Morning Sports Shot: Sounders, Mariners Win

Sounders 3, Boca Juniors 0 [box]
Turns out the Sounders do have players who can score--they've just been sitting on the bench. Reserves Roger Levesque, Pat Noonan, and Charlie Michael Seamon provided the offense in a surprising romp over Argentina's top team. It was nice to finally see some offense at Qwest, exhibition or no, and the place was a madhouse once the Sounders finally started scoring. Seamon's goal proved a fount of innuendo-based comedy, which in retrospect was probably only funny because I'd drank a quart of Bud Light. Highlights (of the game, not the "comedy") below. Next game Saturday @ Colorado.

Mariners 5, Detroit 4 [box]
Maybe the best win of the year for the M's, who scored four eighth-inning runs to steal this one from the Tigers. Mike Sweeney started the comeback with a two-run homer (his 6th, all in May) and Josh Wilson finished it with a two-run bloop single. M's 18-28, 4th place, 7.5 GB. Next game Fri. @ Anaheim.

U.S. World Cup team announced, Ching not on it [P-I story]
In a controversial move, US coach Bob Bradley left former USL Sounders striker Brian Ching off the 23-man World Cup roster. Ching was the team's most experienced forward, with 11 international goals. The choice represents a new day for U.S. soccer, as they'll play in South Africa without a big target up front.
