We’re live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Atlanta Hawks. Things haven’t been going our way lately. We’ve dropped 5 of the last 7 (those two wins coming against Golden State and a few of the bench players from last year’s Hornets). Despite three solid quarters, we were only […]

Blazers vs. Bobcats – Hot Live Blog Action
We’re live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Charlotte Bobcats. I can count the Bobcats’ wins on one hand, and still smoke a cigarette; they’ve beat Milwaukee, New York, and Golden State. I can sympathize. My fantasy team (The Slutty Sacagaweas) sits at the very bottom of the league […]

Delays at Bamboo NW
Well, Sonuvabitch. I’ve been waiting for the new Bamboo Sushi to open up in Northwest ever since Rose’s stopped advertising its famous reuben. The original projections have passed, but now they’re making me wait, according to the newsletter that went out today, until at least March. I guess work lunches will remain at Dr. Sushi […]
