    I have to agree with what Andrew Miller posted in his blog... I think we see a more consistent Randi Patterson this term. He really fell off the face of the earth in the second half last term, but I am not sure why. Here's to hoping that changes. A few more goals last year would have made for a very different situation for the Battery.

    I think other teams started focusing on him and took him out of the games.

    Plus, the 1st half of the season for him could have just been FM......F***ing Magic. Players in any sport can go on a streak and there's no explaining it.

    I happy to see that Alcantara is still on the roster, I think that San José play dirty with him, made him go all the way over there, after the Charlestton put him on the roster to don't even put in one game :mad:

    Nigel Codrington has been the mainstay on Guyana's national team and has always been
    one of the leading scores in the Trinidad and Tobago Pro-League, he is extremely quick
    and has power is both of his feet. He will provide lots of goals for the Battery.

    O’Brian Woodbine is only 20 years old and is already a member of Jamaica’s senior
    team. He should add some strength to the defense.

    According to Mike Anhaeuser, Alcántara is still with the Earthquakes and should return to Charleston this week.
    Good luck to the Battery and let's pray that the win the CCC this year.

    Alcántara entered the last 15min of the match vs. Toronto on Saturday. Coach Anuhauser had mentioned earlier last week that he was not sure when Alcántara would be getting back from the San Jose Earthquakes. I am sure we will see more of him in the next two games and I believe he will be signed as he obviously has talent, speed and is in top physical condition. The Cuban experience with Osvaldo Alonso last year could clear the path for more talented players like Alcántara to break ground in American Soccer and I wouldn’t be surprised that he will bring the Battery much needed strength up front the team desperately needs. The other 2 Cuban players, Fife and Bermudez have been in training with the Battery all last week and therefore got more play time. They too looked impressive but I did notice Fife to be a bit out of breath. Looking forward to Wednesday with Real Salt Lake and I wonder if anyone here knows if the game would be streamed live anywhere on the Internet? Let me know….

    A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Treschuk, 5-11, 170 lbs., 26 yrs., played college soccer at Penn State University.

    Midfielder Tyler Hemming joins the Battery after spending the 2007 & 2008 seasons with Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC. Prior to turning pro Hemming was a four-year starter at Hartwick College and was named the Atlantic Soccer Conference Player of the Year in two consecutive years.

    All three I fell are good pick ups. Woodbine and Hemmings were pretty solid throughout the the tourney. Treschuk had some good moments as well but seem a little gased in the last match.

    I hope Yoshi is another name we hear in a few days ( I know the Battery like to keep the announcements spaces to keep a buzz going)

    I think Indoor ends the first part of April so hope Armstrong and Patterson begin to gel with the team.

    Yoshi has to be in the mix. In Andrew's latest blog, he says there's another 3 players waiting to be announced. Like Mikey said, probably waiting to space it out or waiting on paperwork. On foreign players, you have to get clearance from their national association that they're not under contract with any other club. You would think though that the Japanese would be efficient.

    Little trivia bit: When we had Ugo the first year, remember it took forever to get his clearance? The African FA wanted us to give them $500 for the paperwork, i.e. a bribe. (I could probably find me a job with the African FA....)
