OK Seattle. 

With your X-Box sponsorship. Your puke green uniforms. Your Drew Carey ownership. 

Get ready for some real soccer.

Some Pacific Northwest soccer. 

Some cleats up, your-going-home-in-a-Portland-ambulance, style of soccer.

You've got one more season until we join MLS, then your short, short time in glory will come to a merciless end. 

You see, next season the Portland Timbers are joining MLS, and the league isn't going to be the same.

You've got Sleepless in Seattle. We've got Drugstore Cowboy. 

You've got Starbucks. We've got methadone clinics. 

You've got Microsoft. We've got tattoo parlors.

Starting to get the picture?

I can't wait until 2011.

I'm counting the days, hours, and minutes. 

Until then. 

'Build a bonfire, build a bonfire

Put Seattle on the top

Put Vancouver in the middle,

And burn the f-cking lot.'
