The first team won’t be playing again until the 10th, and the next home match is almost three weeks away. It’s a good opportunity to check out a reserves match this Thursday night at 7:30pm. The last reserves match drew over 10k fans (including over 2000 sales on Groupon), so it will be interesting to see how many come out this Thursday. The time was recently rescheduled.

There won’t be any Thirsty Thursday specials, hence we are calling it Fully-Quenched Thursday. Merritt Paulson tweeted that next year’s Thursday reserves matches would have drink specials.

Once the clock hits two-thirty, I head quickly to Plaid, beg the clerk to sell me a six pack of tall boys, grab a handful of slim-jims and buy all the Oregon Lottery scratch-its I can afford. I love Fridays, but Fridays are about to get that much sweeter due to the deal MLS has signed with MDI entertainment. MDI Entertainment is a is a global leader in providing customized, end-to-end gaming solutions to lottery and gaming organizations worldwide. So there is distinct possiblity you could buy a Portland Timbers themed scratch-it in the near future. Things have never been better!
