Right Church, Wrong Pew!

Those of you feeling an air of optimism surrounding the Seahawks, and generally enjoying the local coverage of the positive moves the team has been making, may not have noticed that, not coincidentally, Les Carpenter is no longer writing for the Seattle Times.

While metaphorically still in Washington, he is now on the other coast, as a baseball writer for the Washington Post. Ironically, when visiting their site to verify this, the first story I found of his has a Seattle "by line" and is about Ichiro!

Perhaps he'll be able to find the silver lining in this exapansion MLB team, that he could never find in our beloved Seahawks.

  1. Screw him, hope he has the shortest writing gig in Washington history! I hate that guy!

  2. NOOOO!

    That would be bad. When you lose your new job in a hurry what's the first thing you do??

    A. Beg your former employer to take you back!

    Let's hope he has a VERY long and painful career writing about the perennial cellar-dwelling Washington Nationals, sharpening his signature brand of pessimism and second guessing.

    Hell, in Washington DC they're so used to that type of non-productive attitude that he'll fit right in!
