Will the firing of General Manager Bill Bavasi change anything for the Mariners?  Probably not right now.  We’ll see what the long term affects are.  Lee Pelekoudas is a solid baseball guy who will get a chance to turn things around.  If that chance is only for the remainder of the season don’t expect much to change.  He will have a chance to change the look of this team if ownership says he can hold a firesale and trade for youngsters in July.  We’ll see.  I like that Johjima has been taking grounders at first, with Clement set to catch.  Next move by the M’s should be to designate Richie Sexson for re-assignment and see if anyone wants to take a gamble on him.

Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight on 700 ESPN The Ticket.  With all the titles the Patriots and Red Sox have won lately, the Celtics have a chance to win a World Championship at home, something the Patriots will never do with the Super Bowl in a warm weather city and with the Sox having won their titles on the road.
