Hmm, I was a little stumped as I was expecting 10 Thursday matches. It’s that “Friday” July 10 that’s throwing me off.
Diane,
9, 10: who’ll be able to keep track after all that (relatively) cheap beer anyway?!
Good point. I’ve been told that it really is Thursday, July 10. I think that makes 10 Thursdays and no Fridays? I’m just giddy thinking about the season coming!
Hmm, I see all of your Timbers rumors below have come to fruition…
It’s uncanny!
