It's with great excitement that we welcome Chris to the Timbers organization today. He is very passionate about the game of soccer and offers a great deal of experience in all of the areas we were looking for in a new coach and general manager. |
Jamie came in over the summer and she said 'Coach, tell me what I need to do to lead this team,' ... I told her to go out and get in front and they'll all follow. I was thinking about a top five finish but you can't argue with first place. |
Not bad for a first two miles of the season. She ran a great race. |
Right now, they're the leader of the pack. They're a billion times defending champion in most meets. They're the favorites in every meet, so there's definitely no shame in losing to a team like East St. Louis. |
She's one of those kids that goes along in practice and does everything you ask her to do. |

The industry itself has become increasingly competitive. You need to see these kinds of mergers for these companies to thrive and survive. |
The weather is bad, so we are sending in cold weather kit. |
This game will be a great start to the 2006 season, and it will be a unique opportunity for fans to get an early look at the Beavers as they approach their home opener on April 6. |
This gives these other kids a chance to get in the spotlight because we have a really deep team. |
This is a great testament to the support you are sharing. |
This is an outstanding opportunity for me. Not only am I excited to have joined such a vibrant organization, but I also get to work in PGE Park, one of the finest facilities anywhere. I'm also looking forward to working closely with Jim Taylor (Timbers' general manager) and his talented staff to continue building on the success of soccer in Portland. |
Today was a remarkable first day of ticket sales. We've made considerable strides over the last two years, and, coming off our strongest preseason ticket sales effort to date, we are confident that today is a great indicator of another year of substantial growth. |
We didn't do well at this event last year. That was our focus, we wanted to come out strong. |
