Jeeeez, am I late with this one. Pertinent news first, I suppose: the Timbers face the Montreal Impact today, 5pm at PGE Park. Be there. Even more Important, the Timbers face their nemeses, the Shittle Sounders, on Wednesday, 7pm, at PGE Park. That will be an event worth witnessing. Be there too. [...]

PTFC2K9: Whirlwhind Weekend
The Portland Timbers played 4 matches in under 7 days starting last Thursday: two US Open Cup matches, on either side of a weekend tour of the USL1 deep South, to play the top 2 teams in the USL, the Carolina Railhawks and Charleston Battery. A 9 game streak without a loss was on the [...]
PTFC2K9: Thunder and Lightning
Not a whole lot of people wanted to go outside on Thursday, and who could blame them–that was one hell of a storm. But the Portland Timbers had a game to play, and though many had to brave the elements to get to the game, the game itself was only sprinkled with steady rain.
The [...]
PTFC2K9: Firing on all cylinders
Portland’s most magical weekend—well perhaps its most family friendly magical weekend— was the perfect setting for a Timbers team to take on the Vancouver Whitecaps, last year’s league champions and the only team who has beaten the Timbers this year.
I always like games against Vancouver because of the rivalry, the history, and the away support [...]
PTFC2K9: Beachfront Points and Burnley Cometh
I’d feel guilty about not getting these match reports out sooner, but I waited long enough to have news to break!
The Portland Timbers headed for a weekend of games in Puerto Rico last weekend (sorry I’m late!) and played extremely well given the conditions (hot and muggy) and the stadium (crap pitch).
Also, the [...]
PTFC2k9: Crushing sadness, Thrilling victory
Thursday’s game was cast under a shadow before it started: Hartmut Bless, a longtime Timbers Army member known as ‘Timber Howie,’ (I called him ‘The General’) passed away. Howie was always the first in the park, always standing in front of the same seat, and one of the kindest, most welcoming and encouraging people [...]
PTFC2K9: Doing donuts in your High School stadium
There are two types of games that end 0-0, the exciting games, and the utterly boring, tear your hair out, consider the possibility that the trolls might be right about this sport games. Somehow, when the Portland Timbers headed to Cleveland to play the newly ‘promoted’ Cleveland City Stars on Saturday night, we saw a [...]
It’s USL-ALIVE!
Huzzah! The only obstacle left is whether the Great Firewall and my internet connection are going to let me watch the mighty mighty PTFC.
Hi Mr. Witkowicz
I’m sure you get tons of email regarding the status of USL Live for next season, but I just relocated from Portland to Shanghai China, and I’m now very interested [...]
Well look who’s been called up to the big leagues
“Don’t think, Meat, you’ll only hurt the ball club”
My penchant for major league snark has caught the eye of a big league club. My first appearance out of the bullpen can be found here.
rants and raves
Rant: Fucking Timbers. They’re playing like they’re two goals up when they’re two goals down.
Rave: little piggy Give-away that gave the Army ammunition to pelt the Puerto Rico Goalkeeper who shook his nuts at us.
Rant: Fucking Timbers.
Rave: Bringing tourists into the Army who had fun despite the look of deep sadness on the [...]
