Fun Night, Dull Game, As Barcelona Toys With Sounders

We're thinking that next time we go to one of these friendlies, we'll just leave at halftime. The best part of the night was the pre-game and the first half. After that, it was duller than a PBS pledge drive.

Sounders 2, Houston 1 (OT)

Your Sounders advance to the finals of the U.S. Open Cup with this hard-fought, semifinal win over top rival Houston. The Rave Green looked likely to fall until a 89th minute goal from Nate Jaqua -- a Dynamo until this season. Stephen King got the go-ahead goal in the fourth minute of overtime, and the Sounders held on for the win. They'll play D.C. United for the Cup (and an automatic berth in the CONCACAF Champions League) on Sept. 2 in D.C.

Sounders 2, Portland 1

The Sounders advance to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, silencing 16,000 Timbers fans with a first minute goal. Roger Levesque, the goal-scorer, mocked the fans with his goal celebration, pretending to fall like a tree with Nate Jaqua pantomiming a lumberjack. Sweet. Stephen King had the other goal. Match report. Next game 7/7, U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal vs. Kansas City at Starfire Sports Complex.

M's Serve Baseball's Best Team; Lose Beltre: The Mariners started their road trip with a surprising 2-1 series win over the Dodgers, who have baseball's best record. The highlight was Felix Hernandez's nine-K performance on Saturday night, with homers by Griffey and Branyan providing the offense. Bad news came that night as well: Adrian Beltre will miss 6-8 weeks, he's getting surgery to remove painful bone spurs in his shoulder.

The Sounders lost their second to Chivas, falling ten points behind the Western Division leaders. Eduardo Lillingston scored on a rebound for the game's only goal. The Sounders attack is in disarray--Fredy Montero got subbed for after a sub-par performance, and Nate Jaqua will miss the next game after getting a red card. Match Report. Next game Saturday vs. San Jose.
