Take a Relaxing Stroll in Austin

One great way to spend time with that special someone is to just find a nice place to take a walk. You can enjoy a relaxed pace while seeing the sites and getting to know each other better. Stroll up the Barton Creek trail. It’s a popular place for bikers and hikers, but a long walk is just as good and you can even take a swim at Twin Falls if you want. If you don’t feel like wandering out too far, try a walk around the Capitol Grounds or the University of Texas campus.

M's a Mortal Lock to "Combo" the Seahawks Parade

(The M's have already lost 9 more games than they did in 2001. You think Jeff Sullivan would explain his jokes for you?  I think NOT.)

Bring a gold tooth and a sock fulla nickels, if you're going to wander into the AL West.  The "Simple Rating System" at baseball-reference.com has these 3 teams as the best out of 30 teams both NL and AL:

  • 1 = Oakland
  • 2 = Angels
  • 3 = Mariners

Would like to know when we saw the 3 best teams in the NFL, NBA or MLB all in one division.  

Yes, Egbert, we know that the M's haven't exactly established themselves as the #3 team in all of baseball.   ... however, those are also the 3 top MLB teams per the Pythagorean Theorem.  Maybe the Nationals are a scant tick ahead of the M's, day-to-day, but most teams are WAY back of the leaders.

M's 5 …

The M's were down, 0-1, in the bottom of the 3rd.  LoMo had singled sharply, and with Austin Jackson at the plate, LoMo took off - pretty much a straight steal.  (His speed index is about ML average - which is good for a 1B.)

Jackson singled right at Colby Rasmus in CF.  Rasmus, hurrying, had the ball bounce off him, about 6-8 yards away.  He looked up, didn't see it, looked right, saw it, scrambled over to the ball in short CF.  He picked it up and fired it back in.

Incredibly, LoMo was already roaring around 3B and forced a bad throw to home plate.  M's were even on the scoreboard, but were ahead two touchdowns psychologically.  Like in a 7-7 football game at CLink, and you've got a QB sack followed by a false start.
