With the Mariners taking the rest of the summer off, Seattlest (along with some other local rag) is adopting the Chicago White Sox as our fake team for the rest of the season. This became official with last week’s trade of Ken Griffey Jr (number 17?!?!). Griffey, who last played in a playoff game on October 5, 1997, is now only half a game back in the AL Central. Plus the White Sox are totally......

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. Don always thinks of Norman Bates on Mother's Day. But that aside, when the mother in his home is not out siphoning the neighbor's gas tanks, she wants to bond with Mothers Earth and Nature.......

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... Donte is saving up his energy for Alpacapalooza this weekend. Sure, he'll be attending Rithma at Trinity on Friday, and DJ Minx on Saturday at the Baltic Room, but Alpacapalooza (and the high potential for funnel cake) is what has him really......

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: Cave Man Kitchens: Melt-in-your-mouth barbeque that's worth the drive to Kent. This is the very barbeque that the Chicago White Sox ate after clinching the 1983 AL West division crown at the Kingdome, and at......

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). Seattlest has been a......

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. This Series victory, the Chi-Sox first since 1917, brings joy not only to South Siders (of which Editor Dan is one) but also to Venezuelans. Sox manager Ozzie Guillen is a native of that country, and pinko commie President Hugo Chavez......

These questions were submitted by clairvoyant readers. Q: Did Seattlest James have a baby yesterday? A: Yes--he did! Well, his wife did. If he had had the baby, you would be hearing about it on "A Current Affair," not here. The baby is a girl. Q: Did James and his wife name the baby yet? A: No. But when they name her, you will hear it here first. (Unless they name her "Rita Katrina,"......
