Thus ends year 7 at Providence Park of covering the Portland Timbers.
They’ve got at least one game left, but the lights are officially off at the Park for the Timbers for 2025.
Regardless of when this season ends, I am still eternally grateful to be able to do this. Onward. #RCTID

Hello from Decision Day at Providence Park - which will surprisingly *not* be the last home Timbers game in 2025.
Results tonight will determine if that last home game will be next Wednesday or in November (please make it in November, guys) #RCTID

One of these is a perennial PNW underachiever who recorded an unbelievable and massive win over the weekend.
The other is Oregon football.

How huge was last night’s Thorns win? It opened up a six point gap between them and the playoff line.
Not out of the woods yet, but with two out of the last three on the road that gap may prove vital. #BAONPDX

Don’t look now, but the Thorns are suddenly just three points above the playoff line. Four left to play (vs BAY, @ ORL, @ LA, vs HOU), and those final three opponents will very likely have something to play for.
Buckle up. #BAONPDX

Welp the Timbers get absolutely zero help from their neighbors up I5, as Seattle loses at the death to Austin. Portland ends the week in 7th, still in the thick of a classic Western Conference rock fight for the playoffs. #RCTID

While the Timbers were getting the poutine knocked out of them in Toronto, I was busy looking at… much nicer things.
