Breaking down the Blazers by position....Part One
Its starting to look like the Blazers roster is shaping up nicely for next season and some team officials have indicated they think their won't be any more personel moves before the games begin. Originally, I thought I'd begin this series with the 1 position, but with todays big news about the Brandon Roy contract I found myself thinking about him.
Other than perhaps center, the 2 is the strongest position on the Blazers.
Brandon Roy, starter
Rudy Fernandez, backup
Bayless, & Blake may play limited minutes at this position
All star Brandon Roy, recently rewarded with a five year contract worth over eighty million dollars, is the unquestioned leader of our team. If you look back at the impact Brandon has had on the Blazers one might go so far as to say that the day he was drafted was the end of the Jailblazer era. On and off the court he has been a model of what ownership and fans alike want from a player.

Cleveland Indians - onda2531
Well the Indians season is over but how will they fix this so this doesnt happen in the future. I think they should they trade for prospects. Espn.com says the Indians have the 5th best farm system thanks from the trades of C.C and Casey Blake who got us LaPorta and Carlos Santana but are star pitcher Adam Miller is all ways getting hurt so who knows if he will ever make it up here. There are some talks that they might trade Cliff Lee but cleveland needs to be overwhelmed for that to happen but trading Cliff soon while he is playing good might be better then trading him next year when we dont how how well he will be playing or what kind of talent we will get for him. Well that is what I think might help the tribe post a comment telling me what you would do.

Since Shapiro said Wedge's job is safe for the rest of the year the hope of new management in Cleveland must wait. When next year comes around I would love to see a new set of guys coaching the team. My dream choice would be Mike Hargrove. That is unlikely but still possible.
Post who you want to manage the Tribe and maybe the Dolans might listen.

Okay... so the Sonics are gone. Now what? What does Seattle have to do to get another NBA team? Seattle is too big a city to be without one.

Working at Citifield as i do, puts me in a unique situation. I get to see the pulse of the team, and although i am a hospitality attendant, (merchandiser at Majestic team store) i see the team in a different light, or so i think. I look at these Mets and i think Carlos Delgado was a big loss to them. I was a big advocate for the signing of Manny Ramirez, and his violation of the drug policy makes the Wilpon's a genius for staying away, and Minaya a good GM for not pushing the signing. I think Mr. Minaya has done a fine job of putting a team together. Now that i have a closer look at the demographic of people that come to the games, and the guests that spend good money, the Mets are in need of a superstar that can sit up there with Santana. Fans and guests want a player they can relate to,

New York Yankees - Ondre Baronette
The Yankees lost to the Nationals tonight. That is not that glaring of a problem, because they will still be right there in September and October. The Yankees have the pieces to get the bat that their lineup seems to be missing. I know that Xavier Nady is hurt and he was supposed to be the right handed power, protecting Posada or Cano. But there might be a need to look close at Holliday. Matt that is, he could do serious damage in the new Yankees stadium. He can be the rental that pushes them over the top. Johnny Damon and Hiedki Matsui come off the books. They can resign Matt and still have a smaller payroll than they do this year. I just think that A-Rod is looking human, and without his added energy boost for the dog-days of summer these men play through. They have some young pitchers a
