Timbers Grab Bag 08.20.08
By: Bob Kellett | August 20th, 2008
BJ, One T on TOTW
Bryan Jordan and Scot Thompson were named to the prestigious USL First Division Team of the Week this week for their efforts in the Timbers’ 2-1 victory over Montreal on Saturday. It is the third week in a row that Jordan has received the honor, which I believe entitles him to a free ice cream sundae at Burger King. Thompson makes the A-list for the second time this season. It is pretty much a given that every time Scot has a successful long ball pass he’s going to be on the team of the week.
Not much of a hit in Hillsboro
If this is the voice of opposition, than the Lents stadium proposal is a slam dunk.
If you are interested in talking stadium parking and other fun stuff, there is a community work group meeting in Lents on Thursday evening at 6pm at the Boys and Girls Club.
The Timbers are sponsors for this?
I guess it doesn’t hurt to get your name out in front of 100,000 folks.
The marketing never says it’s an open-air evangelical revival led by Palau, a 73-year-old Argentine-born Christian evangelist who preaches at massive “festivals” organized from his worldwide headquarters in Beaverton.
Notwithstanding Portland’s godless reputation, organizers estimate at least 100,000 people will show up on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 22-23, to Waterfront Park (30,000 more than came out one day for Barack Obama in May).
Picnic with the players
I have no doubt that Justin Thompson will appreciate the potato salad you bring to the picnic.
Cascadia Cup
The Seattle Sounders host the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight, which gives Mr. Wilkinson and Co. an opportunity to scout the Timbers’ next opponent. It also gives fans one of the last opportunities to watch the Cascadia Cup, at least in its current format. Here’s how things stand heading into the last three games of the competition:
Seattle: 7pts (2 games vs Van. left)
Portland: 4pts (1 game vs Van. left)
Vancouver: 3pts 6pts (2 games vs. Seattle, 1 game vs. Portland)
One of these decades the Timbers might actually win this thing.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Vancouver should have 6 Cascadia Cup points with 2 wins over us…yuck.

Who in their right mind would take the Sellwood Bridge to get to Lents from Hillsboro?

“Who in their right mind would take the Sellwood Bridge to get to Lents from Hillsboro?”
What makes you think that anyone writing for the Hillsboro Argus is in their right mind?

To reiterate - the Hillsboro Argus writer seems to be using the following logic: Baseball in Portland should be in Portland therefore I oppose putting the Beavers in a site that is in fact well within Portland. By the way the baseball team in Portland should accomodate Washington County needs.

Wasn’t Argus the guy with 100 eyes who was charged by Hera with the task of guarding Io, who had been changed into a cow by Zeus to protect her from Hera because she (Hera) was a jealous wife and Zeus had been fucking Io, and Argus made a good guard because of those 100 eyes he could sleep and still have some eyes open, but then someone came and killed him or shot his eyes out and Io escaped but then Hera set the gadflies on her to torment her throughout the rest of her life as a heifer?
Strange name for a newspaper. The newspaper in my college town was called the “Democrat.”

Laughable reasoning on the part of the Argue reporter! Sellwood Bridge to Lents? He must love that I get to Hillsboro via the Staten Island Ferry.

Also then Hera took dead Argus’ eyes and put them on the tail her favorite bird: the peacock. See because it looks like a peacock’s tail has eyes on it.

The Argus is a joke and who gives a s*** about baseball anyway…

What is Cascadia Cup?

I was at a Beaver Game a few weeks back and their were less than 1000 people in the stands. Let’s not pretend that Washington County folks are flooding PGE now. I live in Beaverton, but grew up in the Lents area. I would support the team a lot more in SE if they had a nice state of the art ball park where 1000 fans actually looks like something instead of the Piggy where I can hear the Managers in the dug out.

The Cascadia Cup is something the Timbers are seemingly destined never, ever, to win.
