The M's win 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth on Ichiro's two-out walk-off single -- Ich's 148th hit of the season, which puts him exactly at the pace of his record-setting 262-hit season in 2004. Washburn allowed just 1 run in 7 IP in what may have been his last start as a Mariner, but didn't get the win due to a bullpen collapse. M's 52-48, 7.5 GB. Box score. Next game Weds. vs. TOR, 1:40 p.m.; Rowland-Smith vs. Halladay.

In every non-playoffs sports season, you can date the moment when your team's hopes collapsed. For the last place 2008 Mariners, it was approximately mid-April. This year's Mariners lasted far longer in the playoff hunt. Nevertheless, July 24-26 was their undoing.

All we missed was perhaps the most dramatic local sports event of the year, a three-overtime classic that included a team-record seven three pointers from Sue Bird, an ejection for Lauren Jackson, and twelve lead changes.

Swin Cash led the team in scoring for the third straight game, getting 18 points as the Storm jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Lauren Jackson made her impact on the defensive end, getting four blocks. Props also to Tanisha Wright, who had 7 assists. Storm 8-4, 2nd place, .5 GB. Box score. Next game Sunday vs. Chicago, 6 p.m.

Phew! What a day!

The Storm usually hold Cappie Pondexter in check, but not tonight as she nearly had a triple-double. They had issues with the refs, too, as LJ and Swin Cash both got technical fouls. Once again, the Storm got next to no production from their bench, which managed just 8 points. All starters finished in double figures. Storm 6-4, 1 GB. Box score. Next game Tues. vs. San Antonio at KeyArena, Noon.

The Storm tie Phoenix atop the Western Conference in an entertaining, fast-paced game reminiscent of last year's Pac-10 men's UW/Arizona battles. The Storm jumped ahead early behind Swin Cash's ten first quarter points, but the Mercury came back to grab the lead in the second half. Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson took over in the fourth, with Bird scoring 7 unanswered to open the quarter, and Jackson hitting a game-clinching three. Storm 5-2, T1st. Box score. Next game Friday vs. LA Sparks.
