Slog - Comments on Tuesday Morning Sports Report http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/tuesday_morning_sports_report Yes, Bobby Crosby was as responsible for our team’s win yesterday as the Mariners offense, but it was King Felix who ruled the day. And even ESPN managed to looked westward and notice it: Seattle's Felix Hernandez vs. Oakland (8 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 12 K) Joins elite list of pitchers to whiff a dozen batters on Opening Day since 1975: Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, J.R. Richard, Randy Johnson (twice), and Pedro Martinez. In the P.I., Art Thiel reports: Already halfway to their 2006 win total against the Oakland A's, the Mariners' weapons-grade giddiness in the Opening Day clubhouse...

Why doesn't NASCAR look on the East of the Cascades? Spokane seems more likely to have NASCAR fans and the city may be more inclined to foot the bill if they think people would actually travel East of the Cascades to watch people drive in a circle.

Stick it in Garfield County. It might save them from going bankrupt.

Right now there are 2 locals doing really well in NASCAR, Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne, and they're both west siders, i believe. Please don't make fun of me for knowing that.

But it seems like that side of the state would benefit from the tourism.

And Max is just Shoshana with a strap on.

hey, how about that kid Travis Buck? I guess it's cool he's from Richland. That Sexony shot he hit off the center field wall was pretty impressive from the big lassie - his first hit in the majors.

I didn't realize that Felix only faced the A's once last year, while Piniero had six starts against them.

Which is rather sad, really, since they end up employing all the big words in their vocabularies only to tacitly reveal the envy they feel at those richer, more attractive, and happier than themselves.
