Super Bowl XLIII: The Lesser of Two Evils?

Super Bowl XLIII: The Lesser of Two Evils?

Spitfire is impressive to people who are mesmerized by flat screens, not unlike birds by shiny objects. Initially we felt disdain for the vulgar abundance of screens but eventually got sucked in ourselves. There’s just too much to ignore. The problem with Spitfire is it’s a blank slate. You would never know it was here, the only thing in the place that says "Seattle" is the liquor license. No "Hawk fan12" sports radio placards, no Sue Bird bobble head, nada. Disloyal like nearby Sport, but even worse because there was no discernible sports memorabilia anything--not even Boston crap--just a few sports-oriented paintings that look like they belong in Jay Buhner’s billiards room. more ›

Buhner Buzz Night Returns Friday in Everett

Just in time for the hot weather, the Everett AquaSox announce the return of "Buhner Buzz Night". Fans arriving before Friday night's game vs. the Tri-City Dust Devils can have their head shaved by the former Mariner rightfielder. The AquaSox are perennially one of the summer's best deals, with the best seats in the house costing only $15 each.

Dino Rossi in the Minority, Again

Dino Rossi in the Minority, Again

The scoreboard at Everett Memorial Stadium will be incredibly accurate this season. Why? Because Dino Rossi is buying a minority share in the Aquasox, and he tends to get bitchy when people lose count. more ›

Oakland 9, Mariners 0

Really the only thing worth remembering from last night's game was an amazing swing by Ichiro. In the 4th inning, Harden threw him a nasty splitter that fooled him. But he changed his swing mid-stroke, adjusted his bat downward, and reached the ball about a foot off the ground. And he didn't just make contact, which would've been an amazing feat in itself--he lined the ball into centerfield. more ›

It Took Only 29 Years, but....

The Seahawks finally made the cover of Sports Illustrated. Shaun Alexander, on the verge of breaking the all-time rushing touchdown record, is deemed worthy of the honor. The Dec. 19th edition's cover also has a small pic of Gonzaga star and Spokane native Adam Morrison. Northwest, represent! more ›

Memories and Milestones

Memories and Milestones

We don't know what the most scarring experience of your early 20s was-- a disastrous relationship, a lengthy illness, a deep body massage from these guys--but ours was suffering through the late innings of each and every 1997 Seattle Mariners game, as the washouts and has-beens the team collected for its bullpen found new and inventive methods of losing games. more ›

Baseball Swag Schedule

Seattlest once had a choice between Saturday and Sunday Mets games, and we chose Saturday because the schedule read "Free Mets Jersey Day." We thought to ourselves, "Score!" It will likely surprise no reader that the "jersey" in question was a thin t-shirt with jersey styling (v-neck, buttons down the front) printed on it. We laughed and laughed. And we still wear the shirt. more ›
