Alright people.....stop with the Greg Odem (or Odom) pronounciations!!
It's Greg Oden for crying out loud....and it's beginning to stress me out.
If you want to comment on the savior that "may" end up coming here to Portland....then please start calling him by his name!!!
If your still confused, let me help.
It's really quite simple (say it with me now) .......Oh-den.

Let me preface this blog entry with.....I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!
I am supposed to be unbiased....but I could not hold the excitement. Not only do I cover the Blazers on a regular basis....but I've also built a solid rapport with the players, coaches, and staff. I am so thankful that something of this magnitude has happened to this franchise. The Blazers certainly have been through alot in recent years....and much of it HASN'T been thei...

It is welcomed with open arms. The Blazers today announcing their parntership with Comcast SportsNet. The new regional sports network....devoted solely to the Blazers--and sports in Oregon--will launch this October. All but 1 Blazer game will be televised between Comcast...and this very station, KGW. What a score for fans throughout Oregon.
I know I echo the thoughts of many of you....FSNW (aka Fox Sports Seattle) will become...

The baseball world is taking notice of the modern day Crash Davis.
He is former Portland Beaver Jack Cust....now getting his shot in Oakland.
And, so far, he's making a believer out of GM Billy Beane. All Cust has done in his first 10 games with the A's is hit 7 homers and knock in 15 runs. It's helped keep a very banged up Oakland barely above water.
It's the A's bullpen (including Alan Embree--a resident of The Dalles)...

I'm a little angered tonight after what transpired in Phoenix in Game 5.
The Suns led by 16 points....but choked away that lead.
Do we blame their inept or careless attempt to protect the lead (and ball)?
Or will we still look at the suspensions that David Stern issued a day earlier?
Place the blame on whoever...but remember, this was the Suns game....and they gave it away.
Sure, Amare and Boris would'...

What a performance by Sheldon High School's Philip Bagdade at the 6A state golf tournament today. Bagdade is a junior....but seemed to master the OGA course in Woodburn (which, by the way, isn't necessarily easy). Bagdade was unconscience early on too....carding birdies on 7 straight holes (5 thru 12). And that was tough for anyone to catch up to. Bagdade closed with a sensational 6-under-66....to win the individual title. Kudos to y...

I can't even fathom why Mariners GM Bill Bavasi continues to "believe" in Jeff Weaver. How tired are you M's fans of these uncanny personel decisions? It's rather mind-boggling....and I'm a fan of a different AL West team. Each time I see Weaver as the "probable" pitcher...I wince! He's just a month into his Mariner tenure....and has lost all 6 games he's started. Plus, he's got a robust 14.32 ERA--highest among every starting pitcher...

This past weekend had been circled on my calendar for quite some time. One year to be exact! Down at Mt. Bachelor in Bend...they held the 5th Annual Race & Ace--a team event that is considered the best in all of North America. This year there were 20 four-person teams....and 7 two-person teams. It was the second year I competed--and I use that word loosely! I teammed up with KVAL Sports Director, and good friend, Tom Ward. We finish...

Kiki Lara is only 1 game into his Timbers tenure.....but don't be shocked if he's jumping for joy for next Wednesday's game vs. Necaxa. Sure, there is a game Saturday vs. rival Seattle.....but that pales in comparison to what's brewing inside Lara.
"It wasn't my favorite team", Lara said laughing. Not even close! Lara, who's parents are Mexican immigrants, grew up a huge fan of Chivas--one of Necaxa's fiercest rivals.

Timbe...
