With the eyes of the cycling world focused on the mountains of southern France, why would one of the best-known names in the sport be in Seattle today? Well, if you've been kicked out of cycling's top event because of your shady past and you describe your own team as "having come to symbolize cycling's doping scandal," the only obvious solution is to deny everything and go on a book tour.

-20-year-old Mariner Adam Jones makes his major league debut at about 4:07 tonight, batting ninth and playing centerfield.

It was nice playing along as a wannabe soccer fan for a while. Yes, yes, we know you're not done yet. But, you see, the Tour starts this weekend. And now that the media machine known as Lance Armstrong has left the building, Seattlest is actually (gasp) excited to watch this time around. The past few years of the Tour have been like sex between people who've been married forever--still feels pretty OK, but you know exactly how it all is going to happen. We'd give you the blow-by-blow of who is lined up to win the yellow, but everyone is already doing that, and the best part is that it is a long and varied list of contenders this year. (Apparently there's that whole doping controversy-palooza as well, in case you've been living under a rock.)

Let’s face it. You are not Lance Armstrong. You're probably OK with that fact, and Seattlest is proud of you nonetheless. But, maybe you still got a little inspired during the Tour de France and ran out and bought yourself a road bike. A few spins out and back on the Burke Gilman trail and you’re ready for something more interesting? Try the Tour de Peaks this weekend.
