ichiro...


Ichiro Suzuki is batting over .300 for first time since April 9th. He actually broke .300 yesterday and he's currently @ .305. Ichiro is well on his way to another .300 plus season with over 100 runs scored and his usual 200 plus hits. He's on pace for a career low in RBI, but he's on pace for a career high in stolen bases. Just a few weeks ago, Ichiro was criticized by a sportswriter who wrote he's a selfish player only concerned about padding his stats. The idiot wrote that Ichiro wouldn't steal more bases because he didn't want to jeopardize his high percentage rate. That makes no sense since @ 34 Ichiro is well on his way to a career high in steals as I mention earlier in this post. It seems ironic ever since Ichiro moved back to right field, his stats have gone up. Ichiro moved to center two seasons ago to help the Mariners. His natural position is obviously right field.

I do have some issues with Ichiro, because I know he can hit 20 plus homeruns in a season if he wanted to. This would help the hapless Mariners. Ichiro would be a more effective hitter in the 3 spot.

I will never forget that idiot Rob Dibble stating that Ichiro would never hit .300 in the league. Eight seasons later, a .331 career batting average with nearly 1700 hits- Dibble is still an idiot...

comicle @ 75 cents...

What a fucking joke! Who in the hell is going to pay 75 cents for a piece of shit newspaper like the Chronicle. It used to be a decent paper back in the day. It has the worst sportswriters on any major rag in the country- hacks like Janny Hu and Gwen Knapp.

A couple of weeks ago I paid $16 for an eight week subscription for the fri, sat, and sun Comicle. I got a free A's cap by signing up. In retrospect, I got a very good deal.

I wonder how much the Comicle will be @ BART stations? It was a quarter...

samantha brown...

Watching her new show on the Travel Channel Passport to Great Weekends. She was in the City one weekend and Harry Denton was prominently featured. Samantha isn't a raving beauty, but I really enjoy her shows on the Travel Channel and I find her very attractive...

watermelon...


Forget viagra, eat watermelon... Citrulline in watermelon triggers production of a compound that helps relax blood vessels in the body, which is similar to what viagra does. Today, if my I'm not suffering too much from my toothache, I may go down to the Mission and look for one of those watermelon drinks...

seattle supersonics relocate to oklahoma city...


I've had toothache, therefore I haven't been able to really digest how devastating it is to hear the sad news.

I was born and raised in Seattle. I've been an avid sports fan since I was ten years old. That's when the Supersonics came into town. I grew up with the Sonics. Now, a part of my youth is gone.

There are many people to blame for this mess, but my main focus is on Howard Schultz the Chairman and CEO of Starbucks. He's the one who sold the team to a group from Oklahoma City who had no intention of keeping the team in Seattle. I'm not a Starbucks fan, never had been. Rest assured, I will never spend another dime @ any of their stores around the world.

I'm in pain and it's not just my tooth...

'In the Heights' Musical Montage

I recommend this show to anyone who visits Manhattan and wants to see a Broadway musical...

baron davis opts out on the final year of his contract...


He's walking away from a guaranteed $16.8 million. Davis is now an unrestricted free agent. Baron has played his last game with the Warriors. It was a good run, but it will be forever tainted by his benching by Nelson in the last game of the regular season.

I have never liked Don Nelson as a coach and his legacy will be that he can't win the big one. His stubbornness caused Golden State a playoff spot.

If Davis signs with the Clippers, it will only get him back in LA. Dunleavy is another mediocre coach. How can he fall in love with Beno Udrih?

I think the Lakers would be the best fit for Baron. I don't believe the Lakers have the cap room. However, a sign and trade with the Warriors involving Lamar Odom might be a possibility...

Well, Baron signed with the Clippers. C'est la vie...
