Astros, Mariners Owners Meet in Seattle


Seattle Mariners owner Jack Buchanan hosted Houston Astros owner Rich Polin at Qwest Field yesterday for the Seattle Seahawks playoff game against the Washington Redskins. The pair, both lifelong Redskins fans, despite their hatred of anything Washington in the Molson Baseball League, enjoyed tailgating together and were able to squeeze in some league business between plays.

"The Redskins went about as far as they could," Polin said between sips of Harp after the game, "and Qwest Field is a great place to see a game."

Polin refused to answer questions about why he was wearing a Washington Nationals hat.

Neither owner said he expects to be favored in the Capital Division next season despite having appeared in the Stan Musial League Division Championship Series last season. Instead, the Florida Marlins are the early favorites heading into 2006.
