I dont care if its Longoria, see how far he can hit it… you dont gift wrap them a potential rally.

Basically Washburn sucks….

Sweeney keeps getting 87mph hangers right where he should want them

he hits them square and they just die in the shallow outfield. I’m going to go ahead and predict that Chavez is going to have a higher ISO on the season than Sweeney.

Jarrod Washburn threw 103 pitches and struck out NINE batters.

John Parrish was traded to the opposing team, but that did not occur during the game.

I think I've said it before:

— Respect the shit out of hockey players. Athletes through and through, and some pretty incredible ones at that.

— Find the game a bit too hard to follow, and I’ve never had a team to root for.

Just like with MLS, if Seattle got an NHL team, I would give the sport much more of a chance than I have given it in the past.
