The word from the boss is that there are only 2,300 tickets left for Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Sounders. Full stadium*. Amazing. Now would be the time to secure your spot in PGE Park, you slacker, you.

Ho hum. Just another Kitsap, WA – Cary, NC – Charleston, SC road trip. Three games in five days. Nearly 3,00 miles in travel. This would be unusual if it weren’t the USL First Division where the intended league purpose is to render its players useless by the age of 25.
Useless [...]

Don’t look now but the Portland Timbers are one-third of the way through their 2009 campaign. Time flies when you go weeks without blogging. Apologies and all that. Ten games into the season seems like as good of a time as any to evaluate where things stand. We know that the [...]
