Pink uniforms are on order: The Seattle Mariners ended an eight-game skid with an 8-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. The game followed the firing of the M’s hitting coach and also came as the M’s promoted Mother’s Day and breast cancer awareness by swinging pink bats.
Not that we’re superstitious, but we suggest that the Mariners keep the pink bats and fire their hitting coach before every game.
Speaking of acts of desperation: Oil giant BP’s latest plan to stanch the flow of crude oil pouring from a damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico is to cram a bunch of shredded tires and golf balls into the well to clog it up, this after lowering a large box over the well failed to stop the leak.
If that doesn’t work, BP might want to change its advertising slogan from “Beyond Petroleum” to “Better Pray.”
Release the hounds: After a house fire forced out a Bothell couple and nearly a dozen basset hounds kept by a dog rescue organization, the group is accepting donations of cash and supplies and plans a fundraising concert to keep its work going.
Please give; or we will send a basset hound to your house to stare at you with its big, sad, brown eyes.
