    FYI, Marijuana "Didn't Do a Damn Thing" for Lou Piniella

    Next time get the good shit, LouChicago Cub catcher Geovany Soto has been banned from international baseball for two years for testing positive for marijuana during the World Baseball Classic.

    How 'Bout Those Mariners?

    Spring training is about 2/3 finished, and the World Baseball Classic just ended, so now seems a good time to check in on our favorite cellar diamond-dwellers.

    After M's GM Jack Zduriencik took the fun out of the World Baseball Classic by announcing that he will not allow Ichiro to pitch (who can blame him, really?) Sports Northwest's Seth Kolloen dug up this YouTube clip of Ichiro pitching at the 1996 Japanese All-Star Game:

    We can't imagine new Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik is happy to hear that Ichiro is working out as a pitcher in preparation for the World Baseball Classic, especially after what a stint on the mound did to another outfielder. (Of course, that guy was more juiced than Hans and Franz.) Still, we can't ... More >>
