If I Were Commissioner of Major League Baseball...

Bud Selig takes a lot of flack. I can't recall a commissioner of a pro sports league getting this much criticism no matter what he seems to do, but the critics, myself among them, are not without merit...

Ichiro: What Do the Seattle Mariners Do with Him?

I don't know what it is about Ichiro, but he seems to be able to do no wrong here in Seattle. Not to say he's been doing wrong, but there is definitely an issue with Ichiro continuing as the face of such a hapless franchise...

Mariners: The Hot Stove Beckons

Entering the 2008 Major League Baseball season, the Seattle Mariners were a trendy pick by many experts (myself including, though by no means am I an expert) to take the AL West crown from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim...

Celebrations: Youthful Exuberance or Bad Sportsmanship?

This is a question that has plagued the sporting world ever since Magic Johnson leaped onto the back of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the end of his first victory as a pro: Are athletes too exuberant ...

Open Mic: Lakers Have a Pulse

I'll say this about this year's NBA Finals, it has been entertaining. Even the games that were supposed blowouts ended up being exciting in the end. I haven't seen this much close basketball in the NBA Finals in years...

Seattle Mariners: The Head-Rolling Begins

About time. Those were the words that ran through my head as I read the article in USA Today about the Mariners firing their GM of the last five years, Bill Bavasi...

Mariners: Everything Must Go

It's time to blow it up people. Obviously what the Mariners have built is a sham. Their supposed championship caliber team is a lie. I'll admit, not everyone is tanking...

NBA Finals Preview: Lakers Vs. Celtics

NBA Draft Lottery: What is the Effect in the Future and Now?

Of all the drafts of all the pro leagues, the NBA draft is the biggest mystery to me. It's exceedingly short (only two rounds) and the method of selecting the top 14 picks is a little redundant...
