Phil in the postgame interview: “We’re going back home only a goal down, I fancy our odds” #rctid

What are the odds Phil doesn’t know this isn’t aggregate scoring? #rctid

Leave DaCosta in San Diego. There’s a men’s rec team that would pick him up. #rctid.

Watch DDC this half and tell me how many physical confrontations he gets in. #rctid

DDC is infuriating. If you took names off the kits and didn’t tell me their status I would think he was a T2 call up not our highest paid player. #rctid

Fory isn’t remotely healthy. #rctid

Timbers have to be so smart and patient out of possession tonight. San Diego wants and invites high pressure. They are so comfortable in tight spaces in possession and absolutely ethered us last game when they broke our first line. #RCTID

Coming back to this. Thus was absolutely insane. Like on what planet is that not a handball? My six year old. SIX looked at me and said “he hit it with both hands Dad!”

The right thing to do would be to fire Neville tonight. Bench DaCosta permanently and sell him in the winter and send a message. This team isn’t going anywhere this year but set a tone for the future. #rctid

I hope that’s the last time we David DaCosta in a Timbers jersey. BYYYYYEEEEE. 👋👋 #rctid

Collection of individuals. And they play like it. I’m convinced this team has a number of guys that could make for a hell of a squad. But right now it’s aimless out there and that starts at the top. #nevilleout #rctid

Velde has been on behind the D at least three times in these first 20 mins and the midfielders, especially DaCosta, are just hanging onto the ball too damn long. #rctid

I don’t follow baseball. It’s not my sport. But what Ohtani did tonight.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

He gave his (b) all (s) for the team!

I am deceased

VERY chill out here tonight at ICE processing facility south of downtown Portland. Federal Judge (Immergut, appointed by Trump) just made ruling from the bench no federalized Guard to Portland from anywhere period.

If you are seeking answers to why the Timbers play like a collection of talented but completely unconnected individuals here you go: Phil’s footballing perspective in a nutshell

Crapshoot. Bad. #rctid

Crappie is such ass. #rctid

Losing Fory for longer than expected has been a tough blow for the Timbers. He’s having a great season and is missed. Sad to see him not even on the bench! #rctid

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"War Torn Portland" 🙄

The word I would use for the Timbers right now is: aimless. They are talented professionals so you will see moments of individual or team talent, but they have no idea what their expectations are of them. Aimless #rctid

Another bad loss. #rctid

DaCosta’s body language and performance was wildly negative tonight. Like not sustainable going forward bad. #rctid

‪I mean this with no due respect: Neville is a 90’s manager in 2025. He’s so underwater he should call himself a submarine. Needs to go. This team has good pieces, just needs a good manager to put it together…LIKE VANCOUVER. ‬ #rctid

Holy hell. Velde playing like a man possessed. He could’ve had a hat trick. My man is playing ANGRY. 😤 #rctid

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This may have been the most insane and incoherent four days of his presidency. Tylenol, the U.N., I hate my opponents, other countries are going to hell, this escalator's broken, I'm mad at a TV comedian, I like Ukraine now. It really feels as if some minimal tether to reality has snapped.

We shall see if one of the most unpopular presidents in American history who is presiding over an economy he’s trying to wreck and the poisoning of our diplomatic relations can consolidate a dictatorship. I’m pretty skeptical he has the juice, especially in his decayed state.

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Ian Smith has been very bad tonight. Like yikes bad. #rctid

This ain’t a serious playoff team. #rctid

I’m a huge Ortiz critic but tonight I thought he was very good. #rctid

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

THIS. They are losers. That can only get people to like them by force.

“What’s going on” has zero relevance to the average American. They don’t care about Kimmel nor the hyperbolic language about “saving Democracy”. They care about feeding their family and they’ll care when Trumps terrible economic policies hits them hard.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

Yall think the reaction to Kirk’s death is bad, just wait till the orange one kicks the bucket. They are going to LOSE THEIR MINDS.

I want to be clear about what I'm saying here. I'm not denying the danger. I'm not denying the threat. I AM saying that we live in a geographically huge country where the vast majority oppose this administration. They don't have the power to work on that scale. Tho they want us to believe they do

For once I agree with Phil. Red Bulls should never have been in that game. They are awful. #rctid

@proreferees.bsky.social come get your boy in the Red Bulls vs Timbers game tonight. He thinks we all came to see him. #rctid

Insightful thread re: Kirk's space in the MAGAverse

guys, we have a tone shift

I expected the usual suspects to fire off stupid shit in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death but I didn’t have @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social going full MAGA on my bingo card in 2025.
