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. Add in reasonable concession prices and a really bus-friendly location, and we are sold. Game time......

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. Rossi will be making the announcement with fellow new minority owner Jay Buhner, where it’s a safe bet that Rossi will make sure that the two are seated. This will complete Rossi's reverse-Bush résumé-- elected official, lost disputed election for higher......

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. Then Beltre grounded into a double play.......

The results for the Baseball Hall of Fame voting are in. Cal Ripken, Jr., and Tony Gwynn make the Hall, Mark McGwire wasn't even close. Jay Buhner got one vote, about 408 short of what he needed to make the Hall. Another former Mariner, Goose Gossage, also fell shy, but by only 21 votes.......

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! The Mariners have had five players on an SI cover--Gaylord Perry, Ken Griffey, Jr. (four times), Jay Buhner, Randy Johnson, and Ichiro. Griffey's first SI cover was the......

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. So, thank you, today's Seattle Times, for dredging up those memories and tempting us to......

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. It never hurts to check the promotions calendar before heading......
