Portland will be starting the season in slightly better shape than last time.  Our recruiting went well, we have particularly high hopes for George Cocoran, while Paul Foreman and Peter Van Norden should develop into solid performers.   Danny Power is unlikely to get his bum off the bench much, however.

Our first three matches bring one certain loss, against Columbia Crazy Tomatoes, but the other two matches, against Ames Artichokes and Sheboygan Vampire Bats, should be a bit more competetive
