PDX Limericks – New Year’s Eve Edition

by PAgent

Although injuries knock their stars flat,
The Blazers will go to the mat.
Though their line-up grows lean
They’ll still field a team:
Three rookies, one coach, and Trail Cat.
When you marry you think it’s forever,
And it’s fine to be sad when it’s over.
But no matter how mad
You might be at their dad,
You DON’T throw your kids in the [...]

What is the Sound of One Man Clapping?

by Radio Gretchen

A series of misadventures have kept me from attending Blazer games lately, so I was pretty excited to be back at the Rose Garden for Tuesday night’s game against the Orlando Magic Miami Heat. I needed this game. I needed to sit in the stands and watch something that would take me out [...]

Blazer Fever – Don’t Catch It

by Radio Gretchen

Hello, Blazer Fans.
A few weeks ago, I was so excited because Blazer season was starting back up and that meant it was time for me to put my sports writer hat back on. I really enjoyed writing my Blazer posts last year, especially considering that I have no idea what I’m talking about. [...]

Hold on to that feeling

by Radio Gretchen

Tick Tock Tick Tock – Blazer fans are counting down to the NBA draft tomorrow.
In my household, NBA Draft Day is treated like a religious holiday. My boyfriend takes every NBA Draft Day off from work and spends the days prior indulging in any and all trade rumors, just like a kid speculating [...]

Believe

by Radio Gretchen

Q: What is the sound of 41,260 hands clapping?
A: Another Blazer victory in the Rose Garden.
Game five was louder than anything I’ve experienced to date and was also ridiculously fun. You had the sense when you entered the arena that this game was ours. They were handing out signs that read “Rise [...]

Blazer Fans Get Crafty

by Radio Gretchen

My boyfriend and I have a half-season Blazer ticket package, which means that we go to half of the home games each season. We’ve often wondered about who is sitting in our seats on the nights we are not there and, should the Blazers make it to the playoffs, who is going to [...]

Blazer Hangover

by Radio Gretchen

A summary of today’s water cooler talk statewide: “How ‘bout dem Blazers, eh? Not bad. Not bad.”
Sitting at my desk at work today, my ears were still ringing and my computer fan sounded vaguely like the roar of last night’s crowd. My hands are a tad bit rough from all the nail-biting, clapping and [...]

Fans Don’t Leave

by Radio Gretchen

So… the Blazers’ playoff debut? Kind of a bummer.
The Houston Rockets, led by genetically engineered Yao Ming, made 58.5 % of their shots and beat Portland 108 to (let’s not talk about it). I don’t know what it was like for you folks watching from home, but watching it live and in [...]
