Pre-match: Wizards vs San Jose - Final home game of season? [R]

Oooooh, double the pleasure.

Will this also be Sealy's last ever appearance in KC? IIRC, part of the reason we traded him was his intent to move abroad after his contract expires at the end of the season.

 

Since this could be our last game, I hope to see Kerry get some minutes so we can see him off.

 

If I understand it correctly, we can have a spot wrapped up this weekend.

Scenario (worst case with us securing):

We beat SJ, putting us at 39 points.
Chivas ties Colorado, putting them at 35 points.
RSL beats Dallas, putting them at 39 points, and with the prior result, secures a playoff spot, taking the 3rd guaranteed West slot.
DC United ties Columbus, putting them at 35 points.
NY wins, putting them at 39.

Eliminating RSL from the Wild Card picture, that leaves this going into the last weekend:

KC - 39
NY - 39
DC - 35
DAL - 35
COL - 35

In other words, let's close down SJ and hope RSL closes down Dallas. If Columbus and Chivas get a tie in their games, we're in.

 

I asked him how the leg was when the team came over to the Cauldron after the final whistle, and he said it was fine. He did not appear to be favoring it at that point.

We are planning a multi-part Tifo to honor Kerry during this game. Will probably be later in the match, so I to hope to see him on the field as well.

 

WTF is a Chinese Downhill, er uh Tifo?

I saw him walking through the parking lot and I swear he wasn't even limping. Still, usually injuries (soccer, especially) have that "wait until you try and put weight on it the next morning effect". Hopefully he's fine.

BTW, and I know this might not be the thread to post it, but I just finished watching the COL-LA video recap; man, I loved having Jose here but this guy just cannot buy a break at the end of the season; he came in late in the game and you hear the announcer say " and here is Buruciaga with his first touch" and you see him give up the ball to the LA player who advances about 20ft and just unleashes a bullet for LA's 3rd goal (which was the game winner), keeping COL at 34 pts. I wonder if he'll be in COL next year.

Prediction for this Saturday 2-1 and hopefully everyone with 34/35 pts loses so the NE game means nothing.

 

Not missing Jose a bit.........this brings back memories of the NY game on the road late last season. I do believe he got benched after that game and his one way ticket out of town was stamped.

I saw on a N&A thread about the playoffs that we now have about a 75% chance of making the playoffs. We are in the driver's seat at the moment for one of the wildcard spots. Let's get this win so we don't have to worry as much about the last game................please?

 

You combine that with beerfest and you will have some extremely messed people!

 

Uh....yeah.....and I've got some drinking to do...

Count Ben in!!!

 

We can't qualify for SuperLiga- We can't get the pass to the Third Round of USOC- But we can still make the playoffs, and with 3 more well timed wins we could make CCL 2009-10

 

As part of this, I need someone to commit to bringing 8 (eight) 8' x 3/4" pvc poles.

 

Ahh thanks, you'd think... in all my years... ....I'd actually try Wiki first.

No one caught the movie quote (rep to whoever does)

So did we ever scrounge anything together for Super Nick Garcia for his service here and effort for a thrice of championships?

 

I believe that would be Hot Dog - the Movie.

Looks like I won't be making the beerfest due to not wanting to spend an extra $40 on a babysitter and I won't be bringing my keg back...since there are probably 5 or less pints left in it after Saturday...soooo....is there going to be a keg? I heard rumor of one, but wanted to find out if I need to make backup plans.

Oh and this is a must win. <ducks>

 

Yes!! Plan on staying around in the Cauldron after the match.

Sorry everyone.....I guess that's my fault

 

i ask the keg question as well, its my turn to play the part of the family drunk...so i may be going to beer fest if i can work it into my budget then partake of a keg...which will there be hands of justice to go around as well?

 

Justice, Magic, and me will be Austin, Tx. and the hand will be making the flight as well. You guys could always make a new beer bong.

Hopefully we win because I want to go to a play-off game.

 

Aww man, I am so jealous I can't be at CABP! Good call on doing something for Nick Garcia - he and Conrad were rocks in the middle for a long time.

 

going to home depot and bed, bath, and beyond should not be called "plans," unless you're frank the tank. i know i know, kirksville probably doesn't have either of those. it is kirksville, though, which means that any opportunity to go on an out of town weekend trip should be utilized.

 

Maybe he has reservations at the nicest restaurant in Trenton. Or LaPlata, IL.
