Timbers Tid Bits: Nil-Nil Edition

All in all, the only way the weekend could have been more perfect for the Timbers is if they had won against the Philadelphia Union and DC United had tied with Chivas USA. Other than that, the New York draw, Houston loss, Dallas loss and Columbus loss all benefit the Timbers in their hunt for one of those play-off spots. Also, an interesting factoid, Saturday's nil-nil draw is a first for the Timbers as an MLS side.

Enjoy the morning news!
