SOUNDS OF SILENCE by Tannen

Can you hear it? Give a long, hard listen. No talk in recent days about Alex Rodriguez and steroids. Why? Because in the Cactus & Grapefruit Leagues they're playing games. True baseball fans are willing to let Barry, Arod and BALCO play itself out because we know that's what really matters. It's the fringe people and those always looking to put the knock on our National Pasttime who focus too much on the performance enhancers. We know these guys are cheating scum bags who've embarassed the game and we'll make it our business to always remind our kids & their kids about what they did. Once the ump yells "PLAY BALL", all the other crap disappears and is left to the legal system. You won't see Bonds, Clemens and the juice patrol ever get into the Hall of Fame. It's time to focus on the 2009 season.
If you have an interest in winning a pair of tickets to Sunday's hardwood Civil War at Mac Court, Section 215, Row 5, Seats 3 & 4 just e-mail the correct answer to this question.
When was the last time Oregon State beat the Ducks at The Pit in men's hoops?

Tough loss for the Blazers last night at San Antonio. Can't use the No Oden excuse as the Spurs went without Tim Duncan. Remember, this Portland team is still a work in progress and in my opinion, remain a bit ahead of any logical set of expectations heading into this 2008-09 season. They're on pace to win 51 games and make their 1st post season appearance in 6 years. Plus this team is an awful lot of fun to watch with a great work ethic. The word on Oden is a chipped left kneecap which will not require surgery, but they have not set a definite date for his return, but it looks like the optimistic target date of tomorrow against the T-Wolves likely won't happen.
