It is time for another warm welcome to Thanksgiving. I hope you are able to throw the football around well as watch some football while spending time with family.
Don't forget the Apple Cup takes place on Friday starting at 1pm.
The Seattle Seahawks are on Monday night football at home against the Minnesota Vikings. With five remaining games on the schedule, each one will feel like a playoff as the Seahawks look to make the plays. The Seahawks currently have a 9-2 record. They should end up at least with eleven wins unless they totally fall on their face. They could end up with at least 12 wins as well. Go Hawks!
The Gonzaga Bulldogs won easily again on Wednesday night 94-69 over Southern Mississippi.
Thanksgiving they take on the Oregon Ducks. It will be their toughest opponent so far. The Ducks are favored to win the Pac-12 conference.
Corey Kispert led the Bulldogs with 28 points. The Bulldogs won big despite having several players injured. Anton Watson had to leave the game in the first minute because of injury; his replacement Joel Ayayi was second in scoring with 21 points while grabbing a team-high 12 rebounds.
The Seattle Mariners signed reliever Carl Edwards Jr to a free-agent contract. Last year he had a poor year with the Chicago Cubs before being traded to the San Diego Padres. He had a good career for three years prior to last season. The Mariners are hoping Edwards will be able to get back to where he was at in 2018. Not a big gamble at all. If he is able to get back to his old self he will have a good place in the Mariner bullpen if not it doesn't cost the Mariners that much in baseball money.
We will see what Jerry Dipoto has up his sleeve after acquiring three pitchers this week. The Mariners also signed an infielder Patrick Wisdom. He has been a minor league player but the Mariners signed him to a major league contract. He likely will start the season at triple-A Tacoma; however, he gives the Mariners insurance in case Kyle Seager gets hurt. You have to figure Dylan Moore and Tim Lopes are ahead of him in the role of utility players well as Austin Nola who could start at first base if Evan White doesn't start or be the Mariners backup catcher as well.
This is it I think so anyway. I don't think I have forgotten anything. Again Happy Thanksgiving!
