    I would've been 9 at the time. For some reason I can't remember who 13 is. Is that Bill Lambeer?

    #13 is Chris Mullen. Played for Golden State. Am I the only one who played NBA Jam? ;)

    Only guy I didn't recognize was Christian Laettner. Had to look up the roster to see who he was. Is it sad that I could name all of the other guys and what teams they played for, but if given a current Olympic lineup I wouldn't know half of them?

    I had a feeling I was wrong. I recognized the face, but that was about it. NBA Jam was good times.

    I think of the Other Dream Team, who I rooted for wholeheartedly:

    Yes, now back to Olmes. How long before he's a bonafide #2 striker?

    I'd say very best case scenario: June 2013
    Worse case scenario: Never
    My expectation: Maybe next season?

    EDIT: Not that I have any inside information at all. I'm just guessing based on age and experience so far.

    So if we think Findley and Sabo will start up top who is the first striker of the bench?

    I'm going to say Plata. However, I'm not sure how he would fare against a more physical Quakes.

    So if Plata isn't big enough, and Olmes isn't settled in does Kreis and Co feel comfortable to bring in Sandoval?

    Does Sandoval play with Saborio? Don't they play the same kind of position?

    Anyway, my guess is that if Kreis didn't think Plata was big enough to play against another MLS team, he wouldn't have picked him up.

    [teenage speak] If Sandoval plays against the Quakes, he should totally bleach his hair before the game, just to throw the Quakes into a state of confusion.[\teenage speak]

    Someone should tweet this to him and see if he'll bite. Or IBIK can twist Rimando's arm and get the team members to pony up $10 for the bleach kit and get Devon to choose between bleach or cut, since they didn't haze him like they did Seba last year.

    That's why you give him the choice - bald or blond? You know he'll pick the Leinhfart Jr. look...

    If we are winning or losing by two goals we should put Saunders in as a field player so he can play with his pal Lenhart (remember the fracas last year)?

    What about a bald Sandoval Hmm, would look a bit like Sauzo from Monterrey.

    Wasn't it Olave and Javi that got Seba to cut his hair last year? If Olave was there to show up with the bleach kit, i'm sure Sandoval would have to concede.

    Count me on the strange side, but I actually really like Seba's hair. My wife thinks it is the absolute worst thing she's ever seen, but for some unknown reason, I like it.
