Never having met a metaphor he could not twist beyond recognition, Art has been illuminating, agitating, amusing and annoying Puget Sound sports readers for a long time. Along with Steve Rudman, he co-founded Sports Press Northwest because it didnt seem right that the Google monster should aggregate daily journalism into oblivion without at least a flesh wound from somebody. Thiel and Rudman labored under the Seattle Post-Intelligencer globe until the print edition died an undeserved death in March, 2009. Art continued on at its online successor seattlepi.com while working on SPNWs creation. His radio commentaries can be heard Friday and Saturday mornings and Friday afternoon on KPLU-FM 88.9. In 2003 he wrote the definitive book about the Seattle Mariners, Out of Left Field, which became a regional bestseller. In 2009, along with Rudman and KJR 950 afternoon host Mike Gastineau, Thiel authored The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists, a cross between historylink.org and Mad Magazine that has become mandatory reading for any sports fan who has an indoor bathroom. A graduate of Pacific Lutheran University as well as two dead papers and a live one, the News Tribune of Tacoma, he has become a fan of entrepreneurial online journalism because it allows him to continue a lifelong passion to take the English language to places it rarely visits willingly, and does not involve the cleaning of kennels or stables.
FOX so wants to own a station in Seattle market that bought one in Bellingham as leverage against KCPQ’s owners. Losers could be some South Sound Seahawks fans.

In an essay for a new athlete website founded by Derek Jeter, Russell Wilson describes himself in elementary and middle school as a bully, and writes about domestic violence.
Instead of being elusive and vague, the Mariners said the payroll will go up next season. Dunno how much, but at least they have avoid the club tradition of dithering.
RENTON — If Zach Miller were a baseball player, he’d probably have a lame nickname like Zachie or Milly. If he played in New England, he’d be called Gronk Lite. But as the most versatile tight end in Seahawks history, he has a nickname borrowed from the NBA.
The Mariners swept the Angels, including 4-1 Sunday, but were one win short of moving on. The season was a big uptick, but questions remain about sustainability.
