ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!

If you're one of the many sports fans in Portland who think that the L*kers are most hateworthy franchise in the USA, you were wrong!

Get your butt to PGE Park on Wednesday 7/1 @ 7pm to watch your Portland Timbers take on the Seattle Sounders FC (read: sh*ttle flounders) in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

The Portland-Seattle soccer rivalry dates back to the 1970's in the old North American Soccer League (the one that Pele played in.) Don't miss this opportunity to represent your home town of Portland in the biggest and best soccer rivalry in the United States.

Tickets start at $12 and go on sale Thursday 6/18 @ 10am

So, be there to stand up for your city and fight in the defense of all things good and true! If you're not there, you don't love Portland or Oregon!

It will be EPIC!

I’ve long thought the deal that made the most sense for both teams with Hinrich was with Portland. Their GM is a Kansas guy like Hinrich and Steve Blake would be an ideal and cheaper backup combo guard. But the talk is the Trail Blazers will sign the 76ers Andre Miller as a free agent. Then they’ll use their extra pieces, perhaps including Blake, to make a deal for a banger up front. Then the 76ers would need a point guard, and that could be where Bibby goes if the 76ers lose Miller, which seems likely as the free agent boycotted the team’s final meetings.

Houston fans yelling the "N" word at Martell Webster

Houston fans yelling the "N" word at Martell Webster

Wow... Houston fans sure lack any class. I understand the "Portland Sucks" chants. I mean, during the course of the season, we in Portland chanted "Kobe Sucks" and "Garnett Sucks" as well as chanting "Lets Go Blazers" so loud that you couldn't hear the Rockets introductions in any of the playoff games.

But, really? You gotta get all racial nasty on a guy who didn't even dress for the game. That's low.

I remember a certain incident when a fan in Orlando was shouting racial slurs at Dikembe Mutumbo. That guy was booted from the arena and his season tickets were revoked. I call for the same thing to happen to those classless fans in Houston who felt the need to do this.

HELP! NEED VIDEO FEED!

David here writing from Zaragoza, Spain again. Game 6 tonight will be on TV here in Spain, but not on a channel I can get here in the hotel. Also, since the game is being broadcast here, I can't even get it with NBA League Pass International.

Please! Can anyone post a link here to an online video feed so I can watch the game tonight? If I don't get to watch the game it will be worse than the withdrawls I had when I quit smoking.

Portlander in Spain

david1978pdx — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:08:39 -0000

Hello to everyone back home in Portland! Went along with my wife on a business trip to Zaragoza, Spain... And, here I am at 04:00 crawling out of bed and turning on the TV on while trying no to wake my wife, so I can watch the game.

Watching the RG from all the way over here is really wierd... Especially, since I have season tickets and I would have been at the game tonight if it were not for this trip. Hope you are all enjoying Mike and Mike. All I've got are two Spanish homers who all they care about it Rudy and Serg. LOL!

Spanish Fans Losing Sleep

Spanish Fans Losing Sleep

What a funny coincidence that The Oregonian publishes this article the day before I leave for Spain. Thankfully, the hotel where I will be staying in Zaragoza will have satellite TV so I won't have to miss a single Blazers game.

I remember watching a Blazers game on ESPN while in New York in November. Seeing the Portland skyline and the MAX trains made me so very homesick. I know that watching the Rose Garden crowd while on the other side of the Earth will make me sad. At least my parents will be able to use my season tickets while I am away.

If by chance there are any Blazers fan in Spain, especially in Zaragoza, please respond in the comments. Maybe there is a good bar or pub to watch the game at?

Rockets Fan Ref Rage

Looks like Rockets fans think their team got screwed in Game 2. Sound familiar?
