Enough with those scoreless draws, already
By Bob Kellett | May 19th, 2008How to explain it? Three nil-nil draws in the past four games. Even with inferior players up front in 2007 the Timbers weren't shutout three times in four games. With the addition of Chris Brown and Takayuki Suzuki this wasn't supposed to happ ...
