Quakes should get an automatic 1-0 lead after the farce that was the last 10 seconds of last game.

I don't understand why we play for example, Seattle 3 times before we play Colorado twice in a row. Can't they spread them out better?

That's not so much a roof as it is shitty modern art.

You don't want a roof shaped as a mountain peak? :confused:

Glen and Arturo will be out. Sounds like a couple other players are caring knocks.

Since we tend to die at the 70 minute mark and we are playing in Denver, I expect a 2-0 loss.

Having trouble getting up for this game since I doubt the team will be.I think they'll be "up" enough for it, but it's hard to feel confident about it, given the team's road record, and the fact that they're missing some key players, and the fact that they really couldn't outplay Colorado at home, and the fact that the team tends to fade late possibly due to fitness, and the fact that the game is at altitude.

But I keep waiting for them to surprise me. You'd think that with all of the randomness that occurs in a soccer match, and the relative parity of the teams, they'd get a win eventually just due to some fortunate bounces.

The referee will be Ricardo Salazar, so you can expect a few surprises and randomness, especially in the second half.

Gametime forecast is low 40's and a 50/50 shot of rain. There will be a mix of rain and snow overnight tonight in some parts of the Denver metro area.

Maybe the weather will interfere with his being able to beam in from outer space.

I nominate this for best post of the year. I almost shot soda out of my nose reading this.
