Mariners!

24 runs off 32 hits in a sweep of the Detroit Tigers in Detroit. 5 home runs in 3 games and a 414 batting average with runners in scoring position.

• Miguel Olivo is hitting well(for now).
• Bedard goes 7 innings with only 1 earned run for his first win after 4 forgettable starts. His change up was definitely "back", made hitters look stupid golfing for balls before they came across the plate.
• Justin Smoak comes back and shows power that the M's haven't had in years.
• Bullpen hasn't given up runs. This is good for a baseball team.
• Michael Pineda
• Felix Hernandez

Last in AL West. Need a new motto.

Brian Mullan is suspended for 10 games and fined 5k. Good. This suspension equals the longest that the MLS has even dealt. at 35, Mullan really needs to reevaluate his approach to soccer. Watching the tackle again and again he looks like a frustrated child on a tiny soccer field. I know all about that, it reminded me of something I did when I was probably 6 during a game at game farm park. I got angry about something and took off after the kid with the ball, "running as hard as I could". I wanted the ball and I was gonna score so I got to him as fast as I could and somehow once I got there I rolled over the top of him. Somersault. Really blurry memory but I think that the ref stopped play for a second and that was it. Mullan had that same mentality going into the tackle that broke Steve Zakuani's leg, he needs to change that. I think he will, he apparently has been shaken up by the incident which of course he should be, and in the future he will be watched more closely by referees.

<....... Dumb Man

THE SOUNDERS PLAY TOMORROW AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO WATCH THE GAME SO HERE'S WHAT I DID. I AGREED TO BE IN TACOMA TO BUY A TV FROM SOMEONE ON CRAIGSLIST WHO WANTS TO ROB/RAPE/KILL ME AT THE SAME TIME AS THE GAME STARTS!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

"A report from the Kern County Crime Lab states, Josh Lueke matches this DNA from the anal swab"

Yeah but who else's DNA was on that anal swab?

"The woman told police she remembered vomiting into the toilet at the apartment. While doing so, the woman told police someone she could not identify was standing at her side masturbating on her."

Well, at least someone is willing to "do barf hole".

"She said she passed out, and when she awoke at around 8:45 a.m., she told police she was lying on a couch with her pants down and other parts of her clothing were missing."

Duh! Did you really want to do barf hole with clothes on? Also, have you ever tried anal rape with pants on?

"She told police she felt violated and that she never agreed to have sex with anyone."

Oh come on! Women always leave themselves open for rape and then blame men for cashing in on their sleeping holes. This one is no different. Why is it ok for a woman to drink and party and somehow not expect rape? Grin and bear it. This is life, no one said it was going to be easy.

Lamar Neagle, not as bad as he looks.

Did you notice the 2 minutes of black out during the Seattle Sounders FC at New York Red Falls? Neither did I, we were all probably too drunk. 2 minutes into stoppage time the ball fell in front of Lamar Neagle after Goal Keeper Slappy Sutton deflected Fredy Montero's free kick. Neagle set the ball with his knee and let it bounce once before taking a shot directly in front of the goal. Perfect position, perfect chance with the goalie still off balance from the free kick deflection. Neagle's shot went sailing over the goal, not even close. However, what many of us did not see is that the goal was replaced minutes earlier with a 2 feet high 4 feet wide goal, corresponding with new MLS rules for the 2011 season... "rule 21 b: before the referee can spray lines on the pitch prior to free kicks in stoppage time the goal must be replaced with an outstretched fishing net on poles." While it may have looked like Neagle kicked the ball 250 feet in the air while he was within 3 yards of the goal he really would have kicked it in the top right corner for a well finished game tying goal in stoppage time! "It's not my fault", said Neagle after the game. "I thought it was a normal sized net, I mean i just subbed in... How was I supposed to know?"
