The Seahawks hope WR Terrell Owens adds a physical presence to the team’s wide receiving corps. But is he worth the gamble? Vote here.
Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson of the Seattle Storm remained on track Wednesday to medal again in the Olympic Games when Bird’s USA squad romped past Canada 91-48 and Jackson’s Australian team defeated China 76-60 in the quarterfinals of the women’s tournament. One of the two will be out of the running for gold Thursday.
After the Mariners finish their three-game series at Camden Yards, they will take Thursday off and then begin a three-game series against the Angels in Anaheim.
The Seahawks apparently liked what they saw Monday from Terrell Owens. And as long as they don’t look farther back — or don’t care — it’s on. The club announced the signing of Owens to a one-year deal early Monday evening, apparently for the NFL veteran minimum for his experience — $925,000.
Some old habits are returning: Ex-Mariners are haunting current Mariners, and starting Mariners pitchers can’t afford a single mistake. Jason Vargas paid dearly for one bad pitch — surrendering a three-run home run to Nick Markakis — that proved the difference in the Orioles’ 3-1 win in the first of a three-game series in Baltimore
Alex Morgan, a member of the Seattle Sounders Women, headed in the winning goal in the 122nd minute, giving the USA women’s soccer team a dramatic 4-3 victory over Canada and a berth in Thursday’s gold-medal match against defending World Cup champion Japan. Morgan’s goal also preserved former University of Washington goalkeeper Hope Solo’s chance
Major League Soccer announced Monday that Seattle’s Eddie Johnson has been voted the league’s Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR). Johnson scored the opening goal in a 4-0 victory over the LA Galaxy Sunday night at CenturyLink Field, his fourth game-winning goal this season.
Another one that got away, pitcher Chris Tillman, will face the Mariners as they begin a three-game series in Baltimore.
Nathan Adrian became the state’s most decorated Summer Olympian last week by winning a pair of gold medals, in the 100-meter freestyle and 4×100 medley relay.
