Over the weekend the Independent Supporters Council, (currently chaired by Portland) voted to rename their beloved, traditional, much coveted annual Wooden Spoon Award which is given to the worst performing team in MLS. It will hereafter be known as the Anthony Precourt Memorial Wooden Spoon. No, I am not making this up.
Dead serious. (HSH and Crew Union are both listed as members) They were among the very first groups to oppose the PSV/MLS mugging. http://independentsupporterscouncil.com/savethecrew-isc-statement/
That's one supporters award that the league will not be co-opting any time soon.... And I don't think we'll be in any danger of winning that. Wile I'm not that fond of all the moves made, the Crew should still be a decent side. Get a striker or Zardes performs at a higher level? Then we'll be pretty good.
This past weekend I was playing with analogies for Fratass. Nothing quite fit. Then I recalled two of the best days of my life: when my boy and girl were born. They were so beautiful. No words are quite encompassing for those early moments with your newborn child. You cuddle them, you nurse them, and then the black goo comes. Meconium. AP is meconium. Mucus, bile, viscous, and bacterial.
I think it's funny that it's the "memorial" wooden spoon too. Is that because he's dead to us, or that we all hope he dies?
