Is Portland coming apart at the seams?

I don't have any cards to show off today.  But it's just as well.  I've got a great sense of foreboding regarding my team, the Blazers, at the moment.  And I just don't feel like cards at the moment.  I feel like screaming at the Blazers management to get it together already.  The whole city is looking at you.  And we're shaking our heads.

Depending on who you read or listen to, the Blazers have absolutely no problems - or they're in danger of complete ruin.  I'm thinking it's somewhere in between.

The controversy surrounds Kevin Pritchard, the GM of the team.  Reports are that he could be on his way out.  And I'm baffled.  The team fired his assistant and team VP, Penn, earlier this week in a surprise move.  And now it seems Pritchard might be on his way to the Unemployment Office too.  I hope not.

Pritchard has been so vital in redesigning the Blazers.  We're no longer the Jail Blazers.  I just hope this blows over quickly.

There's like 12 or 13 games left for the Blazers before the playoffs.  And they couldn't wait until the offseason to do all of this?  Something is really wrong with the picture.  Hopefully my spirits are higher tomorrow regarding basketball, basketball cards and the Blazers.  Right now I just feel like, "are you F'ing kidding me?"
