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 ›

Ex-Garfield High and UW star Brandon Roy would seem to have a lock on the NBA Rookie of the Year award, but the Blazers aren't taking any chances. They've teamed with Portland-based Leatherman to create a limited-edition Brandon Roy tool which they'll send to 250 ROY voters. They are also selling a few. more ›

We don't know about you, but when we were 19, we made some pretty indefensible decisions. Baking a pizza while blind drunk, then forgetting about it, causing the NYC fire department to evacuate our girlfriend's dorm while we were passed out in her bed comes to mind. more ›

So. The Huskies. The team that's our city's best chance at a 2007 championship trophy, and they can't even beat the Cougs. Historical fact: No team has ever lost to Washington State University and gone on to win the championship of anything. more ›

After the Huskies' played the last five minutes of last night's game [Times, P-I, S.F. Chronicle] as if they'd been inhabited by the spirit of Mike Jensen, we got a little chippy with our Kenmore dryer and kicked the inanimate-ing shit out of it. The Dawgs are a young team, and psychological meltdowns happen. We're not too worried about the team, they actually played terrific for 35 minutes, especially the first half when they stayed... more ›

As the NBA's 10th worst team, the Sonics had about a 1/25 chance of getting one of the top three picks, and about a 9/10 chance of getting the 10th pick. They did not pick up an ace "on the river" however (if you have been unemployed in the past year you will know what this means), and so the tenth pick is theirs. more ›

On Friday, Issaquah High pulled off its second earth-shattering upset of the year, defeating Bellevue High's nationally-ranked football team. more ›
