PrintSorry for the break in your usual Timbers Tid Bits. Apparently Google decided to update their Google Reader RSS feed which, as it so happens, completely borked my browser making it impossible for me to read my own news. Since I get most of my news from my Google Reader feed it put a damper on my ability to find and share the news with you guys.
Anyway, it's all better now, Google pushed an update through and you can expect regular TTBs once again!
Also, we'll have our usual play off recaps done by tomorrow. There are two very large games tonight with the second halves of the Los Angeles Galaxy vs. New York Red Bulls and Houston Dynamo vs. Philadelphia Union games coming to a head.
Enjoy your morning news!

For all the crap Andrew took for his article on the Sounders game...
Folks before you settle into the usual mid-winter Seattle gloom-and-doom just imagine the alternatives:
You could be on the phone trying to convince some D.C. politicians to help keep D.C. United in the district.
You could be a Portland Timbers fan green in envy and red in anger that your bitter rival claimed the first MLS Cascadia Cup (and likely next year’s too…)
You could be a Vancouver Whitecaps fan sitting at home watching Toronto FC unfairly representing your country. Or…perish the thought…
You could be a New England Revolution fan. shudder
Sounders fans are just as classy as ever. At least here we debate whether we should be saying this stuff.
It’s all trash talk in good fun as far as the Timbers and Cascadia are concerned, but given that DC United actually has the history the Sounders like to prattle on about, the jabs aimed their way seem in poor taste.
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!
