Seahawks, Sonics, Mariners
Seattle Sports Blog:
Seahawks: Is it August yet? Looks like Shaun Alexander has lost some much needed weight....the thinner he is, the quicker he is. Let's hope we can get one more 1,800 yard 20+ TD year out of him and we're headed to the Superbowl. Does Hasselbeck have enough left in the tank? Let's also hope for that as well.
Mariners: They still need some starting pitching, but the hitting has been coming around. Richie Sexson is even getting hits if you can believe it. Washburn has been very effective lately and has been a solid #2 starter. The rest? Time will tell. We need someone to step in in that rotation if we are going to be serious contenders
Sonics: All but gone given how fricking slow the Olympia lawmakers are.....Frank Chopp and the rest of the middle aged 40 year old white boy network down there needs to get re-shuffled. They are a joke. Too bad too.....Durrant could be the type of player to lead this whole organization to the promised land.

Mariners/Seahawks power ranking
Seattle Sports Blog: Mariners
Ok, so the way we see it here at Seattle Sports Blog, Seattle has done step one of two to make this team more competitive: DEMOTE Weaver. Great move, claps all around. Second move? Move Richie the dumb ass Sexson hitting .171 batting average out of the #4 slot in the line-up. He is killing us, absolutely killing us. Can we not move this 6-8 free swinging Small Forward to the #7 spot in the line-up? Please, pretty please? If he can't perform there, then move his ass down to AAA. We're .500, but could get better with this move.

Oh, gotta love those East Coast biased idiots over at ESPN. They currently have us ranked #11 in their power rankings. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2007&week=0 . Did we not pick up Deon Grant, dump drop happy Darrell Jackson, and improve the offensive line? Moreover, speaking of "More", Jim Mora was a great, great pick-up as well. Think we could ever get some respect around here? Guess we'll have to just go out and prove that we are indeed the #1 team in the NFC AGAIN.....

Marines at .500
Seattle Mariners Blog:
After winning a wild one Friday night vs. New York, they are starting to show their true colors again with back to back losses over the weekend. It would be nice if we felt as if we were truely challenging NYY, but I just don't think we're quite there yet. Good news is the rest of the division is sucking ass as well, so at .500, the Mariners are still right in the thick of things. Richie Sexson....can you hit above .150 this year? You're a JOKE and a bad excuse of a baseball player. You had a few good years, but you're days are numbered.

Mariners update and Seahawks 2007 draft
Seattle Mariners 2007 blog:
Beating up on some pathetic teams such as KC and Texas still isn't gaining much respect from us here at SSB, however, they are least playing .500 ball. Defensively, they have been a very sound team that has allowed them to win these 5-2 score type games. Starting pitching has improved, however, Weaver is now officially known as the Great $8M mistake of 2007! Our favorite Mariner? Good old Richie Sexton batting a whopping .152 today....can he break the mendoza line? Should he be the 12th best player in MLB? Think NOT........We continue to pray here at Seattle Sports Blog that both of the Richies will leave this organization once and for all....yeah, that's you Rick Rizz....you and your boring play calling need to head back to the minors.
Seattle Seahawks 2007 Blog:
Can't say anything really happened on draft day for us with the picks we made, but the biggest news to come out of Seattle was the trade of D-Jax. We really liked D-Jax here at Seattle Sports Blog and wish him the best. He was Hasselbeck's #1 target for the last 4-5 years, so what does that say? I guess this means that it's time for D.J. Hackett to step up and be that go to #2 WR with Deon being #1. Let's be honest, though, someone else is going to have to step up now. Is it Burleson? I don't think Bobby Engram's got enough left in the tank to have another solid season, honestly. So, expect heavy doses of Shaun Alexander next year and let's hope he's slimming down vs. bulking up. We all know the older you get, the more weight you put on, the slower you become. Stay slim Shaun, stay slim. Time will tell if the Jackson decision will come back to haunt us, but I still have 100% faith in Mr. Ruskell....Tapp and Peterson alone last year proved he's a damn good GM.
