Pat & Pete survive some audio difficulties to huddle around a single microphone and talk about the game against Houston, macroeconomic trends' effects on MLS and Pat tries to do a bit bout the newly released collective bargaining agreement.  Follow us @morrisonicpod.

Pete and Pat get started podcasting about the Timbers and the other stuff.  We also learn to not leave our cell phones on the desk while recording, so sorry about the last two minutes or so.  Also, Everton beats Newcastle 3-0 in the bar downstairs.  We don't talk about that game, but there is some mysterious cheering throughout the podcast that needed some explaining.
