Think I've been exaggerating when I've bemoaned the fates of my favorite sports teams? Well, check out this article from ESPN.com's Jim Caple on the past 12 months in Seattle sports. Then resist the urge to throw yourself in front of an oncoming bus.
Among the lowlights:
*NBA commissioner David Stern carved a rusty hole where his heart used to be by letting Clay Bennett move the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City.
*Mariners GM Bill Bavasi mortgaged the future of the team in exchange for 6 months of poking M's fans in the eyes with tobasco-dipped toothpicks.
* The Washington Huskies lost every game. Every game. Do you know how hard that is to do? They even got to play Wazzu! Seriously, right now, you could blindfold yourself, spin around fifty times, and then walk into the very pits of fiery Hell and come away with at least one college football win.
*The Seahwaks, Seattle's prennial winners of late, are sending their hero-coach, walrus Holmgren, out with a 4-win season. The sunset he thought he was riding off into turned out to be a painted brick wall.
*Bonus Feature: the 'Grey's Anatomy' spoof video in the sidebar.

Not actually commenting on the article, but on what you're reading...Ender's Game is my ex's favorite book and, I must say, surprisingly engrossing. I'm a total girl, but I loved it. Nice choice!
i feel your pain. but there is cause to be hopeful, the m's now do have a more than competent gm. i really like that putz trade, by the way.
ender's game is one of my favorites. the sequel, speaker for the dead, was surprisingly good too.
oh and i wanna hear some more zany hawaii stories!
I giggled about the losing every game paragraph.
