In todays Oregonian, John Canzano wrote an article about why the Blazers should trade down their pick. He claims that the last thing we need is more youth, and that it would be ignorant to draft someone with the (Blazers) top pick . I think he is wrong. Realistically, the Blazers will land the 13th or 14th pick. Im pretty sure that no team is going to trade away a well conditioned, impact veteran. It just doesnt happen in my mind. Kevin Pritchard will pick the best player available, and wheel and deal around to optimize the Blazers roster for the 08-09 season. Also, to all you Blazer fans out there... lets pray we can land that #1 pick again somehow!!!

Maybe its just me but I thought it was pretty hilarious how Richie Sexson charged the mound last night. The pitch wasnt even close to his head, but he reacted to as if it hit him square in the nose. The pitcher didnt even do anything wrong. I think "Big Richie" just wanted some attention, and he deserves the suspension that he got. Its not like his absence will make a big difference to the ever struggling M's. It actually might be helpful, so that someone else will get the chance to shine. Ttyl folks...

Recently, the Seattle Mariners have been playing HORRIBLE. I am worried that they wont turn it around and may fall even farther back in the AL West. Realisticly, The A's are not that good. The M's (at their best) are much better. But right now, their bats are freezing cold. No one has stepped up and performed well enough to lift the team, and as of now Erik Bedard is a bust. Carlos Silva was a better pick up then him! I just hope that Mr. McLaren fixes this giant problem, because these M's are falling... and fast!

Get it together Seattle!

I think that the raiders made there first good decision in a long time in picking the fututre H.O.F. Darren McFadden. Justin Fargas is listed as their starting RB at this point but I feel that McFad will beat him out for the starting job during training camp.  The Raiders could be a surpise team this season. We'll just have to wait and see!

I think that Greg Oden will be next seasons rookie of the year. It may be early to say so, but i feel that he has grown tremendously (mentally and physically) this season during his injury. He is going to come into next season pumped and ready to dominate in the post. He will either be a GIANT bust or the future of dominant big men in the league. Only the time will tell. . .

After watching how stunning the Blazers have been this season i can't wait to see how much them improve with Greg Oden on the floor next season. Like I always say "Oden 08 worth the wait... preach it. "
