Sorry, quick links again today. Gonna be a fun show making fun of Brett Favre. Did you hear the stuff about his daughter? What a joke! He even ticked off Brock! “Kissing Suzy Kolber blog” has a really angry rant about Favre (tons of foul language there so be careful).

Also, we talk to Jarrod Washburn at 12:25. His take on Favre should be good too (he is a HUGE football fan from Wisconsin). Time to look at the July 31st trade again…

Felix Hernandez pitched great again but bad defense in the 8th inning led to a Detroit Tiger win.

John Morosi says the Mariners made the right decision holding on to Hernandez.

Jeff Sullivan loves King Felix and recaps Jose Lopez’s last at-bat from a Tiger point of view.

It looks like Dustin Ackley will be an outfielder for the Mariners, GM Jack Zduriencik isn’t worried about a possible pileup of talent.

Jim Street writes that Ian Snell will feature a new delivery against the Tigers.

Jarrod Washburn will face the Mariners on Thursday and despite the hitters knowing all his pitches, Washburn is going to change anything.

Peter Gammons says the Mariners got exactly what they wanted in Dustin Ackley.

John Carlson would never talk himself up but the second year tight end might be ready to breakthrough.

The versatile Steve Vallos is critical for the Seahawks, especially with injury problems along the offensive line.

Matt Pittman was at the Seahawk night practice and saw Aaron Curry sidelined with what might be a strained groin and named Jordan Kent player of the day.

Sean Locklear and Deon Butler didn’t impress John Morgan very much in the Hawks’ first preseason game.

The Huskies had their first full scrimmage yesterday, the running game looked surprisingly good.

Although the running game looked good it didn’t provide many answers says Scott Johnson.

Husky running back Chris Polk almost quit the team after an injury and a team that felt like strangers but is happy that he stayed around.

Johri Fogerson is thriving in practice after being moved back to running back.

Notes:
-Mariners play early again at 4:05

-Ian Snell is 2-9 with a 5.84 ERA; he’ll start for the Mariners.

-Justin Verlander (13-6, 3.28 ERA) is a legitimate Cy Young candidate; leading the AL in strikeouts.
