Portland has a professional lacrosse team? Who knew?


Woohoo! Darren, me, and 9,914 fans got to see the Portland Lumberjax win their first home game ever against the Colorado Mammoth. (The score was 12-11.) Neither Darren nor I know much about lacrosse but it isn't hard to figure out the most important stuff, like to score the ball must be thrown in the appropriate goal and the players can use their lacrosse sticks to strike members of the opposing team. There was one impressive fight that broke out late in the game that had referees sending three players (one Mammoth, two Lumberjax) to the penalty box. Fights are cool.
