Beavers and Bridges
Ken, Mike, Eric and I hit the yard last night to catch the Portland Beavers in action at PGE Park. Two dollar beer night seemed to draw the coeds out of their summer doldrums, as the concourse and certain sections of the yard could have easily passed for a college party.
Pretty sure the Beavers came out on top of the Las Vegas 51s (terrible name), but more importantly, we developed an acronym or pseudonym or whatever you call it to remember the names of all the Portland bridges. I figured I'd share that info here as (a) I'm likely to forget; and (b) it's damn useful information. The sentence describes the guy who, in theory, built the bridges and is as follows:
Some Rich Motherfucker Had Motherfuckin Balls! Serious Balls! Fuckin Shit!
The sentence captures the bridges in order, south to north:
*Sellwood
*Ross Island
*Marquam (I-5)
*Hawthorne
*Morrison
*Burnside
*Steel
*Broadway
*Fremont
*St. Johns
Enjoy! And keep this sentence in mind on your next trip to Portland.
