-Welcome to the NBA playoffs Blazers. There's a deer on I-5 that says it wants its look back.
-I miss Raul Ibanez. He might have been the consistent run producer the M's are increasingly lacking.
-Erik Bedard looks like he hates his $8 million job. Judging by his disposition on the mound, you'd think he'd rather be doing anything else, like mowing his lawn or getting a colostomy.
-I'm wondering if those "people in and around the league" who are telling Todd McShay that the Hawks will draft USC QB Mark Sanchez are actually dudes in his fantasy league.
-If top OTs Eugene Monroe and Jason Smith are off the board, I'd love to see Ruskell give us the nastiest receiving corps in the league by drafting superstar-in-the-making Michael Crabtree. The Texas Tech WR, as a redshirt sophomore, was physically dominant last year -- while playing with a stress fracture in his foot! With TJ, Crabby, Branch, Burleson and Carlson, and a healthy Hasselbeck, watch out.
-Love Chris Jakaubuskas' story. Damn it, I knew I wouldn't spell it right on the first try. Sorry Chris. All together now: it is J-a-k-u-b-a-u-s-k-as. The next John Lackey. He's the kind of tough, hungry player that will the help M's stay in contention -- for at least the next two months. Great story by Seattle guy Jim Caple.
-Hear that thud. It's the sound of Seattle fans falling back to earth following the Sounders shutout loss and the M's losing two straight games that made their offense look exactly like it does on paper.
-Couldn't stop laughing when reading about Griffey, wearing black robe, thick 24 medallion and swinging a gavel, holding kangaroo court in the M's clubhouse yesterday. Hilarious. Another reason the M's will win at least 78 games. (As you can see I'm wildly adjusting my expectations after getting entirely too excited on Wednesday night. Get used to it. This will happen at least once a week, especially if I've been drinking.)
-When do you pull the plug on Carlos Silva? On the plus side, I see a promising post-baseball future for Carlos -- as the fattest yoga instructor in the world.
