Huskies Can Get Revenge for Sonics Fans
10:36 AM on Jul 3 2008 by
The Huskies already have two revenge games on their 2008 home schedule--Notre Dame on Oct. 25, when Willingham can revenge his unfair firing, and UCLA on Nov. 15, when Husky nation can return some pain to Rick Neuheisel.
But, first, on Sept. 13, the whole region gets a chance for revenge when the Dawgs host Oklahoma.

Percy Allen has the confused and sometimes angry reactions of Sonics players. Jim Moore has reactions from Sonics fans. The Times has an awesome historical photo gallery and the full text of the settlement [pdf].
Here are thoughts from the rest of the earth:

Three cheers for ex-Husky Tim Lincecum, who's on the cover of SI this week. Here's the terrific lead of the story from the mag's top baseball writer, Tom Verducci:
As if peering around a corner, the Freak tilts his head slightly to the left as he begins his explosive, homemade pitching delivery. What lurks around ... MORE »

As you know, I'm sure, Marsha Pechman's decision in the Seattle v. Bennett case comes down today. I did an email interview about it with a blogger in BC. SonicsCentral isn't planning a rally, but say they will be at City Hall if anyone wants to join them.

Your Chance to Establish Sounders Cred
12:52 PM on Jul 1 2008 by
You know how people are always like, "oh, I saw Nirvana play at the OK Hotel with Andy Wood, blah blah." That's annoying, but also, you get a little jealous, because they have grunge cred and you don't.
Today, the Sounders have 16,000 folks on the hook for season tickets. I suspect they'll draw at least 30,000 to their opening game next year. If the team's deep-pocketed ownership group comes through ... MORE »

Felix Hernandez goes on the 15-day DL--it's retroactive to that Mets game, so he could come off July 9. Cesar Jimenez, who pitched in four games for the M's in '06, takes Hernandez' spot on the roster. Jimenez has a 47/8 K/BB ratio and a 3.55 ERA in 29 games--all in relief--with the Rainiers ...

The Mariners had 39 hits--18 on Sunday in a game Jake Peavy started--in a three game sweep of the Padres. Jose Vidro started at first in the last two games, increasing speculation that Suddenly Singles Sexson (1 XBH in June) will be released. Bedard and Morrow both pitched well in the series.
The Mariners won't have a traditional starter on Tuesday, Riggsie will mix and match relievers instead, writes David Andriesen.

First, the litigation news. The Seattle v. Bennett trial is over. Judge Marsha Pechman says she'll post her decision on the Internet at 4pm Wednesday.
DRAFT! Crazy! I live-blogged the first 33 picks, but there were so many trades I find myself pining for a simple explanation of what happened. So here it is (thanks for the idea and the PDX info, BlazersEdge):
