This Seattlest is not the most baseball-crazed tool in the shed, but we had a damn good time at last night's Mariners vs. Red Sox game.

Swear to God we’ve never seen a mascot more pissed off.

The Seahawks and Bears have never met in the playoffs, however, Seattle teams have danced with the Windy City's finest in the postseason.

Sometimes you earn a win, and sometimes the other team gives you one. Here are the all-time screw-ups by opponents that helped Seattle teams win big games.

According to the official rules, when a baseball team forfeits a game, the score is recorded thusly: the forfeitting team gets zero runs, the opponents gets as many runs as there were innings. In the case of most games, 9-0.

Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, the White Sox announcer (and former GM), has a blog that Deadspin linked to today.

It's Mother's Day weekend. Some people say we should remember our mothers all year-round, not just on a single day. But we do! With yo momma jokes! Seattlest contributors share their favorites, along with their plans for enforced family togetherness.

Daylight savings time either starts or ends on Sunday, which means that you either get or lose an hour! What are you going to do or not do with it? Here's our plans...

We'd like to say that this year's crop of commercials might be the most entertaining thing about this Mariners season, but we've seen the commercials. It won't be all bad, though - The White Sox are coming through in April, right?

Something tells us that the world-beating, intense Ichiro who disliked his relaxed 2005 clubhouse is going to be none-too-pleased when he finally arrives in Peoria.

Turns out that a low-fat diet doesn't reduce your risk of getting cancer or heart disease. Thank you, thank you, thank you, medical science. Cheer over your spilled skim milk and then make haste to the following former danger zones:

One week after pissing off fans of evolution and above-average DH production by signing Carl Everett, the Mariners agreed to pay Jarrod (rhymes with "Herod") Washburn $36 million for his unique brand of stultifyingly mediocre pitching.

Freddy pitched seven scoreless innings for the Chicago White Sox to help bring the first World Series Championship to the Southside since 1917 in his first full season with the team. Hoopty horns blared, pipe bombs and meth labs detonated and fans went wild on the south side of Chicago and in a very localized area of north Seattle (today to be known as Chicago's far far far northwest side).

If your local sausage merchant, empanada slinger or Seattlest editor seems to have an extra bop in his bop sh'bop sh'bop today, it's because the Chicago White Sox won the World Series last night.

Last night, Alex Rodriguez, Seattle's most-hated former P-I Sports Star of the Year, came to the plate in the 9th inning of the Yankees' must-win game against the Angels. Derek Jeter, the anti A-Rod, had singled to lead off the inning.

It’s not the best time to be a Seattle sports fan right now. Sure the Sonics were able to re-sign Vladimir Radmanovic for the upcoming season. However, we are a bit worried that he turned down six years $42 million in order to be an un-restricted free agent at the end of next season, but right now we will take what we can get.
