The New York Yankees needed pitching help. What do they do? In a trade with the Seattle
Mariners, the Yankees stole one of the best, young pitching prospects in all of baseball. Michael
Pineda, who showed dynamite stuff as a rookie last season, heads to New York, while Jesus Montero
was sent to Seattle.

The Boston Red Sox have been searching high and low for a starting pitcher to add to their
rotation. They almost traded for Rich Harden, however that deal fell apart at the last second. On
Sunday, the Red Sox made their moving by trading for Erik Bedard of the Seattle Mariners in a
three-team deal.

Once upon the time, the Seattle Mariners were 43-43 and the playoffs weren't totally out of the
question. However, since then, the Mariners have now lost 15 straight games. Their latest loss came
Sunday afternoon against the Boston Red Sox.
The game started off well enough for the Mariners.

A long, long time ago we tried to start a soccer website; thought we were writers or
something....
It was called "Snorting the Endline" named after Robbie Fowler's infamous goal celebration and one
of our favorites of all-time. That site failed miserably. I mean who would want to read our
ramblings!
This weekend was not a particularly joyful time for me. I suppose that will happen when you
almost simultaneously watch your home team lose 4 - 0 and then a few minutes later watch as your
national team loses 4 - 2 in the final of a very important tournament. The proverbial cherry on top
was when the New England Revolution failed to do anything but suck against the Seattle Sounders
gracing our northern neighbors with 3 additional points.
It was a great weekend for Seattle sports. The sun made a welcome appearance and plenty of
people were out in the parks playing pick-up games. The Seattle Sounders absolutely dominated
Toronto FC in front of a packed house and the crowd was as loud as I've ever heard them at a
regular season game.
A number of Major League Baseball pitchers are off to hot starts in 2011. If April is any
indication, the 2011 Cy Young Award races in the American League and National League will be
fierce. The cool thing about this list below is it features both old, wily pitchers and
up-and-coming flamethrowers who could revolutionize the game of baseball.
Seeing the Seattle Mariners' struggles recently, the Seattle Sounders decided to change it up
today, dropping this whole soccer thing and picking up bats and gloves. It turns out, many of those
lovable faces we see on the pitch can actually play a little softball, including members of the
walking wounded.
Another game. Another Nelson Cruz home run. The Texas Rangers have won their first four
ballgames of the season and Cruz has a homer in each of the contests. His first three homers came
against the Boston Red Sox. His fourth was on Monday night versus the Seattle Mariners.
On the season, Cruz is hitting .

Last year, the Seattle Mariners inked Chone Figgins to a big contract. In his first season with
the Mariners, Figgins was mostly a disappointment. Recently, there has been talks about Figgins
being traded from the Mariners with the Oakland A's being the main destination mentioned. Could
there be some truth to the Chone Figgins trade rumors?

Rivera. Soriano's deal is reportedly worth approximately $35 million over three seasons.
Last year with the Tampa Bay Rays, Soriano was 3-2 with 45 saves and only three blown saves.
