Questionable

We don't know when my wife and baby daughter will be discharged from the hospital on Sunday, so I don't know if I'll get to watch the Seahawks game. Feel free to follow my thoughts, about either the game OR missing my first game since 1983, on twitter.

Go Seahawks!

Welcome the newest Keebler Twelve!

Lily Rhiannon is here! She was born at 9:34 eastern time on October 14, 2009, and both Mom and baby are doing just swell.

Hopefully the timing works out so I can see the game on Sunday, but I'm not dumb enough to mention that to my wife at the moment. :-]

Here's a pic for y'all...

DKSB Home News: New Twelve Arriving on Thursday

We just found out that my wife will have a C-section this Thursday, which means an early (and hopefully healthy) arrival for our daughter Lily.

Stay tuned here for updates, etc. I'm hoping I'll still be able to catch the game Sunday, but that's uncertain at the moment. I'll be posting here as usual until the big event on Thursday morning...

Seahawks 41, Jaguars 0

I'm a Red Sox fan. Watching them crap away game 3 this afternoon hurt, but then the Seahawks dominated and it's like I got my mind wiped spotless at Lacuna or something. In a few short hours, we saw a season get completely turned around. Instead of trudging in a mopey stupor towards "wait til next year," now the Twelve Army is emboldened, knowing that they root for a legitimate playoff contender in the Seattle F**king Seahawks.

Sure it was just one game, but it was EXACTLY the kind of win a wounded but talented Seattle team needed. Despite still being shorthanded due to injuries, a formidable arsenal of offensive and defensive weapons was displayed today by the boys in blue. We have an elite, all-pro quality quarterback who now has a El Guapo-level plethora of dangerous receivers. We have a defense that can be absolutely suffocating (at least at Qwest Field), stocked with young talent that will keep this team competitive for years to come.

I want to talk a little more about Hasselbeck. The man is the soul of this team, and he proved that again today. Playing in pain, he made the right decisions under pressure and delivered a bushel of accurate passes. His performance was among the best of his Ring of Honor-bound Seattle career, and it's safe to say we'll see a lot more of these kind of exploits as long as we can keep #8 healthy.

So we dominated a talented but underachieving Jacksonville squad, and reminded the league they best not talk trash about Qwest Field and the Twelve Army that patrols its grounds... Next week is Arizona. They know what to expect from a trip to Qwest, but that doesn't mean they can handle what is coming their way.

By this time next week, we could be back in a tie for first atop the NFC West. Part of that would be a Texans win over the suddenly vulnerable Niners Duh, that game isn't until Oct. 25- The Niners have a bye this week.... but we can't control that. We can control what we do to the Cardinals, and I foresee a long painful afternoon for Kurt Warner and his minions.

What do you think, sirs?

Triumph, Agony, or some 3rd thing...

On Sunday both my favorite teams take the field trying to stave off elimination. For the Red Sox, this is literal: lose game 3 to the Angels? Season over. For the Seahawks, it's operationally if not technically true: lose at home to Jacksonville and fall to 1-4? Season is pretty much over.

Red Sox at 12 noon eastern, Seahawks at 4:15... If you want to watch the peaks and valleys of my mental state as they manifest themselves, follow my twitter feed...
