While their general civic coverage may leave a lot to be desired, the Seattle Weekly deserves credit for making a reasonable, consistent effort to cover Seattle's local sports teams despite being a culture-minded weekly rag.  In fact, this week's cover story is about Brandon Morrow, his breakout performance this season in the bullpen, some coincidental comparisons to Tim Lincecum, and his trek to Tacoma to convert into a starter.

Like any feature on sports from a rag that doesn't focus on baseball, there's not a lot of stathead-intensive analysis or much more than observational and anecdotal evidence.  But go ahead and give this story a look.  There's quotes from Bob Fontaine and some other scouting folks you wouldn't expect.
