    So five games into the season we've started 17 players already. Only five players have started all five games: Beckerman, Borchers, Gil, Grabavoy, and Saborio.

    Kind of funny that the average age between those guys is 32.

    I'm in favor of actually rotating those exact three players this weekend in Philly. Asking Beckerman and Sabo, in particular, to play with the travel they're are going to go through/have gone through has to be brutal.

    So Philly. Beatable if we play decently.

    We're 2-0-3, Philly is 1-1-3 which is really one win turned into a loss. Not that different. One might argue that we've played better teams.

    For my part I'm feeling a little little glass-half empty. Yes we're undefeated but we were dominant only in one match (Toronto) and have skated by with points in the other matches against LA, San Jose, and SKC.

    Philadelphia's Results (1-1-3)
    1-1 Draw @Portland
    1-0 win vs. New England
    2-1 Loss @ Columbus
    1-1 Draw vs. Montreal
    2-2 Draw @ Chicago

    Not exactly an amazing resume, and they're integrating a new piece which will probably hurt their chemistry. Definitely a match we could get points from. Hopefully we'll come up with a first-half-vs-SanJose type performance and steal 3 on the road.

    Current RSL back-up to Nick Rimando, Jeff Attinella and former RSL back-up to Nick Rimando, Chris Seitz both up for Save of the Week.

    Of course, I voted for Jeff Attinella, but Seitz's penalty kick save was pretty good. However, I think that Philly's Zac MacMath (a great name for a high-school math teacher) will probably get it since he got a double save off C-Bus's Mike Magee's penalty shot.

    The article states that "Beckerman is a destroyer type of classic defensive midfielder" which immediately reminded me of Brazilian midfielder Dunga the Destroyer. Beckerman the Destroyer doesn't have the same ring to it, but it gets the message across.

    MLS only likes us when they want the league to look good.

    Beckerman the bruiser?
    Becks the bruiser?
    Kyle the killer?
    The Hair Tsunami?
    The Ragged Hair Renegade?

    Surely we can come up with something the fits better.
