Out with the old...

Well it went from speculation to rumor to truth in the matter of a few days, but Blazers mainstay and uberpest Marty Standish was traded to Laredo today in exchange for future considerations. The move makes room for Chad Hinz on Sauter's already loaded roster, and it gives Standish a whole new conference of players whose skin he can get under. I'm sure it'll also help Terry Ruskowski light a fire under his guys, as if jobs weren't on the line already following a very un-Laredo like 6-4-0 start (remember when they lost just 8 games in regulation all year back in 03-04?).

Of course, logic says that Marty Standish has been such a royal pain-in-the-a** for nearly the past decade that he would have to go to a Southern Conference team, as not too many fans have short-term memories when it comes to guys like him

Alex,
Russell Smith was waived for Mike MacDonald coming back off of IR?

Yeah I just saw that when I got home. I'll look into that a bit further though. Hopefully Murph can bring someone in to sure up the back end.

Is Murph planning on keeping a 19 man roster this season?
I would love to see a pickup of a good D man...
