Last night the Colorado Rockies won the National League pennant and removed themselves from the dreaded list of franchises that have never made it to the World Series.

While you're enjoying an unseasonably sunny summer afternoon, we will be at Safeco Field, showing our undying support for the 2007 Seattle Mariners, authors of one of the greatest collapses in baseball history.

As April showers turn to May flowers Seattle sports fans continue to hope that this spring will bring better times for the local professional baseball team. But, the Mariners mediocre effort has driven Seattlest to the George and Dragon in Fremont more and more often to catch the latest European soccer action. Here's why.

All-Pro Alcohol Consumer Jerramy Stevens will play football for Tampa Bay next season. The Buccaneers signed Stevens after the draft on Sunday (terms undisclosed) but not before having a little sit-down. "We had a very serious talk with him today," said GM Bruce Allen. "I think Jerramy Stevens is a good young man. He is focused on doing things right. More importantly, he has to do things right."

We generally don't get that excited about the NFL Draft. To us it’s all analysis and no action-- and besides the newspaper prints which defensive end we've never heard of went fifth to Tampa Bay.

He's been with the Cowboys, Browns and Jets.

When Dennis Green's Cardinals beat San Francisco on Sunday it gave the Seahawks the NFC West title, and with it a back door entrance into the playoffs.

Yuniesky Betancourt and his nine career home runs now anchor the Mariners' lineup. For the past two games, manager Mike Hargrove's been batting him third.

The Mariners completed a three-game getting swept yesterday, losing 7-6 to the A's. But the team's marketing department, desperate to unload tickets for a mid-week series vs. the Devil Rays, found a silver lining, as evidenced by this "Mariners Mail" we received this morning:

As the Mariners continue to stagger through the second week of the season our optimism following the 3-1 start has dropped a bit, okay a huge bit. We may need to take a break tonight since we have spent the last few games with our head in our hands.

Federal judge Richard Posner defends President Bush's extra-legal (meaning, surprisingly, not legal at all) spying program thusly:

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act makes it difficult to conduct surveillance of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents unless they are suspected of being involved in terrorist or other hostile activities. That is too restrictive. Innocent people, such as unwitting neighbors of terrorists, may, without knowing it, have valuable counterterrorist information.

Jamal Strong, a speedy AAA outfielder who played twelve games with the M's in 2003, is suspended 10 games after failing a drug test, putting him in violation of the MLB policy on performance-enhancing drugs. In a word, he's on the juice.

Baseball season is underway, and, unless they are Tampa Bay Devil Rays, major league hitters can once again enjoy the sharp pleasure of cleanly striking a pitched ball.
