Any Timbers fan in San Francisco interested in getting together to watch the season opener and other games this season? I don't know if there is already a 'Timbers Bar', but It would be great to get a regular spot in the city to enjoy games with fellow Timber's Fans/Army members. 

I'm open to suggestions for a bar, but I know McTeague's is a great place to watch a soccer game.

Oregonian is reporting that Rudy will be released from the hospital later today. He has been diagnosed with a right bruised chest along with a right hip pointer.

On the issue of his injuries, I have linked a few pages discussing the treatments and recovery times for both injuries below. The most serious of the two appears to be the hip pointer which could keep Rudy out for up to 10 days, and maybe more depending on pain he expiernces.
