decisions, decisions...

We do not always agree with decisions that are made. I’m sure sports doesn’t always agree with my picture selections and I don’t always agree with their story selections.

This is one of those days.

The Sonics, (yes I’m leaving out the super part), were going for a record 14 losses in a row. Tonight’s game was going to decide that, and our sports photographer was there, ready to photograph the action.

Well, some of our sports reporters caught wind of a potential trade the Mariners had going for Erik Bedard, a Baltimore pitcher. The trade victim? An up and coming Mariner prospect named Adam Jones, who so far had spent the majority of his time in the minors.

Is this a big deal? Sure, no question. Trading for a good pitcher, especially a much needed one in the Mariners rotation, is a key pickup.

However, looking at this page---and not knowing for sure if it was a done deal----I think you centerpiece the Sonics, with live staff pictures. And strip the newsy story on top of the centerpiece package. The baseball centerpiece is an old file picture. To me, this doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Ironically, 9 days later, the trade still isn’t official.
