Timbers Getting Their Game On

The Timbers aren't taking their first round bye sitting down. Today they play the Kitsap Pumas at PGE Park at 4pm. The game is only open to season ticket holders, but don't fret there are rumors abound that they won't play a full 90 minutes. You may remember the Kitsap Pumas from earlier in the season as the Timbers traveled to Bremerton, Washington to knock the Pumas out of the US Open Cup. Kitsap will be a great way to keep our boys fresh and allow coach Wilkinson to try out a few things. I am also impressed with management's decision to open the scrimmage to season ticket holders only, as those who bite the bullet, deserve some extra rewards. Those of us who want to see scrimmage but don't have season tickets have a few mostly bad choices,
  • stand on the 18th street side and look through the fence, which is really not that bad of a view
  • flirt with the gatekeepers
  • beg, plead and cry to be let in
  • scan the park for a weakness, then exploit it
  • impersonate a Kitsap trainer and explain that the Jameson bottle is actually a new energy drink needed by your squad
  • pose as a bad writer for a half-assed blog and hope.

    That's a good one as I count the mac club as the great eternal season ticket holders.

    Anybody able to find and exploit any weakness in the PGE defense system yesterday? I was thinking of parachuting into the stadium, but that's been done before.

    The game was split into three 20 minute periods. First period was all players coming off the bench, the 2nd period was mix of bench and starters, Portland had 2 power plays but failed to score. In the 3rd period starters came unto the ice, but Kitsap won 1-0. This was a scrimmage and a good one at that. We are lucky to have a local team like Kitsap to spar with.
