I'm not saying the new DC United uniform is bad, but the phrase like jabbing needles in my eyes did come to mind.

It's not just that new DC United uniform is bad, it's that they're all bad... save for Chicago. There's still seems pretty cool. But everyone else is the same jersey with a different color. Although, I think Kansas City's is different... but what the hell.

MLS sold out! :(

Of course, MLS selling anything, is a good I guess.

The only difference I noticed was an adidas logo on all of them. Until someone drastically changes colors or something like that, it's all minutiae to me.

Chivas trades #1 to the scum for #5 and the Bob Bradley take me please! player to be named later

[Knave]

I'm thinking that player is Amado Guevara.

[cherno]

RSL take Medhi Ballouchi #2.

I didn't think he'd go that high.

Cherno

[gocaps]

Wow, Guevara will have fallen far if he's gone from being dealt straight up for EJ to having been dealt ALONG WITH a #1 pick for an untested American wingback.

[Lanky134]

That was the first thought that came to my mind. No way is Gaven worth a #1 overall.

[gocaps]

But it's a player plus the Metros pick. That might make more sense than Guevara, although who the hell knows. Guevara is also a mercurial headcase who takes up both a foreign slot and a max salary.

[Knave]

Guess it could be Razov too.

[rebelzero]

the #2 pick isn't so surprising to me - MLS teams know that finding playmaking MFs are hard to come by

And I heard the Crew were shopping Martino around....

[gocaps]

Guess it could be Razov too.
Good point. Wasn't it rumored he was going to Chivas for a "partial allocation"?

[rebelzero]

and Garey goes #3

Gaven to Columbus for Buddle.

Wonder if he'll be renting Clint's old place with the kegs in the basement...

That guy is so slow! I can't see him making the jump to MLS at attacking midfield.

Columbus took Garey. Still lots of players out there ...

[cherno]

Crew take Garey. Also higher than I thought he'd go, but it makes sense. Crew need offense.

Cherno

[gocaps]

I love Garey, but that might be too high. That'll reunite him with his old college running-mate, Dominic Mediate.

Metros boards are saying that some reporter in a chat session indicated that it might be Jason Hernandez as the PTBNL in the Chivas deal. Then another guy said, "I thought it was Razov".

[Bill-DC]

Crew take Garey. Also higher than I thought he'd go, but it makes sense. Crew need offense.

Cherno

Damn. I really like Garey and I really despise the Crew. Two Terps on the Crew.

(edit-Paul gave me the answer about Mediate)
