JD 9/15-- The one that was almost about baseball

So the season is just around the corner (someone mentioned today it's 3 weeks 'til the preseason). I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I can't wait. This is the season that we find out what the current Blazers are really made of after 2 years with the core intact (if injured) and 2 first-round playoff exits. Some Blazers got useful international experience this summer, others saw their limitations in a new light last year as they were forced to shoulder a larger role with our skeletal roster. So my question to you is, who's going to surprise us this year? Who will step up and be a leader, or unveil a new facet of their game, increase their production to the next level, or take a huge step back?

 

I was thisclose to making this JD about baseball... So as an alternate topic, who wins the AL East, NL East & West, and NL Wild Card? Who wins mvp and Cy Young in both leagues? Discuss, or thank me for not making baseball the primary topic.

 

Remember, summer officially ends in a week. So quit yer junkin' and get some sun!

The daily Junk Drawer (JD) fanpost is the place for true off-topic conversation and people's random thoughts.  Its purpose was simple from its infancy; a place where people could come and chat about all of the "whatevers" that didn't fit with the rest of the site and even be loose in terms of byplay and humor.  The goal was to foster community...to let people who wanted to get to know each other outside of what they could discern from the strictly basketball posts.  We've had happy JD's, sad ones, drawers that looked like a sharing circle, drawers that resembled open mic night at the comedy club... and people have really become a family here.

So if you have a one-off thought, consider posting it here. The rules about importance and significance of the topic are suspended in each JD but keep some of these basic rules in mind:

  1. Ad hominem attacks and swearing will never be tolerated
  2. Remember everything you write is visible publicly 
  3. Don't use the JD call out or talk about users from other BEdge threads.
  4. Be mindful that every image posted slows down the JD, so use discretion in how many you post (you can also link to images you want to share so that they will not overwhelm the JD). When you do post images, put something in the subject line of the comment so that the image can be minimized.
