Unless you're on Twitter or r/Timbers on Reddit you may have missed some important news.
So some news from my end: The Timbers-Sounders game on 5/13 is going to be my last game covering the Timbers.

These last seven-plus years have been more fun than I ever would’ve guessed, and you all made it that way. So thank you. #RCTID
Lets show him our appreciation.
First, from me: He's been an important cog to bringing Timbers to masses. Mounds of unpaid hours only to be compensated with press box food and a strict code of not cheering for your team. As one who has been here from nearly the absolute beginning of Stumptown Footy, Chris brought a professionalism and insight that we're all going to miss. The bar is going to be hard to meet.
Good luck, Chris! Fair winds and following seas.
