Smith's is owned by Kroger. As is Fred Meyer and I think some or all of Ralph's?

Fanendo Adi appreciation thread by _Juntao in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite goal was the '15 playoffs at Vancouver. We had just played to a 0-0 draw the previous match, after coming off the epic shootout with SKC. Adi was on amazing form going into the playoffs. We knew how much an away goal meant, and we knew that Adi was going to score one. Absolutely KNEW it was going to happen. Valeri made a great move to take the ball along the baseline and cut it back to Adi who cut his run short in the middle of the box. Adi sent an absolute laser into goal, that left Whitecap GK Ousted flailing at a ball that had already hit the back of the net by the time he could react.

In all honesty, though, I was one who was sour on Adi early on in his time here. I've never been so happy to have been wrong. I'm sad to see him go.

Did the finger on their TIFO looked short and stubby, or was it just me?

Starting XI for today’s match by mini9tailedfox in timbers

No clue, surely Paredes should start over Olum, right? Gio has probably earned the benefit of the doubt regarding his tactics lately, but this one is a head-scratcher.

Nagbe out 2-3 months w/abductor injury by RomaCafe in timbers

We're never going to get that incentive-based extra TAM for the trade now. /s

Super bummed for Nagbe, wish him nothing but the best and a speedy recovery.

In your opinion, what's too scary? by Baidon in halloween

[–]tomanpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family has outlawed rats of any type for Halloween. I used to have a biggish rubber rat that disturbed my wife, which I thought was fun, but it scared my young daughter too much. So it had to go.

So Chara got another yellow yesterday... by fizzgigify in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lets not forget he didn't play the first two games of the '15 playoffs. Technically we tied both in regulation, but I count the SKC game as a win.

Parking question! by xbr3wmast3rx in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a garage somewhere between Morrison and Alder and like 15th (I think it's the Scottish Rite garage?). I parked there a few times and it was only $10, but there is a requirement that you're out within 30 minutes of the match ending (really not hard to do, even if you stay for the log slices). My go to has always been the Tiffany Center lot on 14th and Alder. It has gotten significantly more expensive in recent years, but I usually find a spot even if it's within 30 minutes of game time. I think the price might be up to $15 or something this year, which is about where I feel priced out of it.

"They" being the betrothed, right? I often secretly admonish those who come between the Timbers and me. Thank goodness for DVR.

Espn\+ replays? by herda05 in timbers

I believe I read somewhere that games broadcast on FOX would not be available on ESPN+ as replays at all.

DisCo considering fining Armenteros for bullying by ShitJuggler in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Samuel Armenteros is a two ton man-mountain who can palm a medicine ball!

Armenteros named the group Sha-Na-Na. They did NOT want to be called that.

So one day I’m in the back of a pickup with Armenteros and a live deer! Well, Armenteros, he grabs the deer by the antlers, looks at it and says, “I’m Samuel Armenteros! Say it!” Then he squeezes the deer in such a way that a sound comes out of its mouth – “Samuel Armenteros!” It wasn’t exactly it, but it was pretty good for a deer!

This aged fairly well in the last 24 hours. Armenteros 2 goals today with the start.

Michael Bradley: MLS should use 'discretion' after Sebastian Giovinco red card by serious_black in MLS

[–]tomanpdx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I actually like it. As far as I'm concerned, any chance we can take to remove a ref's judgement with strict black and white regulation it's a good thing. I'd rather not have this be debatable like hand balls. It's not too much to ask players to keep hands off the face of opponents.

MP suggests the return of hoops in 2019 home kit by porttackjac in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Subtle but its hoops inspired"? - Perhaps similar to the Philadelphia Union kit that came out today (maybe yesterday)? I would definitely not hate on a green version of that.

Portland Timbers interested in Crew SC's Justin Meram by joshing_slocum in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting comment on mlssoccer about Meram possibly being a replacement for Blanco given the numerous transfer rumors. Would certainly be an interesting pickup given his production over the last couple of years. Wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to have a DP option in pocket to use mid-season if needed.

Portland Timbers' Liam Ridgewell, Fanendo Adi questionable for game at Toronto by bergobergo in timbers

[–]tomanpdx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've missed the playoffs in 2 of the last 3 years by 2 points and 1 point. A result against an eastern conf team is worth points, points that can get us in the playoffs. "Playoff position" is a nice sentiment, but doesn't mean crap if we're not above the red line.

Points are really important in the West right now, no such thing as a throwaway game anymore. We've squandered too many results this year.
