Very, very interesting...

There are denials from all over the map over the potential sale of the Seattle Mariners to a group led by Phillies' general manager Pat Gillick. The notion was first published in The Boston Globe last Sunday with fast following laughable denials from the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

"Do I look that foolish?" Gillick asked the Inky when asked about his reported plans to buy the Mariners.

Denials or not, it's still very, very interesting and I don't suppose we've heard the last of this story.
