Northwest 2012 NBA Draft Watch: Washington’s Terrence Ross
Where does he end up?

Ichiro back batting in the lead off spot for the Mariners
The 2012 Seattle Mariners starting lineup for Friday's series opener at the Chicago White Sox features one BIG change.
Ichiro Suzuki is back in leadoff spot.

*My* Top Canucks and Vancouver fanbase pet peeves
The Jeeves of Peeves
There is absolutely no doubt with regards to how much I and many fans like myself adore the Vancouver Canucks but you know what they say:

Seattle Seahawks position battles: *My* pick for quarterback
Four in camp…who wins?
The Seattle Seahawks went all out in hopes for a legitimate starting quarterback this off-season. Picking up the talented Matt Flynn in free agency, and drafting hopeful stud Russell Wilson in the 3rd round of this years draft.
