    sadly there is no denying the fact that the timbers kill the beavers (except MAYBE thursdays?) in attendance. just wish they had been able to figure out a stadium for them that wasn't a cavern like pge. such a horrible site for AAA baseball.

    I have been to one game of the Beavers - and it was a waste of time and money.

    Portland--regardless of what's here currently--is a major league town. The viewing numbers for MLB as well as Mariner ticket purchases in the Portland Metro Area demonstrates we'd support a major league team. A minor league team? Not so much.

    I always here that the lack of corporate support is the biggest factor as to why Portland hasn't landed an MLB franchise. What do you think?

    God damn, I would love a freakin' MLB baseball team in Portland :sigh:

    I cant imagine very many people at a game on a Wednesday afternoon in Portland. But that could just be me.

    It's not dead but it'll be a while. I was hoping the city would be able to steal away the D-Rays, an up-and-coming team.

    I was under the impression that AAA ball kind of thrives in smaller communities, suburbs, etc....focus on family outings and strange BBQ and local food oddities.
