th J.J Putz got the basses loaded with 1 out. Then J.J walked Grady Sizemore which forced in a run. Then Putz struck out David Dellucci and Casey Blake. Then in the bottom of the 11th inning Sean Green gave up a single to Asdrubal Cabrera which allowed Jason Michaels to score. The final score 3-2.

Mexico vs Canada set for May 31st in Seattle

When Joe Roth and Drew Carey brought a new MLS team to Seattle they said that “The world’s game is coming to Seattle” and that’s just what is happening. On April 6 Seattle hosted Mexico vs China at Quest field (were the Seattle Sounders FC will play). Now Seattle is going to host the Brazil National team vs Canada’s National soccer team. When Mexico played China and won 1-0 there were 56,416 (I was one of them) fans. Now with Brazil with there famous bright yellow and green lined jerseys and the trio of KaKa, Ronaldinho and Robinho and Alexandre Pato there will be more fans and it will be louder the a Seahawks game with the famous 12th man (fans). Tickets go on sale next Monday at 10 AM.

Seahawks add 3

The Seahawks added three players today. They have signed former University of  Washington DT Larry Tripplet, former New York Giants LB Wesley Mallard and claimed QB Dalton Bell off waivers. These moves just add depth and the best signing was Tripplet who will have out at DT.

Seahawks 2008 Draft

My review of the Seahawks 2008 NFL draft. Seattle was very active with trades on day 1 of the draft.

1st round pick #28 (via Dallas): Lawrence Jackson DE University of Southern California.

Review: The Seahawks traded there 1st round pick 25th overall to the Dallas Cowboys for there 1st round pick 28th overall, 4th round pick and 5th round pick. The pick of Jackson was a little bit of a surprise to me. We all knew that the Seahawks we coming into the draft looking for defensive line help. Jackson is not a quick pass rushing defensive end. The upside to Jackson is the he has long arms to swat down balls. He is also versatile in that he can play defensive end and defensive tackle. The smart side of this pick is that the Seahawks defensive coordinator John Marshall likes to rotate players in and out and create different schemes.
