The Washington Law Review calls dibs on this note topic. The “Super” hasn’t been in the logo since 1995, and most mentions of the team haven’t used it since, well, ever. Is the anchor liable for the consequential damages? Initially, Seattle did not think it necessary to provide a new basketball arena after it had [...]

It has been quite warm all week, and most of the azalea blossoms have fallen in the garden. So many shades of green filled the garden, and all the plants were patiently soaking in the sun and holding out for rain. We talked to an 87-year old man who lived in Japan for 40 years, [...]

Bench coach Jim Riggleman will run the Mariners for the rest of their lost season, beginning Friday night in Atlanta. The Mariners made the announcement before the team left on its road trip and three days after general manager Bill Bavasi was fired. McLaren was the second manager in the majors to be fired this [...]

Ray Allen moved from Seattle to Boston. Paul Pierce stayed put. Its the finals, man. Youve got to suck it up and go all out, he said before practice at the Los Angeles Lakers training facility. I feel like I can go (Sunday night). A day after the Lakers colossal collapse in Game 4 of [...]

You straight took over the game last night. You helped lead one of the best comebacks ever in NBA playoff history. You showed Kobe Bryant that scoring 30 points isn’t the only way to win a game. The whole game. And now your team, the Boston Celtics, are on the verge of winning the NBA [...]

That was last season when Seattle won a surprising 88 games, and was in contention for a playoff berth into September. That performance, and the offseason acquisitions of pitchers Erik Bedard and Carlos Silva, caused many to believe the Mariners could overtake the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West this season. Despite being armed [...]

Makes you smarter. The Brazilian National Team arrived today in Seattle to begin preparations for their Saturday night match against Canada at Qwest Field. The Canadian team arrived at the start of the week. About 37,000 seats have been sold, maning there are lots of good ones left. (Ticket information is available at www.soundersfc.com. Perhaps [...]

I bet the financial state of the league is improving fast as teams move to SSS and get big name sponsors. This is extremely good news for the team and the league. Great for the league, great for Seattle. Its all about who’s got the budget at the time the for sale sign is posted [...]

Then, seattle went with kevin durant and durant would go on to become this seasons rookie of the year (uhm, rookie of what year strictly? Shouldnt it be called the rookie of the season or something? Hehehe).the university of texas standout, a 6 9 swingman with a wingspan of almost 7 5 led all rookies [...]

No, not the comedy magician (which was spelled Ballentine anyway*). He is the subject of Jason Churchill’s farm report in at Seattle P-I.com. Outfield prospect Wladimir Balentien, 23, has performed well at every level of the minors and turned his game up a notch last season at Triple-A Tacoma. He has always had middle-of-the-order power, [...]

See instructions for fixing the problem. Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki may be the most prolific hitter ever, getting more base hits (1,592) in a seven-year span than anyone. But the 5-9, 160-pound outfielder could easily be a bona fide home run hitter, if he chose power over productivity. Saturday night in Anaheim, he rocketed one batting [...]

First, the Browns took Rubin with the 190th pick, which they secured from Seattle in September when the team sent Charlie Frye to the Seahawks. At 6-2 and 315 pounds, the Browns add significant bulk with Rubin, who made 76 tackles in two years at Iowa State. He began his career at Trinity Valley (Texas) [...]

This was the biggest non-surprise of the draft for me. Carlson’s skills fit perfectly in Seattle’s offense and the fact he’s played against some of the top competition in the country. The reason he fell was because of his dropoff in production, but that was due to bad play from the quarterbacks. He can block, [...]

It wasnt a pretty game, but it certainly turned into one dramatic rollercoaster ride. Much of the game was punctuated by the uncanny ability of the two starters, Vicente Padilla and Felix Hernandez, to get out of trouble. By the time the game was over, Texaswould leave10 men on base, Seattle 15. The real story [...]

The broader chain of Wal-Mart stores has no plans to limit food purchases, however. Rice futures hit a record high amid global food inflation, although one rice expert said the warehouse chains may be reacting less to any shortages than to stockpiling by restaurants and small stores. Sam’s Club followed Seattle-based Costco Wholesale Corp.’s, which [...]

The deal for Safeco, based in Seattle, will help expand the Boston-based insurers operations to the West Coast. Safecos business has been battered recently from increased competition in auto insurance and higher payouts for losses in the California wildfires. The company reported $144.5 million in fourth-quarter profit in January, down nearly a third from the [...]

Monday will hit before anyone can make it to Seattle’s Jewish bookstore (yes, singular) and the Haggadot will probably be picked-over, anyway, and we really don’t want to buy something we don’t like very much. If anyone here has a link to a complete, fairly traditional, but not too complicated, Haggadah with both English and [...]

It was fun to be back at the track. In Grand Prairie Lone Star Park usually is open from April to July for Thoroughbreds so its been awhile since I have been back to the track. Usually we go every opening night at Lone Star Park, but it was last Thursday which I was in [...]

A giant image of the Tibetan spiritual leader is projected above, and an interpreter is at right.
