The Seattle Seahawks looked good Saturday night at Kansas City, they beat the Chiefs 14-10….Matt Hasselbeck went 19 of 25 for 216 yards 2 td’s and 1 int……the running game for the Hawks wasn’t that impressive Julius Jones & Justin Forsett only averaged 3.8 yds per carry….(Edgerrin James should help that problem) the passing attack looks explosive & dangerous at times….13 different receivers had at least one catch…..John Carlson & T.J. lead the way with 5 catches and one td each….on defense the C-Hawks looked solid….but remember they were playing a 2-14 team from last season….up next for the Hawks, the dysfunctional Oakland Raiders come to town Thursday night.
3-0!!
The Mariners split a four game series this weekend with the Kansas City Royals, the M’s are currently (68-63) 8.5 games behind the Red Sox in the AL Wild card race….Ichiro is day to day with a strained calf muscle….he only needs 16 hits for another 200 hit season…….Russell Branyan was placed on the 15 day disabled list with a herniated disc in his back.
The Seattle Storm defeat the Atlanta Dream Saturday in double OT 91-84…..Tanisha Wright scored 25, and hot shooting Sue Bird scored 24….the Storm raise their record to (18-11) and 13-3 at home…..also Lauren Jackson is out indefinitely with a stress fracture in her back.
The Seattle Sounders log another tie!!??…..they end up with a nill-nill tie (0-0)….the Sounders are currently (8-6-10) with 34pts….. good for 3rd in the Western Conference.
Fit 2 b tied!!
……..In UFC 102 action Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria defeated Randy Couture in a unanimous decision, the judges had Antonio ahead on all 3 scorecards….fans are calling this an instant classic!!
The big story of the night is the return of Micheal Vick back to the playing field, he looked good as the Eagles beat Jacksonville 33-32 …..Vick went 4-4 for 19 yds in 6 plays for Philly…..the crowd cheered loudly for Mike as he strutted on the field…….Donovan McNabb had a huge game he went 21 for 36 for 244 yds. and 1 td……on defense the Eagles continued to blitz …..but were burned several times by the Jags on screen plays…..
The Seattle Storm (17-11) beat the Connecticut Sun last night 86-74….Sue Bird scored 21 as the Storm wrap up another playoff berth …their 6th playoff birth in a row….Swin Cash and Lauren Jackson scored 17 pts. each….now the past 4 seasons the Storm have been knocked out in the first round, I have a feeling that won’t be the case this season!!
The Mariners lose 8-4 last night to the Kansas City Royals, the M’s fall to (66-62) on the season….they still remain 7.5 games back of the Red Sox for the AL Wildcard.
The Mariners beat the Oakland A’s last night 5-3 to complete a 3 game sweep….Jose Lopez hit his 19th homer of the season in the first inning…..also for the M’s David Aardsma picked up his 30th save in 34 attempts….currently the M’s are (66-61) 7.5 games behind the Red Sox for the AL Wildcard…..up next for the M’s the Kansas City Royals come to town!!
The Seattle Mariners win in dramatic fashion last night they beat the Oakland A’s 4-2 in ten innings……..Ryan Langerhan hit a 2-2 pitch for a homerun in the bottom of the 10th…didn’t he do that earlier this season against the Tampa Bay Rays??…..also for the Mariners Russell Branyan hit his team leading 31st homerun of the season…..doesn’t he remind you slightly of Jay Buhner….with hair?
The seeding for the US Open has been set Venus & Serena Williams are seeded in opposite draws….Serena is the #2 seed, and Venus is #3…..Dinara Safina is the #1 seed, even though she is 0-3 in Grand Slam Finals……for the men no surprise that Roger Federer is the #1 seed , the US Open starts next Monday morning.
Veteran running back Edgerrin James was signed to a 1 year $2 million dollar deal, by the Seahawks……that means T.J. (not Tico) Duckett was released….James gives the Seahawks some veteran leadership in the backfield….Chris Spencer will be out for at least one month due to a torn muscle…Spencer will no doubt miss the first 2 games of the season.
