Timbers still confident even after loss to Real Salt Lake

The Portland timbers lost to Real Salt Lake 2-1 last night, and there’s a lot to dive into there. But I have to start this article with an apology to Timber Dave. As you may or may not know, I wrote an article earlier this week about how everything seemed to be going according to plan for the Timbers. Well, Timber Dave made note of the headline.

So for this, I apologize Timber Dave. While I like to think it was the porous first half that dug us in more, I have to acknowledge that my jinx played a role in this loss.
