Blasts from the Past: Oops Edition
I feel kinda bad about ragging on an esteemed DRaysBay staffer over a column he wrote praising David Price right before King Velociraptor Jesus went out this week and took a couple of dumps on the mound. So I decided to use some 20/20 hindsight to look back through the DRB archives and find some...
Jamie Moyer and Cheating Death
I remember where I was when I learned that Jamie Moyer had been traded to the Phillies. It was two in the afternoon, and I was sitting in my car waiting for someone to show up and let me look at a potential house for rent. A lazy, stale August wind stirred sticky heat across pavement. ...
Dear Bobcats fans: Here in Portland, we feel your pain. We really do.
Dear Bobcats fans: Here in Portland, we feel your pain. We really do. We're sending you Joel Przybilla. The Thrilla. He's been a Blazer about as long as Gerald's been a Bobcat and, although we can see the logic of the trade, it's still torn a little piece of our collective heart out. Joel is a...

Bring Rudy Fernandez to Chicago (Pritchslap the Blazers)
Rudy Fernandez is unhappy in Portland (who wouldn't be). He wants to start, wants to play more, he wants to be closer to family and friends, he wants his nickname "Spanish Fly" to take off, and he wants out of McMillan's "slow it down / pass it to Roy / watch" offense. (Though the experience...
