We take your best crazy sports predictions on SHOT! or NO SHOT! Matt "Stretch" Johnson, voice of the Sounders, recaps yesterday's game in Toronto.

James Paxton pitched a no-hitter last night; the first Canadian to do so on Canadian soil. If he can stay healthy, he has the potential to be one of the best pitchers in the game. Jon Wilner writes about the Huskies' difficult conference schedule, and notes that most playoff contenders in college football aren't treated so roughly.

Looking at the odds for the 2018 season, the Seahawks are only favored in three games, and none by more than three points. This is by far the lowest number since Russell Wilson joined the team. If you were given $5,000, would you place your money on the Hawks contending for a Super Bowl this season, or contending for the number one pick in next year's draft?

Lots of callers are saying the Hawks are more likely to get the number one pick in the draft than make a run at the Super Bowl? Yes, we've lost a few key pieces, but will the team really be that bad?

BREAKING NEWS: James Paxton pitches a no-hitter, just the second by a Canadian pitcher, and the first Canadian pitcher to do so in Canada.

Felix's numbers really aren't good; much worse than most have even realized. Did anyone see his decline coming so quickly? If he'd had the performance he had yesterday a couple of years ago, no one would have been talking about how he pitched relatively well. The son of a Husky Honk is going to play for Oregon? Yeah it's happening. Hugh Millen's son Cale is going to join the Ducks, and Hugh is on the show to talk about it. Russell Wilson's camp seems fairly certain he'll play at least a couple of seasons under the franchise tag. Should the team tag him, or sign him to a new contract as quickly as possible?

On SHOT! or NO SHOT!: Is there a chance Ichiro plays next year in Japan, and hits a home run. The M's start a big series tonight at home against the Angels. We update you on the team and speak with Mark Gubicza on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

The speculation is finally over. Ichiro is not playing for the rest of 2018. He will continue to play an active role for the team, but in a front office role, becoming Special Assistant to the Chairman. This is not an official retirement, and there's a chance we could see him again next year. Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger joins the show to talk about Ichiro, how he and the team bounce back after a tough loss, and how the vibe of the team has evolved this season. After last night's tough loss, there are two big questions that need to be debated. With the way Paxton was pitching, was he pulled out of the game too early? Should Diaz only be reserved for save situations?

Softy and Dick disagree on how Edwin Diaz should be used. Dick believes that because Diaz pitches much better in save situations, he should only be used in save situations. Softy believes he should be available when he's needed. Do you want Dave, or do you want Dick? Mike Holmgren discusses the Seahawks' 2018 draft picks, and Matt Ryan's new contract. How might Ryan's contract impact negotiations with Russell Wilson? Textimonials react to Ichiro's semi-retirement.

Seahawks GM John Schneider talks about the team's newsly-drafted players, and the future of Earl Thomas. The Cavs won tonight and LeBron, as usual, looked incredible. Michael Jordan may still be a better player, but there's no denying what LeBron has accomplished. At 34 he's showing no signs of slowing down. The Mariners try to get back on their feet after last night's loss, and we set the game up on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

Softy and Dick are live from Jimmy's on First as we're just hours away from Game 2 against the A's tonight. Earl Thomas' picture is no longer on CenturyLink, which means the team isn't promoting him. Did the Hawks admit they were shopping him or not? The M's win again last night and they're now on pace to win 98 games. Some are saying we should all calm down and lower expectations, but there's no fun in that.
