Dear Santa...

As you know the Washington sports team has been very awful this year and deserve to be on the "naughty" list but it's the time of Christmas spirit so please show some and can you give them the following...

For the Mariners...

1.Carlos Silva to spontaneously combust if not then produce league average numbers.

2.For Washburn to be thrown under a bus or have his plane crash hit a mountain and explode BUT survive and be traded.

3.For the Yankees and Angels be placed in a giant Cube in the middle of nowhere that has trap rooms.

4.For Willie Bloomquist to never come.. oh wait it's already happened HELL YEAH!

5.A LH power bat or Rocco Baldelli...

6.For the Giant's to give us back Tim Lincecum.

For the Sonics...

oh yeah...

For the Hawks/Dawgs/Cougs...

1.... Just help them...

Meh feel free to fill in any more things...

The Mariners never got Lincecum in the first place.

Maybe if you phrased it as “Give Washington Lincecum back” that would be better.

Also, maybe since the Thunder are so bad, that Oklahoma City will give us the Sonics back. I would hope so.

For the Sounders to be taken seriously by more than the hardcore soccer fans

and for the MLS in general to raise its level of play.

And maybe the NHL will come to Seattle.

One can dream.

And taxpayers would have to front for a new arena?! I'm in!

But seriously, I’d love for the NHL to expand here.

I fucking hate you Mariners

Portland first

we already have an NHL-ready arena.

I wouldn't mind commuting down to Portland to see an NHL game.

It would be better than crossing a border to another country to see the closest NHL team.

What ever happened to those rumors that the Phoenix Coyotes were going to move to Portland? I remember hearing rumors about that like back in 2000 or 2001, would you might know what every happened?

I wouldn't mind seeing a game down there..but I'd have no connection to them at all. They'd be like the Trailblazers.

I fucking hate you Mariners

I would guess it would be no different than having Portlanders cheer for the Mariners and Seahawks.

They don't already?

I have eight watches. None of them are fake.

I think the NHL's financial catastrophe happened, to be honest

I know there’s a pretty strong groundswell of support for an NHL team here, or at least there was in 2003-04 or so, but the NHL’s financial house was such a mess pre-strike, and the clout of the league has been severely downsized post-strike, that relocation kinda went on the back burner (relocation to me also implies sale, and NHL franchises aren’t exactly selling like hotcakes these days). I’d be interested in cranking that groundswell back up again, though, it’d be great to get a second pro team here.

Plus Phoenix got a new arena

Dear Santa,

Please give us back the Sonics in a hurry. Good GM, 3 valuable building blocks, and tons of picks.

Also, please smite Silva.

Give me plane tickets to the USSM/LL meetup, and I would be content.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
