I went to the Mariners baseball game last Friday evening.  In all honesty, I wasn’t there for the baseball, I was there for a birthday celebration, the pregame Pyramid experience and a hotdog. 
But, as I realized when I arrived at Safeco, this was a very big series for the team.  3 games against the first […]

I was just thinking this week - I don’t even like the NBA, I don’t like the way the game is played, I don’t have a team (other than the default hometown Sonics and my childhood team Boston Celtics who haven’t been worth watching for 15 years).  Do I really care if the Sonics previous […]

Clay Bennett, the Chairman of the new Sonics owners group, just noted during his press conference, “We have no plans to move the Sonics from Seattle.”
I say they are playing in Oklahoma City by 2010 - at the latest. 
Unfortunately, Seattle most likely now has a 3 year lame duck team that will be cutting corners […]

Top 4 reasons the NBA Draft didn’t go as I hoped.

Adam Morrison to Charlotte. The Bobcats will never be on tv in Seattle. Check that, they will be on tv twice – once when they play in Seattle and once when Seattle plays out there.
Sonics Draft Sene. The Sonics might as well have thrown in […]

It’s been a busy week and I haven’t had time for the usual 4 or 5 blog posts.  Time to make up some ground. 

I’m going to watch the dreadful Mariners at Safeco tomorrow night… I hope the weather holds.
The NBA Playoffs have been incredible this year.  Great games, great matchups, and the style of the […]

Yesterday, I witnessed the best free event Seattle has to offer, the Windermere Cup.  A glimpse of the action…

I love NFL Draft day (Saturday). Two entire months of stale Super Bowl remnants end as the NFL puts on a two day made for tv experience where we can watch the over-analysis of talent, potential, attitude, background, and cohesion.
For every draft day sucess, there are at least one or two draft day debacles.  ESPN has put together a List of […]

Gorgeous!

Check out this new site which is aggregating a diverse group of Seattle bloggers posts.  It’s kind of like sitting at the Hilltop Ale House and listening in to all of the conversations happening around you.  There are some talented bloggers contributing already: Bernie Zimmerman, Jason Truesdell, Seattle Day Trips, and The Fan.

Thoughts of bbq’s and wiffle ball games

Best sandwiches in Seattle… easy. Check out their site. I’ve eaten there about 5 times, and it’s never disappointed. I go with “the bandit” every time. mmmm, beef brisquet and bbq sauce with cheddar cheese.
 

The sun is actually out in Seattle today, so I’m thinking I’m gonig to stock up on Vitamin D for the next three months!

I think I actually came close to picking the score of the Super Bowl correctly.
First quarter- Touchdown Darryl Jackson - Hawks 7, Steelers 0
Second quarter - Touchdown Roethlisberger - Hawks 7, Steelers 7
Second quarter - Long field goal by Josh Brown - Hawks 10, Steelers 7
Third quarter - Touchdown Willie Parker - Hawks 10, […]

Hawks 27
Steelers 21

Starbucks was a single coffee shop at the Pike Place Market. Microsoft was a year old, and T-bone steak was on special at Tradewell for $2.09 a pound.
