    its back...

    tell your friends and neighbors!

    whether you're a General, an Architect, a Phenom, a Workhorse, an Engine, a Veteran, or just someone who spends too much time looking up BS threads, this is your opportunity to make some picks and prove to your friends, teammates, significant others, or the voices in your head, that you have what it takes to make some correct selections, and win the favor of the crowd (of other contestants) and hear the adulations ring down (usually in the form of my tanuting epithets).

    Of course make too many picks and we report you to MLS for them to check your betting background and if you happen to have the phone numbers for the referees....

    Speaking of - Jegao - have the Brazilian authorities caught up with you yet?

    Anyhow, the games works as follows:

    3pts = correct pick and score
    2pts = correct pick and goal diff.
    1pt = correct pick;
    DPP = double points possible;
    BP= Bonus points game (not part of the MLS season, may include International matches, women's matches, US Open Cup Matches, reserve team outings, or the number of times Steve Nicol has a red face from yelling at an official during a match)


    And so we begin...

    Week 1:

    Tuesday, March 15

    Los Angeles @ Seattle


    Saturday, March 19

    Canadian DPP: Toronto @ Vancouver
    Seattle @ New York
    Columbus @ DC United
    Philadelphia @ Houston
    Chicago @ Dallas
    DPP: Portland @ Colorado
    Kansas City @ Chivas USA
    Salt Lake @ San Jose


    Sunday, March 20

    New England @ Los Angeles



    let the picking, prognosticating. snarkiness, and all around mocking of things begin in earnest

    Good luck to all of those who participate, especially those of you who stay the whole year

    yours in shady management

    My record last year proves I don't have what it takes but I'll do this again anyway. :)

    the same could be said for much of the black and red last year, but it's a new year, and a new opportunity for redemption.

    <Insert inspirational speech and images of fireworks and Messi style goals by people in DC United uniforms and a flyby of fighter jets and end on a big American flag or the "Heart of a Lion" sign for Ben from a few years ago>

    It's on.

    Thanks to rebelzero for taking on the glamorless task of managing the league again this year.

    The Brazilian feds will never catch me. Anyway, my operations there are (mostly) legit since I traded my Paraguayan smuggling routes for the concession to guard the Corintians players and their parking lot from their own fans.

    But the revenuers have been searching every hill and holler for my moonshine still.;)

    I'm pretty sure I'll do better this year for 3 reasons: 1) DCU will be better, so my homer picks will get me more points; 2) I have a slightly better perspective of the league as a whole; 3) I won't drop out in a pool of depression over the results (see point 1).

    Los Angeles 3:1 Seattle
    Toronto 0:0 Vancouver
    Seattle 1:1 New York
    Columbus 0:3 DC United
    Philadelphia 0:1 Houston
    Chicago 0:2 Dallas
    DPP: Portland 1:1 Colorado
    Kansas City 1:2 Chivas USA
    Salt Lake 2:2 San Jose
    New England 0:3 Los Angeles

    Then again, I might still be clueless.

    I knew being home sick from work would make me miss something important yesterday :(

    With no giant sinkhole and no major injuries, I'd call last night's game a complete failure ;)

    great - using all my season luck up in the first week - oh well, time for mid-table mediocrity.

    And JSF - shoulda woulda coulda

    rke - you should never make picks sober. I'm going to fine you if you make picks while sober in the future.

    That is all from the commish
