It’s kicking off.

I realize I haven’t posted in a while but to be honest, I probably would have just ranted about something or other so I decided to keep myself limited to 140 characters.
However, do to some serendipitous events, possibly due to some planetary alignment or the SuperMoon, I found myself flipping through all the games last night and felt the urge to write something.
First, besides the late games (Goats cramming those attending into parts of the stadium to make it look fuller than it was, and Smurph fans scared of a …

MLS:  Fair & Balanced?

When the season started, there was a lot of talk about how this season would provide the first ‘balanced’ schedule and the closest we’ll get to a true Supporters Shield winner. Champions of the ‘we need to be like Europe’ philosophy jumped all over this opportunity.

What goes up…

Ordinarily I won’t go near the topic of some type of promotion/relegation system in MLS. To be honest, I don’t think it’s needed. What will it really bring?

At first I was excited to see Yallops latest gamble was to bring Edson Buddle to LA. But then I noticed he was giving up Tyrone Marshall to do so. Further thought leaves me thinking the backline isn’t the problem as much as LAs lack of goals. After all, isn’t Abel Xavier already in town waiting for his work permit?
This should be a good move. Alan Gordon and Nate Jaqua shouldn’t be planning a long-term stay in LA at this point.
If he wasn’t injured, would Chris …

It’s easy to tell myself, “Ah, I’ll post that tomorrow,” and then do the same thing the next day. It’s easy to get well behind…much like school work. Anyway, I’ve got a little time so let’s get caught up.
The MLSPU gave out a list of all the players salaries a couple weeks ago. Don Garber made some interesting comments about the difference in salaries. At the time, I thought they were a bit out of line. He’s hardly comparing apples to apples here. The …

When Guevara was taken off by Preki on Saturday night, something just didn’t seem right. I had wondered at the time if his move to LA wasn’t working out as planned–much like his time in NY. Now it looks like my suspicions were right.
The guy is a talented player. Hopefully he’ll do better in Toronto. It’s good to see Nagamura heading back to LA…too bad it’s with the goats.
UPDATE: Perhaps it’s not happening. However, LA Soccer News is pretty reliable so I’m guessing it was …
