    I'm a baseball fan and I can tell you who won every World Series going back to the 60's.

    but in all seriousness I am reminded of the picture Canzano showed once with a huge winterhawks player holding a tiny Blazers little hand like little brother. I'm not saying the Timbers or MLS will overtake NBA anytime soon if at all. But stuff happens.

    I think the last full game of Baseball I watched was game 7 NYY vs Diamondbacks with LuGo's winner. After that I remember falling asleep during the clincher when the Angels beat the Giants

    I've NEVER watched a full baseball game! Even when I'm working the TV broadcast on one.

    The Timbers games are so exciting. I had never been to a game until I got hired to work there. If any of you go, come say hello. I work between sections 111 & 112 helping people find their seats, even though they never sit in them. I love it when The Timbers Army chants to the people in the Key Bank Club " All those sitting stand up now"!

    THIS, is what it comes down to. You wonder why many chicks don't like to watch football? Most of the time it has to do with them not understanding all the rules, strategies, and the nuisances of the game.

    Soccer is the same, if you don't understand it you won't respect it. The 'pros' make it look so easy it can seem boring. But if you understood how impossibly hard it is to control the ball with your foot like a magnet, and how much strategy is involved in keeping possession of it while sprinting at full speed, then you can start to get enthralled by the game and how truly amazing it's athletes are.
