Mariners get swept

Today the Seattle Mariners were swept by the Los Angeles Angels losing 6-1. Seattle lost the first two games of the series 8,4 and 7,6. Seattle's pitching has not been good, young star Felix Hernandez is likely to miss 3-4 starts with soreness in his elbow, and Jeff Weaver who they signed after he won the world series last season has an ERA (earned run average) of 6.44. The Mariner bats are doing well but they can't be expected to put up big numbers every game. The pitching has to get better for the Mariners to be successful.

Red Sox get out the brooms

Today, the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 7-6. Completing a three-game sweep of their bitter rivals. This is the first sweep of the Yankees at home for Boston since 1990. In their win today the Red Sox hit an impressive four home runs in a row. The homers were hit by Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek. The scores of the first two games of the series were 7,6 and 7,5 with Boston on top.

NFL gets tough

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has issued new off the field policies regarding player conduct. These policies came with the announcement that the Titans Pacman Jones would be suspended for all of the 2007 season, and that the Bengals Chris Henry would be suspended for 8 games. The suspensions are due to numerous run-ins with the law that the players had.

M's off to good start

The Seattle Mariners won the same amount of wins against the Oakland A's all of last season as they have in the first three games this season. They started the season off with Felix Hernandez on the mound and a convincing 4-0 win against the A's, then they won 8-4 with help from Yuniesky Betancourt who hit a tie breaking homer in the seventh. Yet the Mariners couldn't sweep the A's they lost the final game of the opening series 9-0 as the pitching and batting both struggled. Even with the loss things look promising for the M's this season. Fans can see hope of not finishing last in the division again. Lets hope the success continues.

Dice-K wins first start

Boston pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka or Dice-K lived up to the hype in his first major leage start. The nearly $100 million the Red Sox paid for his services worked out in his first start. Dice-K pitched 7 innings while giving up six hits, one homer, one walk and he struck out 10. The Red Sox won 4-1.

Pacman Jones in more trouble

Tennesse Titans player Adam "Pacman" Jones is in more trouble off the field. ESPN reports that police in Las Vegas will recomend to the district attorney that Jones be charged with "one count of feleony coercion and also a misdemeanor count of battery and a misdemeanor count of threat to life." This happened at a club in vegas that turned into a triple shooting that left one person paralyzed. The Titans were already wondering what to do with Jones. This is one more on the list of off the field problems that has occured since Jones was drafted by the Titans. It looks like Jones will have more to worry about than the decision the Titans make regarding his future, he will have to worry about what courts decide.

Tribute to Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks Center Retires

Robbie Tobeck will no longer be snapping the ball to Matt Hasselbeck. After seven seasons in Seattle and 13 in the NFL, the former Washington State Cougar is hanging up his cleats at the age of 36.
Tobeck debated retirement after last season but decided to come back for one more. He was sidelined the later part of the season with an infection, helping him make the decision to retire.

Seahawks Blow Close Game

The Seattle Seahawks fail to advance to the next round even though the Chicago Bears gave the Hawks several chances to win the game Sunday.
A game with this much riding on it never should have reached overtime if not for key mistakes made in the fourth quarter by Seattle.
Late in the fourth quarter, on a pivotal fourth and one in Chicago territory, Seattle opted to go for it but failed to convert when Matt Hasselbeck mishandled the snap. This failure to muscle out even one yard to keep a possible game wining drive alive is the Seattle Seahawks season in a nutshell.
Nevertheless, with only minutes remaining, Seattle once again was given an opportunity to work their way down the field to give Josh Brown a chance at a game wining field goal. However, the drive was shut down after some questionable play calling, only a mere thirteen yards out of Brown’s range.
The outcome was undoubtedly sealed with the game headed to overtime. Even with the Hawks wining the coin toss in overtime, they were unable to muster a drive that would have sent them to the NFC championship game for a second year.
Seattle fails to live up to expectations losing 27-24.
