Jeff Samardzija has swagger. His Unitesque mullet, long sharp teeth, and large snout coupled with a vicious disposition have earned Samardzija the nickname “Shark”. ESPN quoted Shark as stating that he could get some guys out without throwing a pitch. He just sharks em’ and he knows they are going to get out before they do.

Want to star or water gaze with your sweetheart? Do both at the Spy Pond. Located in Arlington, it's the best place to stare longingly at either--or each other.

Some of the best M's authors gave two of their favorite SSSIIIIIGGgggggggh's, they wiped their brows, and they kissed the Cruz-less ground of Safeco Field. Disaster averted, mate. Nobody handcuffed and put in prison, Seattle baseball lives to fight another day.
The blog-o-sphere has acknowledged, without much alacrity, that 1 year $8M wouldn't exactly have been as bad as being busted for driving while intoxicated. Still, much joy in Mudville: we ducked Nelson Cruz' .497 slugging percentage by the skin of our teeth.

Yes, you'd rather have 35 walks than 15 hits and 20 outs. But that is the TOTAL DIFFERENCE between a Seattle Mariner Hall of Famer, and a man who was going to personally bring down baseball in Seattle.
Though this chain of pizza bars has locations everywhere, it doesn’t mean that Mellow Mushroom is any less for its success. The
