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

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

“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?
