As the innings stretched on, yesterday's game started to feel like a postseason game. It had some classic postseason moments--the big game by the unknown (Miguel Cairo, who started a crucial double play from first and drove in the winning run) the closer who stretched out to keep his team in the ... »
Durant Endures Disses, Photoshopping

Must be weird being Kevin Durant.
Take Tuesday. Durant was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, as was teammate Jeff Green. No news there.
But Durant was not an unanimous selection. Only Atlanta strongman Al Horford received 29 first-team votes from the ... »

Lofa Tatupu's arrest for drunk driving came as a shock to fans and reporters who saw him as one of the good guys. Tatupu apologized late yesterday, saying "this will never happen again." (Though Kissing Suzy Kolber says he really should be apologizing for owning a Hyundai) Tacoma News ... »

I have to say, that while last night's M's win was nice, it left me wanting more. It was like a great meal with a terrible dessert. The M’s go up 7-0 in the fourth, the Rangers bring in Ryan Rupe, mop-up reliever. Now, if you are a mop-up reliever for the ... »

After a three-game sweep in New York, the M’s have the AL’s worst record. Who’s to blame? It's the troops, say media folks.
Geoff Baker suggests that these Mariner players may be part of a "culture of losing."
