Just a question:
Colud someone please tell me where exactly the "Trade McBride, Dump McBride, McBride sucks" crowd is now?
I seem to recall "chatting" with several Crew "fans" a few months back who thought he was worthelss.
Frankly, the guy is a ********in stud.

Steady PK finish.
Nice chip pass to Cunningham on goal numero two.
Looks like the ref is starting to call the persistent infringement on McBride, resulting in Addo going off after weed-whacking Maissoneuve from behind...
What more could you ask for?

Bill, it WAS worth it to see Mike Segroves eat his crow after Japorea ;)
Let it be said, I was ALWAYS in McBride's corner!

What did you expect? Rich Grady is the ref tonight. He dishes out red cards as if he was a cop trying to get his quota. ;)
It WAS the proper call, though. Too bad a lot of refs do ignore the "red card for tackles from behind" rule that was only sooo recently instituted.

Do I hear friggin' cow bells there? Perhaps those are the "cow people" to which Metro fans were referring.

Yes, yes you do. And that piped in Metro music must be that "ethnic feel" you get in Jersey.

Not 11 v 10 ...
If we pack it up one goal and player up then Greg should be fed to flesh-eating monkeys.

Actually I'm more worried about the Crew going into "long-ball" mode...

BIG damn win boys. Wow, Cunny makes the most of his time, Warzycha doesn't give away any horrible free kicks in his 10 mins, and West finally gets his first goal. I'm feeling good. Bombay's all around tonight if ya hit a bar in Indy.
Although Leitch was giving me a heart attack guarding Diallo. But its all good.
3-2.
BTW, Splarg and Own-Goal were you guys at a corner flag, I coulda sworn I heard a "Kyle" chant on MSG's feed in the second half. If so nice work boys.

big bob made an appearance...
why? all he did was give the ball away a few times and totally come up empty on some slide tackles that did make him look his age.

that ball to west and west's finish...total first class!

I think tonight's broadcast was brought to us by the Dublin Coffman High School A/V Club. The presentation - the nice zoom in/zoom out/zoom in shots, graphics over important plays, missing MetroStars' PK play live - was simply outstanding.
Tonight showed, in my opinion, why Jeff Cunningham needs significant playing time. He was continually dangerous, had a goal and an assist, and proved effective in killing time.
Could the Crew defense be any slower to the ball? Both MetroStars goals were the result of Crew defenders getting blown away by Metros, especially Diallo's goal by passing Clark like a traffic cone. That trend for the evening was kind of distressing.
And tonight was the first time in his brief MLS career that I was frightened by Busch's height.

And the antacid I took did NOT help http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/frown_2.gif
And OMG he whiffed BADLY on one slide tackle. I literally put my head in my hands after witnessing that sad spectacle.
