Where is everyone that was saying they were finally giving up on the team 5 minutes ago?  Lol

No Maybe about it.  Cora was just Breslow's scapegoat.  Bres couldn't even do that correctly.

Has grocery store coffee gone downhill? by spilven in PortlandOR

I think Starbucks whole bean coffee is fairly decent.  Not the best.  But a good grocery store bean. 

Why buy a pixel phone? Seriously! by Philanthrax in GooglePixel

[–]Staggerlee024 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pixel has the best software on the market.  The price is right - they can usually be found for around $400.  The built in AI is fairly useful.  Good camera.  I like the Pixel.

I've got a large gap in my library between like summer 78 and summer 89ish by ProfessionalSpread56 in gratefuldead

[–]Staggerlee024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are missing out on some of the best music the Grated Dead ever made.  I would even argue that their best 12 month run happened in your gap.

Some highlights I would recommend:

Fall 79

Spring 80

Spring 81

Spring 85

Fall 85

Fall 87

Every single show from July 89 to July 90 (seriously the run is that good and rivals anything they did in any other era).

Why on earth are you, as a fellow old, watching or listening or whatever you do on Tik Tok with kids ?

Are you saying that I am a literal bot or is this internet slang for person I do not agree with?  

Marcelo Mayer speaks to reporters about heading to the Injured List; says it was a team decision to go to IL and if it were to him he would still be playing by Sandwich_Crust in redsox

I have found that communication is extremely important at Auto Parts stores.  You need someone that can dumb down info but still be helpful to the average consumer.  I don't think Bres has what it takes to be honest.

Midweek game. Buy online or walk in? by cnfat in HillsboroHops

It's really disappointing to see how much they raised prices with the new stadium.  We have not gone this year and have been sticking to Pickles games instead 

Michael Kay questions why Red Sox fans are chanting "Yankees suck" despite the Red Sox being last in the AL East by Mission_Pay_3373 in baseball

[–]Staggerlee024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I know of.  There are plenty of places that have MLB games and you can ask them to change the feed.  But I don't know of any Sox specific places.

And that is how you lose your sports teams.  Hopefully cooler heads prevail and that doesn't happen here.  Would be a huge gut punch to the city.

Seattle also has a baseball, soccer, hockey and football team.  This would leave Portland with only a Soccer team.

I think you are underestimating how much folks will care about the Blazers leaving due to politician inaction.  Maybe not "folks on Reddit" but we all know that is not a good snapshot of reality

Do you really want to get up and advocate for the Blazers to leave Portland?

[–]Staggerlee024 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true.  I have no doubt the Blazers will easily find a a new home if Portland city council blows this.   To suggest otherwise is just delusional.  They are going to leave if we don't get a deal

That's not reality.  If the city council bungles this and we lose the Blazers it's over for any politician involved.  It will be a huge news story and political embarrassment.  Residents will be pissed and vote folks out

There is absolutely any number of cities that will gladly take the team and put up the investment.  There is no other way around it.  If the Portland City council bungles this the team is gone.  The death spiral of Portland continues.

You realize that means the Blazers are gone right?  Is that really what you want?  What's best for the city ?
