We meet again.
The Portland Timbers exorcised a lot of demons in their 2015 MLS Cup run. And at their first training session on Saturday morning it was clear that the Greed-and-Gold are still carrying with them a great deal of confidence from their trophy-winning campaign.
But among the foes that remain for this team is one that should have been vanquished long ago: March wins.
The statistic is as well-known as it is longstanding; the Timbers remain winless in March during the Caleb Porter Era. That’s 0-for-12 when it comes to winning games in the month of March.
