    It really is too bad the Hillsboro team took the name of Hops. It would be a fantastic MLB name for a Portland team. Almost too good.

    Pretty sure that (a) the Hops would be leaving town if MLB came in, and (b) an MLB team could afford to buy the name from the Hops.

    Since Portland ends in a hard 'd', something that starts with a vowel might be good. I liked the sound of Portland Expos when they tried to make that happen.

    Or a P. Like Portland Petards

    I think it's going to be hard to name the team. I hate to say it but I fear the worst.

    And then when we get rained out, we can look forward to “Portland hoisted by its own petard!”

    Mavericks.

    Then have Kurt Russell as the official spokesman in promos.

    MLB teams pay 31% of their revenue into a profit sharing fund. Is Portland going to earn what the Yankees do with the YES network? No.

    There is a huge imbalance.

    Another bird name, since you know I love birds, is The Portland Meadowlarks, since the Western Meadowlark is our state bird.

    People would think Meadowlark Lemon was born here or something?
