Around SBN: The Week In Worst: When Baseball Goes Wrong

Junk Drawer -- Dec. 7 2k8 Early Morning Edition

Good morning Blazermaniacs....just wanted to remind you that the game is at 10:00 AM today! So if you're not a church goer, be here! And if you are a church goer...well....be here anyway! If you didn't make it to the Saturday night service, you can always take your laptop or iPhone to church and Bedge during potluck....

Ok, so while you're waiting for the game to start, here's a few links...

Youtubes

Big Baby bares all! He has been "shooting from the womb" and is the classic combination of Shaq and KG. He also used to do ballet, apparently. Hear from the Baby himself and special guest Sebastian Telfair.

Rudy Fernandez is a Supasta'...his personal highlights from Knicks and Wizards games.

Speaking of Rudy, you probably already saw it, but if you didn't, he and Sergio had the top play of the week for Dec. 4th...their oop at home vs. the Heat was numero uno. That Lebron James block at number 3 was equally sick if you ask me.

Links and quotes

Sean @ O-Live dug up some stuff from a real NBA scout from the Eastern Conference on the Blazers and Greg Oden......worth a read.

O-Live's J-Quick has a preview of the game...

Not usually a big fan of Canzano, but he wrote an interesting article about what happened when we played the Celtics last season. The money quote was this:

After the game [from last season], Blazers assistant Maurice Lucas walked past, and said that nobody trash-talked like Garnett during his playing career, because, "Back then, it was only a $50 fine for punching a guy in the mouth."

More Blazer-related links. Credit to Truehoop for sniffing these out.

TV ratings information. Our home TV market is up 44%, good enough for 4th-best increase in the league. The worst? Clippers at -66%.

Former coach Eric Musselman heaps praise on B-Roy, calling him "a calming, thoughtful leader."

In an unscientific poll of random GMs, 4 out of 6 say Oden > Rose. Hmm...interesting.

Alright, that's all I got.

Here's hoping this is KG's reaction after we spank the C's on the 30th...

Junky Drawers 12/07/08 Late to Bed-Early to Rise Edition

Dsc_7779_tiny by BlazermaniacAndy on Dec 7, 2008 12:22 AM PST

Good Evening! Good Morning! It’s your favorite Blazermaniac Andy here (what, you know another!?) and I have stayed up this late to bring you all the brand spankety ankin new Junk Drawer for this fine day, Our redemption day over the boston blowout game. Our poor northern brothers, Oh how I feel sorry for that Canadian team right now. We suffer a blowout loss, they suffer one too, and then we take a trip to Canada and gift them one more blowout loss just for good measure, it’s cruel really. So what do you think? You read Jason’s Q’s article, and I have already called for the Firing of…. No One! Come on people that was a great celtic team with a PHD in trash talking we lost to on Friday! Let’s just do the right thing. Go back to school, major in garbage mouth (or just let our game do the talking for us) and go to Canadia and serve the Canuck’s a full pint glass of whoop arse! Ok, maybe that is a little bit of the Full Sail LTD limited edition Lager talking, but seriously, I passed up going downtown to Bar 15 with 4 HOTT drunk blonde chicks so I could come back home and get up in time to watch the Blazer game. Am I a loser? Your dang right, but tomorrow I’ll be a winner! It hurt, you should of have seen her, ahem, assets. Talk about sacrifice! Can ANYONE claim they left more behind in hopes of watching a victory!?

So, I will stay up for a few more hours until can easily pass out in front of my Tele set, and by nine o’clock John Farley and Colin Quarterman will be here with yours truely (what you know another Blazermaniac Andy!?) to witness the Portland Pinwheel getting back on track towards the playoffs!

So here it is, a junk drawer, about the Blazers. I apologize. So allow to make this post special and start talking about things that have nothing to do with the Red and Black.

Moss On Roof’s. You are probably from Arizona and have never heard of this rain stuff, but basically it drops from the sky and causes this really cool green stuff called moss to grow on our roofs. So, every so often, you get to spend the ENTIRE day, scraping, sweeping, sweating, and of course, cursing, to remove a few hundred pounds of this from your lovely mothers domicile. yeah, it sucked. So, anyone had the same problem? What’s your secret? I got this Moss Off stuff, does that help?

That movie Munich, I watched the first half and it was good, and then don’t you love not getting to finish the second half of a movie cause you have to go hang out with drunk blonde chicks?!

Roommates, I hate mine. Want to move in? Promise you won’t spill a plate of spaghetti on my brand new carpet?! Your in!

And Finally, winter, I.E. The cold. My brother bought a new 12 ft boat today, it’s from 1970, and we were outside all day building a new platform to stand on and new bench’s. Anyone else been noticing your tan is fading? Or perhaps, your heating bill is like mine, hundreds of dollars a month! Gotta love these 1970’s homes with NO insulation! That’s all I got, this post, and no insulation!

I come here to meet chicks...

FYI

The moss poison that some homeowners apply to their roofs to expeditiously remove their moss is highly toxic and inevitably ends up in local waterways. If you like to go fishing or if you enjoy other water-related activities, please avoid chemical solutions to the moss problem.

Here I was, alone at home with a cold PBR in my hand, it’s midnight, I think to myself “hey self, you probably have a friend on the BEdge some where creating a post at this moment with a bunch of cool hyper links (is that what they are called?) and, you should go ahead an waste 24 minutes of your life writing a post that no one will ever get to comment on and then as soon as you post it your good buddy prez will of have already post a much better (but albeit less Junky) junk drawer up to thwart your jealous tendencies of having a "most posted on” post ever :( . . .

ok so let’s just comment on this comment all night, at least until we go to bed, it will make me feel better, I, like Kermit, like being Green

I'm working on a blaxploitation zombie movie idea

I want to rip off the movie Eat and Run. In that movie an alien comes to earth and eats people. He eats an Italian man who was nice and spicy so from then on, the alien would only eat Italian people.

I was thinking my movie would be about zombies that eat everyone but have a hankerin’ for black people’s brains. I was going to call it Chocolate Brains and rewrite the song Chocolate Rain.

My fiancee was watching Gems TV the other day

And the lady on the picture box started talking about the Trail Blazers and how much she loves them and she made a special trip to NYC to watch them play the Knicks and she cheered for them the whole time and everyone looked at her mean but she didn’t care cuz she loves her Blazers.

It was out of the blue and was funny to me because I like the Blazers too!

I almost wrote this in someone's fanpost

Last year after a game there were tons of trade proposals after a game saying we needed a player from the opponent. Now people write posts about characteristics of players from the opponent that the Blazers need. I guess it’s a positive step.

by tominhawaii on Dec 7, 2008 6:34 AM PST reply actions  

I find it ironic that last week was the most active week for trade posts

Blazers were on a 6 game winning streak. Weird.

Yeah

They’ll be back if the Blazers win today. I’m probably over simplifying things but it seems like there are three basic types of posts on here now.

1. Stats
2. Trades proposals
3. Complaints after a loss or about trade proposals

It is freezing, cold, wet, and dark here

Perfect for a cup of tea and a Blazer game in the morning to start the day. The only problem with morning games is that it could ruin the rest of your day. Or, make it the best day ever.

Marbury a Celtic?

“Banished New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury refused to confirm or deny a report on ESPN Radio Friday night that said he was expecting to be released within a week so that he could sign with Boston, Orlando or Miami.”

How sweet would that be? A direct injection of cancer into the vein.

We should have a contest

And see who can get banned off the most SB Nation blogs.

There's no extradition treaty.

Getting banned is no problem. The mountain top would be to get banned on every Sb basketball blog except this one in a single day.

That would be hard

I think we need to set ground rules. You can’t just go over to the other blogs and cuss out someone or post a photo of a penis.

Channing Frye's DNP

It wasn’t a great game for him to get minutes, since Bosh, JO, and Graham would all be tough assignments for him. But, on Webster’s first day back, Frye sits down.

This was considerably more sudden than I would have anticipated. It seems that Nate is playing the starters longer minutes [especially in close games, which is expected], and even Joel is seeing his minutes dwindle.

Hopefully, this will light a fire under those guys and we’ll see some good play coming up at home. With Martell rejoining the team, Batum is still a starter, which means we need one fewer forward. Outlaw will play the backup PF when he can, and that means that either Batum or Channing needs to lose minutes. So far, advantage Batum.

Rumor is the Wolves will replace their coach before their next game against Utah on Tuesday

Worst case would probably be if McHale takes over. Though that would be only fair if he had to work with the players he acquired in various trades and drafts.

If I was the Wolves...

I’d try someone like Dave for coach. Seriously! An arm-chair coach who knows alot about the game but has prolly never coached—just to see what would happen.

Wow, the Bucks are stinking it up tonight... Midway through the 3rd, Lakers 62 - Bucks 37...

Lakers have scored a total of 3 points off their bench. They are NOT as deep as people think they are — Farmar is slumping (0 pts. and sitting almost all game) and Odom is really not that impressive of a player.

The Lakers can be beat about now. Not that amazing, the way they were at the start of the year…

Colonel Rondo and his second round armada? 

If Boston is determine to rebuild and cut salary isn’t two mid lotto pics and the right salary filler decent. Maybe not enough but better than what most teams get in that situation.  I would prefer that over the Chris Paul package.

I hope and figure that the Trail Blazers could have the best of both worlds. I’ve never seen a more bountiful 2nd round. Its conceivable that the team could deal both lotto picks and still find some nice players in the draft.  Players like Orlando Johnson, Lucas Nogueira, Kevin Jones, Will Barton are 1st rounders in most drafts even if its just based on hype and potential. Then you have some possible gems in such a deep draft like Machado, a couple guys that I personally like from Georgetown-their center Henry Sims and forward Hollis Tompson.  Both high upside players that I would love to watch in the summer league.  If PA were to ever buy into or trade into late first or second round now is the time. Give me Freeland, Diebler and four second rounders in the summer league with Rondo coaching.
